Okay, this is awesome. Remember
the Kotaku leak that mentioned this game was potentially becoming a new trilogy? Greece and Rome were the other cited locations, and with this kind of arsenal it looks like the character has ties to Greece at the very least. The power plays between ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece will make for an amazing setting for this dev team to play with, and they will have very few restrictions regarding historical events and characters to hold back their imagination with. I'm so glad this is shaping up that way.
Literally my only other (pretty unlikely) wish for this reboot now is character creation. Given these three locations that's a broad spectrum of ethnicity, and of course male and female goes without saying. I'm not sure Ubi want to pursue that route though. They seem obsessed with the idea that Ezio was an amazing video game character, and that every AC lead since should strive to hit his level of popularity.
China would be incredible. There was a
NeoGAF thread a few years ago dedicated to the AC China fan art of a DeviantArt user called
ChaoyuanXu. Some highlights:
But they're all phenomenal and worth drooling over.
