"Here is Part 1 of my list of possible time periods and settings that I've come up with after pondering the possibilities through the filter of my past education in history.
With Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 2 achieving great first-week sales of 1.6 million units worldwide, a 32 percent increase on the original medieval action stealth title, which sold around 1.1 million copies the first week in 2007, I've decided to jump the gun a bit and explore where and when the inevitable third Assassin's Creed game could take place."
"Hello everyone, we have more details to share concerning the upcoming decommissioning of online services affecting several AC titles, including additional information regarding the DLC for these titles."
When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.
The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.
Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.
Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."
The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.
Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
Fans of Assassin’s Creed will want to check out a new Build Your Own Bundle featuring ten different games from Ubisoft’s popular action-adventure franchise.
You know a game comes out too often when we’re getting BYOB (Build-your-own-bundle) deals! And this cheap? Good deal for parkour lovers! Haha!!
What Ill be doing for valhalla, wait for a sale. Ac and far cry games go really cheap pretty quick. Picked up fc5 for $5 and Odyssey for $10.
Or just wait til Ubisoft gives em out for free lol. they've practically given out all the AC games for free, as well as both Watch Dog games, and Rayman. Ubisoft is weird
Of those first 4, I'd say the French Revolution and the Conquistador New World could be good.
WW2? Are Ubisoft really looking at that?
I think they (Ubi) have thrown the WW2 and Hitler thing in there as a red herring to get ppl discussing the game early, create topical discussion etc.
Then go a complete 180 and have it in another era completely. This is common practice for many PR companies that work for Developers, and Ubi have an excellent way of leading gamers astray, and creating viral marketing for their games.
SO right now, anything is possible, but they have already started on the game (AC3) so it's anyone guess.
But this writer did accurately predict the current location and time period for Assassin's Creed 2 back in 2008 . . . so he's probably closer than you and I to getting an idea of where it could appear.
lol not another WW2 game!!!
lets hope its its set around the 1700 - 1800's I reckon would be the sweet spot
you only have to wait a week for the ww2 AC its called the saboteur.
They need to take AC to japan.
Based on the ending of 2 I would think it would be solely Desmond. He knows what he must do, received the message, and has the skills. It doesn't seem necessary for it to go back to the past again.
