Napoleonic Wars spread between London and Paris.

 

[Blimblim]

AC2 is when Jade took over though .

She was a producer on AC1 and an executive producer an AC2. She had most likely no creative input on AC2 at all.

 

[DeviantBoi]

AC2 is when Jade took over though .

Ahh! Then, yes, odds are that it won't suck as AC3.

 

[daninthemix]

Haven't they covered every era already?

 

[cripterion]

Vikings.

That would be rad.

But changing their whole game formula too would even be better. Shit got old after the 2nd title.

 

[DJMicLuv]

1970's Wolverhampton is my guess. You'll play as Noddy Holder.

Gudbuy t'Jade?

I'd buy it.

 

[Krusenstern]

Haven't they covered every era already?

The earth is not 2000 years old.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I like that pirates is an era, hah.

 

[jkanownik]

Fingers crossed for 1960's SF Summer of Love.

Almost spit out the apple I was eating.

 

[Jarnet87]

80s Miami.

 

[0coolclimate0]

Please god Vikings.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I'm biased, because I'm portuguese, but I think that an Assassin's Creed set on the coast of Africa during the portuguese colonisation would be interesting also.

Yeah the age of exploration in general would be pretty bad ass. Plus they would get to continue to refine that ship combat. Any other setting means pretty much abandoning it.

 

[Sickboy007]

Vikings.

Vikings would be great for the naval series if they're really splitting up the games as they hinted.

 

[BTHR Zero X]

The earth is not 2000 years old.

Tell that to Facebook and Twitter Tweens

 

[Kuldar]

I've seen a picture of a female assassin in Russia, it was from some weird official ubi site where you play ac4 related games or something.

Yep it's from ACInitiates. It's a picture from modern days. I don't know if it's a hint. It's part of a modern day story where we follow the Assassin's leader and his team. They already went to Japan and now it's Russia.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Kinda glad they won't do Japan because it would never be as good as the picture I have in my head for it.

Ancient japanese rooftop architecture, shurikens, rope darts, dressed all in black sith ninjas as the assassin order (no normal AC hood crap, proper black garmenta). Hiding in shadows for stealth. Really agile bouncy movement, not as heavy as previous games.

 

[rezn0r]

French Revolution

yep

 

[LordBaztion]

30 year war Holy Roman Empire, please.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Golden Age Amsterdam please

 

[John Harker]

I like that pirates is an era, hah.

It is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Pirates

Code name for AC4 was "Golden Age'

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Assassin's Creed: Prince of Persia.

Do it.

 

[Lakitu]

I really hope it is Victorian London. I'd buy it.

 

[DeaviL]

Assassins Creed V has already been released and takes place in Hong Kong, Wei Shen was an Assassin all along.

 

[Toa TAK]

The bigger surprise is seeing Raymond involved with AC again.

I'm up for any historical era AC puts out. Been pretty happy with the eras and locations in each.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

She was a producer on AC1 and an executive producer an AC2. She had most likely no creative input on AC2 at all.

Then what would have been her role then if that was the case?

Ahh! Then, yes, odds are that it won't suck as AC3.

AC3 was not terrible, but it was by no means as good as the Ezio trilogy..

 

[zroid]

Vikings.

Victorian

Ya, sorry bud but that's Hollywood Japan. Real Ninja's/Assassin's would be that farmer walking innocently down the street. Suddenly, he pulls his sickle out of nowhere, slashes some noble dude and runs off. THEY NEVER WORE BLACK! That was taken was traditional Kabuki theater where guys dressed in black against a black background were supposed to be invisible and they were used to hold up props and stuff.

Also, they were never bouncy or all that agile. Leave that Wuxia stuff where it belongs

 

[bishoptl]

1970's Wolverhampton is my guess. You'll play as Noddy Holder.

*spits coffee*

 

[BibiMaghoo]

I've been waiting for a Mayan Empire game since they mentioned the Mayan Empire at the end of the first game.

Have you played liberation? Kind of touches on it.

No wait, that might be Aztec...

 

[UnluckyKate]

Do you know how stale Victorian London is getting? The Order 1886, Thief, Dishonored etc. etc.
That setting is so massively overused.

Russian Revolution

or even Ancient Egypt

Now these would bring some fresh air into the video game landscape.

Love these

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Someday they should give this chick her due: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violette_Szabo
Velvet Assassin sucked!

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Better be pirate ships or I wont care

I think they'll have at least one more entry set around or featuring pirates, but it may not be this next instalment.

Consdering she's French Canadian (or is she simply from Montreal?), this might happen. Even tho I'm french Canadian (also?), I'd be bummed out if it wasn't the Vikings era.

Completely off topic, but what does French Canadian mean? Is it different to just being Canadian?

http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/ne...ns-creed-return-it-feels-like-going-home.html

Her studio Ubisoft Toronto is currently working on an unannounced future entry in the series alongside her former team Ubisoft Montreal, which she describes as "like going home".

How depressing to have to pretend to be enthusiastic about it. I'm pretty sure she said they'd be working on something new after Blacklist. I think she was also selling the idea of gender equality in gaming too, so it will be interesting whether any of this permeates ACV.

Toronto is big studio so they could work and they are working on their new game and helping with AC5.

 

[sphagnum]

Nobody will ever do something cool like the Wars of the Diadochi.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Is it too much to hope that the story won't be a meandering mess or clusterfuck of epic proportions?

 

[Spaghetti]

1970's Wolverhampton is my guess. You'll play as Noddy Holder.

this please

p.s jade raymond looks hella different. like different person different.

 

[Impeccable]

War of 1812.

 

[Cimeas]

It'll be London or Egypt. 10% chance French Revolution, but I think they'll wait another one for that.

 

[Ding-Ding]

I think it will be another story over the course of decades like Ezio's.

Location London. Timeframe between 1640's & 1660's.

It would be the best time for an AC visit to London. Oliver Cromwell & the execution of Charles II.

Oh and it would be around the time when Isaac Newton had an apple bounce of his bonce. Newton has been thought by some to be a Grand Master of the Priory of Sion like Da Vinci (thats bollocks if you ask me but matches the source material Ubi have been using)

EDIT. Anyone want to bet it will end with the Great Fire of London in 1666

 

[sphagnum]

The Taiping Rebellion would also make a great setting.

 

[GlamFM]

Vikings.

I'm in!

 

[Joeki11a]

Cant believe she is back mentioning AC after her fiasco

 

[SJRB]

Is it too much to hope that the story won't be a meandering mess or clusterfuck of epic proportions?

Unless they reboot everything, the AC story is beyond saving.

Would be nice if we had some coherent narrative again though, that's for sure.

 

[Adam Blue]

AC Initiates is in the main menu of ACIV, so it's for sure an official AC thing.

I'm thinking Western, btw.

 

[injurai]

Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't double up with whatever mythology GoW is moving onto. I hate when everyone ends up on the same trend for 3 years.

 

[Cragvis]

Pre-historic creed..

using your hidden rock shards, you ride wooly war mammoth into battle to assassinate the evil dark magic tribe leader and his pack of wild saber tooth tiger riding templars!

 

[Angry Grimace]

Wouldn't assassins in historical Japan just be literal ninjas?

 

[Solid Samus]

It must be Egypt. I doubt they canceled Osiris, it was definitely an AC prototype. Spill the beans Jade!

^^^

My bets?

Egypt or Wild West

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Cant believe she is back mentioning AC after her fiasco

............................ and with fiasco you mean?

 

[rezn0r]

Wouldn't assassins in historical Japan just be literal ninjas?

while it would probably be a really fun game to play, I'm guessing that's why they keep saying no to the idea. or they are just lying and it's actually coming. I feel like I remember one of the devs saying he'd love the French Revolution but I'm probably mixing up fan-made stuff, devspeak, and rumors into a big mess inside my brain.
