French Revolution would fit thematically with the rest of the AC games.
Although vikings would be badass.

Assassin's Creed V is not Japan, but is Jade Raymond's favorite historical era

Mayan/Aztec would be disappointing. It would certainly be some bullshit End of the World story, and there is actually nothing known about the history of the Aztec and the Maya.
Vikings, though awesome, wouldn't be the AC game I have in mind. Vikings are the early middle ages, so no big cities, primitive boats and lots - lots of raping...
Just pick a big city in an interesting bloody period full of intrigue. Think Dostoyevski's St. Petersburg Moscow, Paris, London, Kyoto, etc.

I moved the acinitiates thing to here since all of Ubisoft's staff follows it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=774389

Egypt
I wanted Feudal Japan, but I'll take Egypt.
Please be Egypt.

I know Nirolak closed the other thread on possible industrial London location, but hey lol. Hoping the rumor about there being two distinct AC's (one for 360/PS3 separate from XBO/PS4) ends up true.

1980s USA, just to piss everyone off.
I would guess it's the French revolution based on her comment that it feels like "like going home"(though that's still a bit ambiguous). Plus it's a fairly predictable, safe setting where they could reuse their sailing system and continue soon after where AC4 left off. Probably the least interesting setting they could've gone with for me as a big fan who became fatigued with the series after AC3. I'll likely pass on this once again as I did with AC4 due to franchise fatigue but we'll see what they do with it.
Apart from Egypt, what were the other Abstergo-proposed settings in AC4? That concept art is the only one that I found memorable (it looked a bit like that canned Prince of Persia reboot).
I'd still like to see China, though, whether it be set in the 1600s or around the European invasions.

I don't play AC games for the story lines as much as I do for immersion in a setting I'd like to be immersed in. I'll play at least one more game set in the Caribbean, and would love a game in Japan or Egypt. I'm not at all interested in exploring Russia or France. We've seen those settings far too many times since the mid-90s.
Give us something we don't have. I'd LOVE a game in tribal Africa or Polynesia.

Thanks for those kind words too, take care buddy. Will miss everyone...

The 90's.
Seriously though, a game in ancient Egypt would be great. Exploring the Nile with similar ship gameplay from AC4 and North Africa would be amazing.

Which is exactly what I mean, it wouldn't match up with what's in my head or what I really would love to play
Anything set in Paris would be cool. Eiffel Tower would be awesome to climb.
Egypt would be cool to climb the pyramids -- as well.
Could there possibly be a interview out there where she touches on some of her favorite times in history? Like from around when she was basically the face of AC1.
Also, does anyone really believe this was their vision the entire time? There is no way with Patrice leaving and the changes in development that they have followed a clear path in terms of "Let's go from Italy to America to Pirates."
I wouldnt mind exploring England (Shakespeare era)

Of course it's not set in Japan because it's set in China... Duh.
I don't know who you're referring to, but in the event it's relevant: The guy that played Edward in ACIV is from Swansea, Wales, as Edward is in game.
This would be my favorite setting - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=507024
Again, hire this guy and make an AssCreed game like this, Ubisoft.

I would really like to see the franchise expand and possibly go to some of the places we've seen in games that we know are in the same universe. Watch Dog's version of Chicago, FarCry's islands and villages, just as an example. FarCry's islands wouldn't be too far off of some of the islands that are in AC:IV.
Bingo
Now this I could get behind. The classical era is unbelievably rich for this sort of thing. Hannibal, goths and gauls, the conquest of britain and boudica. The span of the roman empire gives you a massive variety for locations aswell. It also ties in with egypt through the Ptolemaic dynasty of whom cleopatra was the last of their line. The first ptolemy was one of alexander the great's bodyguards too.

Egypt, the French Revolution, Elizabethan England, Warring States China, or Roman Judea/Israel would make interesting settings, since Japan won't be featured.
Or just give us a Nikolai Orelov game.

Referring to the fact that all the games have to do with cool historical settings, yet everyone speaks english with a phoney accent. Why not take the Max Payne 3 route (a game I would usually never praise) and have people speak in their local language?
It is so much more... interesting.
I hope they don't feel the need to make it play like other Assassin's Creed games. I've done enough eavesdropping, and sneaking around on rooftops as a Viking would be really dumb. Personally I wouldn't mind them slapping the Assassin's Creed name on a very different game if it means we get a game in a unique setting.
Well, if you read my post you'd know not everyone is using a phony accent.

Collapse of the Qing Dynasty, though controversial, would be cool to see.
My guess is the new setting has nothing to do with East Asia, though. Unless it's like Marco Polo traveling to China or something.

Assassins Creed 3 and Black Flag was announced Early March. So can we expect the same here?

Seriously though, I'm not sure how it will turn out but after hearing some things I'm convinced that AC5 is set in China at least until I see otherwise.
Current gen China, Last gen Haytham.
Yeah, if anything here is right, it's the timing. It's probably the next GI cover.

Egypt would indeed be awesome, but when?
They have about 4,000 years of history to work with there and still have it considered "ancient".
Edit: Just saw you said you wouldn't buy it. WHY NOT?

Good luck man and thanks for the threads. I'm going to miss seeing those.
I wish they would do some kind of re-boot or something though. And I wouldn't mind a Industrial age London (or the Cromwell years) or the French Revolution.

French Revolution has constantly seemed like the right next step, but it may feel like treading old water, since AC seems to be increasingly obsessed with taking the franchise to new places. Heading back to Europe may not be in the cards just yet.

Aaaand I don't care about ACV anymore. I'm sure this is one of the most requested eras to do and I need my samurai-Assassin.
