I mean yeah, they could come up with some excuse haha.
I honestly think Ancient Greece would be their next location.
It's a somewhat popular setting and they have so much mythology to draw from

Sure, but I think they should move more east. We have seen so many western titles in the series already.
Doubt the excuse even would be that difficult as they have pulled some "fast ones" in the past already. =P
I honestly wouldn't care much if it "makes sense" and "looks logical", especially if the art and the game is good.
I know it would require a fair deal of reworking when it comes to the core gameplay, but I've always wanted an Assaains Creed set during the Russian revolution.
I mean, does anyone care about the modern day / animus stuff?
They should just stay in historical settings. Would have been much better
Given how much they love the whole sailing thing, a Vikings setting seems most likely.
Personally I'd love any Asian setting whatsoever located to the east of Arabia, be it Iran, India, China, Japan, SE Asia, you name it.

I would care if they had two worlds on top of each other and you influence them both ways or at least one way. This would open up so much design space for them to go crazy with everything.
Some influences shouldn't be that obvious, others faster, others slower, etc. . Just opens up so much.
They could make the world smaller while adding a few different "timelines" due to important events changing.
I want a legit mainline AC game set in China, starring Shao Jun. I know she had that 2D spinoff game but she deserves better. I would also like a Feudal Japan game, like everyone else.
I think the three 2D ones could have been settings for full games. Russia maybe less, but China and India would've been cool. As to something new? Maybe something in Spain (don't think of the movie)
Hope Ubisoft gets the hint :)
Sorry in advance for the long post.
For popular locations, feudal Japan or Greece, probably. Otherwise, then something like Mesopotamia.
Mesopotamian ruins right now look incredibly drab color-wise (like most other ruins anyway), but back then some were stunning, like the Ishtar Gate:
Those strong blues and yellows could look stunning.

I'd love to see Renaissance Italy revisited with current technology, but I know that's never going to happen.
Feudal Japan makes so much sense. You have Jesuits, which could easily be Templars infiltrating Japan for the relics and creating instability, and the Hattori Clan being all Shinobi / Assassins trying to orchestrate / stop them from the shadows.
This sounds uber cheesy, but there's lots of wiggle room to insert the Templars / Assassin's feud into so many of the conflicts throughout feudal Japan, it almost writes itself.

seeing as even the ancient egypt wasnt enough to make the series exciting for me again, id like to see them really shake things up.
like a cold war era, pulpy spy asscreed would be interesting.

There was a rumor that Ubisoft's plan is to make a trilogy starting with Origins,
So yeah, doubt there will be a Feudal Japan Assassins Creed
set in Ancient greece and Ancient Rome
Portuguese Golden Age, maybe leading up to the earthquake in Lisbon (which is allready part of the AC lore in, I think, Rogue?).Would love a story about an Empire and it's colonies, where you are a explorer between those lands). MIght be a touchy subject though, and it's pretty close to what the Kenway-trilogy did.
It's been said a million times, but...Japan. Obviously. And I wouldn't even put it during the Edo period. Assassin's Creed games have always benefited from a war/strife setting, so something like the Meiji revolution would be PERFECT. Plenty of recognizable historical figures + an already present cabal of stealth and assassination experts in ninjas = ASSASSIN'S CREED.
So, like, why not?

These two or WW2 for sure. Not a big AC guy, but any of these would definitely make me buy the game at some point, day one maybe even.
Russia 1905-1917
sadly was already delegated to spinoffs and comics. So many amazing characters and events they could use, Rasputin as a classic villain who would have access to Eden artifacts. I always thought Russia would be a great setting after Unity because of all the assets they could reuse for that. They went west and chose London for that.
I could see something close to the Egypt setting if they want to reuse assets for future projects. Not sure if AC is still on a development-cycle.

The Egyptian setting is very attractive to me but sadly the game is moving further away from what I want in a game about assassinations.
Ignoring this major hangup, I'd take anything African or Asian (Far East). I feel we've been dealing with Western civilization for a long time now so Origina is definitely a breath of fresh air and I hope they stay this course.

Japan makes too much sense and should have been made long ago.
China would be cool aswell. Give Shao Jun a full game damn it.
