Listed it our here.

13th century Egypt.

14th century Ashikaga Shogunate Japan

18th century French Revolution

19th century Napoleonic War or Taiwan

20th Century summer of love(lol)

 

[Sn4ke_911]

THIS PLEASE!

 

[Impeccable]

I didn't think Ubisoft was ever going to run into the problem of running out of cool history to explore but they are getting there quick.

 

[dengatron]

if i could chop down a bunch of hippies in the "summer of love", count me in.

 

[Skeff]

Someone at ubisoft talked about Egypt a few weeks ago, and we know the next game is in development.

 

[Skyzard]

The link in the first reply is very nice, yep if he goes to China or Japan, I will resume the series (jumping from 1).

-also need to have improved gameplay considerably since 1, don't want a re-skin, I've accepted the story as filler already

 

[Gaz_RB]

THIS PLEASE!

That art is awesome. I think it is about time for an Eastern AC

 

[Dibbz]

They need to slow the fuck down

 

[tryagainlater]

Forrest Gumping it in Revolutionary France could be pretty entertaining.

 

[John Harker]

this amuses me for multiple reasons.

edit:

if you remember, Edward Kenway and being a pirate was also hinted at in Abstergo emails in AC3.

 

[baxter2231]

egypt sounds cool and then japan, the rest meh and the last one sounds like watch dogs.

 

[RaikuHebi]

They need to slow the fuck down

This is the best future setting.

 

[DodgerSan]

I always thought Victorian London (Circa Jack the Ripper) would be amazing. So much intrigue you could tie in.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

It'll be whichever is closest in architecture to the last AC game.
#lazydevelopers

 

[Elios83]

Egypt, Japan and French Revolution are all great for me.
But the next game needs to be conceived for next gen consoles :/

 

[leroidys]

Holy shit 19th century Taiwan would be so amazing, I never even thought of that.

 

[Ominym]

Egypt seems like it'd be a bit too similar to what we've seen before. A Japanese or Chinese setting would be interesting and certainly a change of pace.

 

[Lakitu]

I'd love Japan. That'd be fantastic but only if they went back to the drawing board. Release a true-next gen version in 2 to 3 years. Won't happen though :/

 

[Dead]

Summer of Love baby

Hippie assassin flower power with copious amounts of psychadelics!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Egypt seems like it'd be a bit too similar to what we've seen before. A Japanese or Chinese setting would be interesting and certainly a change of pace.

Therefore it will be Egypt.
They can just fill it with the same NPCs and shit. Easy money.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

give me nobunaga with evil powers final boss

 

[AlphaK]

While those settings sound really cool, the main problem with the series right now is that the core gameplay/mechanics have become stale.

They need to take a couple of years off(and hey you have Watch_Dogs there to take it's place for a while!) and shake a lot of things up.

 

[Snaku]

How about South Africa during Apartheid?

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

egypt sounds cool and then japan, the rest meh and the last one sounds like watch dogs.

what about a watch dogs crossover

 

[tensuke]

20th century summer of love? Summer lovin, had me a blast. Summer lovin, happened so fast. I met a girl, crazy for me. I met a boy, killed the templars.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Summer of Love baby

Hippie assassin flower power with copious amounts of psychadelics!

Wouldn't that be pretty much like JFK-assassination stuff? Granted it was a few years earlier...

 

[UnluckyKate]

19th century Tawai would kill the Whore of the Orient. Westerners would be the bad guys. Boxter revolutions and opium wars. Could be amazing really.

Feudal japan is too clichee after Pirates. Ninja and samurais... yay... At least give us Three Kingdoms China.

Egypt would be cool but a bit close to the Original AC ? Could work wonders too.

Summer of love of please...

French revolution could worked. I was pumped for this but after the road they took for Liberation and AC3 I'm not that excited about the time period.

 

[Pryce]

14th century Ashikaga Shogunate Japan

gimmie gimmie.

 

[Prelude.]

14th century Ashikaga Shogunate Japan

Fuck. This. Do it.

 

[kazebyaka]

Egypt, please.

 

[illmatic22]

20th century summer of love? Summer lovin, had me a blast. Summer lovin, happened so fast. I met a girl, crazy for me. I met a boy, killed the templars.

Tell me more Tell more did he put up a fight???

 

[stormplyr]

Maybe a tribal India around the time Alexander the Great is making his push into India. They had war elephants at the time. IDK, maybe it would be cool. lol

 

[Frostinferno]

We really do need a Chinese or Japanese setting.

 

[Weng]

Weimar Republic

 

[Ogimachi]

Egypt and French Revolution would suck IMO.

They need to slow the fuck down

Yes, especially after the piece of shit that was AC3.

 

[kazebyaka]

Egypt and French Revolution would suck IMO.

Yes, especially after the piece of shit that was AC3.

AC3 was so shitty that it sold 12 million copies and was loved by the fans all around the world. Stop with the hate already, it's been a year.

 

[Santiako]

All of them sound better than the utterly boring setting that was in AC3.

 

[ChiliManiac]

All of these honestly sound fascinating.

 

[Captain Star]

Why not develop original games in those settings instead of painting over the same stale Assassin's Creed formula every year?

 

[twobear]

French Revolution would be amazing, as long as they don't make the same mistake as AC3 and just have the assassin help out with historic events 'behind the scenes'. Make his or her storyline truly weave around the events without him or her being directly involved.

So, say, you have to enter the Bastille to rescue a fellow assassin or ally during the storming of the Bastille, but you're not actually responsible for it.

Just perfect

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Looks like that Prince of Persia game assets will be eventually used for Egypt AC.

 

[Ceebs]

Shocked they did not go straight to French Revolution since they could have just jumped straight to Napoleon for the next one for asset reuse and the same main character.

 

[Nirolak]

this amuses me for multiple reasons.

edit:

if you remember, Edward Kenway and being a pirate was also hinted at in Abstergo emails in AC3.

I'm thinking the first next-gen title would be the French Revolution given, you know, Ubisoft, so I'm guessing Egypt if the next one is cross-gen or France if the next one is next-gen only.

 

[Dysun]

13th century Egypt.

14th century Ashikaga Shogunate Japan

Yes please

 

[Doffen]

14th century Ashikaga Shogunate Japan or 20th Century summer of love!!

Spoiler

summer of love

 

[Zukuu]

you can bet your ass it'll be french revolution.

 

[infiniteheteroskdasticity]

.

I think you're right. I'd imagine Ubisoft wants to give France its best effort which would mean a next gen only game which likely wont be feasible till 2015. Next year will probably see Egypt as you say. Another, better possibility is the raj era India setting from their last comic. That would be fantastic.

 

[GetemMa]

Feudal Japan seems like a no brainer.

Ninja's, Samurai's, I mean the gameplay mechanics just write themselves and it would be so much fun.

I once heard Ubisoft call this setting "too obvious"

I think that means it would be too god damn cool so we can't possibly do it, Uplay is awesome though right?

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Japan, please.
