The next Assassin's Creed game may be set in Brazil. Ubisoft Brazil managing director Bertrand Chaverot told Techtudo this week that the next entry in the company's stealth-action series is heading to the South American country.
The report was published in Portuguese and GameSpot has confirmed the translation. A representative from Ubisoft's North American outfit was not immediately available for comment.

next AC game should be for next gen systems so give fans some time and than bring out another i say in fall 2013 or even fall 2014
i will start playing this series when they are set in space on the moon because by the time it gets that ridiculous at least it will be entertaining right?
I don't want anymore AC.
It's overdone, boring now.
If they do what they did for Assassin's Creed III(ie. new engine) with this, then I won't be complaining.
lol
I'd have rather had Japan or French Revolution.
Medieval Japan is riddled with intriguing ideas: ninja, Samurai, that sort of thing.
Because of this, the Ninja has become a cliche. THAT is why it will not happen in Assassin's Creed.
I wouldn't mind seeing it if it did. The ninja were masters of camouflage and covert movement (hiding and sneaking about) so they would fit into the AC universe nicely. The problem is there are already a crap ton of games featuring Ninja.
The assassin ezio trained before he died
He gave her something, that was not revealed
Brazil seems like a weird choice...
I don't know anything about Chinese history except that it would be awesome for an AC game. I know for a fact that Japan would be awesome and will happen at some point, no matter what any one says.
I agree with Deku-Johnny in that, there have been many Ninja games. But how many real Ninja games have a true open world, a good story and authentic portrayal of Japan? Because I think all of those are important for a real ninja game.
The reason for this is the Assassins were based on the Muslim sect Nizari Ismaili, the original Assassins, and the slogan, "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." was attributed to them by German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche(1844-1900), who apparently had quite a bit of praise for their moral code.
Then again, Nietzsche's mustache would crash all but the most powerful gaming PCs.

Late 19th century Japan had samurai, warring factions centered around two major ideologies, loads of covert and small scale armed incidents, guns(continuing past the revolution) and a crap ton of assassinations.
Fighting the shinsengumi one moment and then moving to assassinate a western military advisor the next... the setting screams assassins creed in EVERY WAY. Ubi would be stupid to pass on it.
Edit: it was also the ending of the nations isolationist policy, so the story could revolve around the templars and assassins making deeper roots in the country. The more you look at it, from the faction set-up to the historical personalities(ryoma sakamoto) I can't think of a better timeframe for assassins creed.
The era I mentioned had two main games set in it released recently here: stw: rise of the samurai and way of the samurai 4. And before these, there were NONE. So it isn't really overdone. It has two major factions; the french backed Shogunate(in real life, the templars were mostly based in france) and the British/everyone else backed imperial parties, both of which had fanatical near religous support from their members. It was a time of rapid political, social, economical and war related change, which fits the assassins creed requirements well. And it takes place after the american revolution, which took place after the renaissance(please excuse mah bad spelling... >.>), which took place after the crusades; so it fits an appearant timeline.
What grinds my gears isn't just how lame it would be to ignore this timeframe, but the "reasons" behind why it would be skipped... ridiculous.
Why does everybody want Japan so bad. They done a lot of games and assassins in Japan already. I rather they do china since they have a richer history. I wouldnt mind fighting mongols. China had better building than Japan so it would be easier to navigate. They should do it around when the great wall of china was built.
The director is a moron.
I think another great era is the 15th/16th century with the Portuguese/Spanish/Dutch exploring the world. But since they did the American Revolution it's kinda similar (but much more interesting).
All I can think of is either Egypt or Greeks/Romans. There is nothing interesting after the American Revolution (just boring wars).
His exact words were "You don't want an Assassin's Creed game in Japan."
If it happened in Japan, how different the locations would be from Ninja Gaiden, Tenchu or Onimusha? Even if AC has different gameplay than these games, didn't you already play many games as a ninja in feudal Japan?
So yes, I agree with him that Japan is an overused location. I agree that using different locations that are not commonly used would make more interesting games. Brazil, Africa, Middle East... But not feudal Japan. We already have too many games that use that.
I don't know if Tenchu and Onimucha had games this gen. If they did, put them in the list I created on my last comment.
The American Revolution was used and was a terrible location for AC3 making Free running pointless. I assume that a game in Brazil would mean Free Running in the Amazon Rainforest and that would be where the bulk of the game is, throwing in some Native settlements here and there that aren't the same scale as cities like Italy. Another terrible idea.
I mean it's South America. Not too far off North America and all that. Timeline wise it'd probably flow into the whole Portuguese Empire vs. Napolean thing, as well as Brazil's independence.
What's my point? I can't wait to see how AC4 raises the bar again! Woohoo
Think of it
Cross timelines, cross wars, cross characters that fit each timeline, multi stories... This would extend the main story we are chasing
And and add more branches to the Eden tree and history tree
Give us someone who has some faith in his or her self. I got to play the vita game and after so wouldnt mind a female lead on the console.
Brazil would be good. you have tall buildings, good hills, the slums have interesting structure and u can run through the sewers if they would allow it. Japan wouldnt work to well the buildings are too tall, they wouldnt do the scale least not yet. if it went there then ur talking like a spider-man/gta/ prototype scale and you would loose alot of flow with taking mins climbing a building. so smaller but fuller places with good scale ratio seems the key so it takes a few seconds to scale and you can jump and flow easily. so yeah Brazil would work. I'd also like to see the next Modern Assassins head back home to the original headquarters.

We could have an assassin that travels to all three places, or three different assassins on different places and times but all have an interconnected story. Imagine jumping from one time, learning some cool twist and then go to another time and maybe use that knowledge. There's a lot of storytelling potential.
(Though, tbh, this idea kind of reminds me of Virtue's Last Reward.)
AC3 held promise, but it fell flat just as the couple prior
