Now that AC Origins is out, what setting would you like to see next on the franchise?

[hijukal]

Japan is suggested all the time, I'm sure it'd be great (I've probably suggested it more than once too!) and all but there are probably already enough games set in that era.

I'd like to see the Khmer empire in the 1100s at the height of its power. Or possibly somewhere in South America - I'm sure they could shoehorn Nazca Lines in there somewhere. Or if you wanted more recent history, Hong Kong and the Kowloon Walled City, but I'm not sure it'd be a good fit.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Japan as a million people have already suggested. It's probably the only setting that could pull me back into the series

 

[Datajoy]

Late Qing-era China .. Chinese assassins vs. western imperial templars.

 

[JetAlone]

I have bored this saga a long time ago, but an AC in China or Japan would be awesome

 

[Flarin]

Feudal Japan. Just do it already. It's what we all want. Or Black Flag 2 :)

 

[Yam's]

Japan would offer beautiful vistas, but we have already seen so many games/anime/movies covering the different eras they would take that I'd rather get something else.

China during Mongol invasion or Three Kingdoms would be nice.

 

[skintBeastwood]

Some ninja action in a Japan setting would be amazing, I would buy that game.
China and the Viking era would interest me too.

 

[SirBaron]

Ancient Japan would be my choice.

Yes, Japan is obviously where it needs to go. Imagine sneaking around and stealth killing with shurikens and katanas ninja style. Maybe they could do a hybrid ninja/assassins creed outfit .. I'm very bad at history, did samurais and ninjas exist in the same time period?

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Ancient Greece, but I don't think it would be very interesting unless they took some major artistic liberties.

I'm basically imagining the big city from Disney's Hercules. That shit was magnificent.

 

[shimon]

There was a rumor that Ubisoft's plan is to make a trilogy starting with Origins,

Spoiler: Locations for the sequels

set in Ancient greece and Ancient Rome

So yeah, doubt there will be a Feudal Japan Assassins Creed

Click to shrink...

Booooo :(

 

[WaqarYounis]

Japan for sure. Either that or ancient China.

 

[Slayerx]

I'm really not sure as I was excited for origin because of the setting and at the moment the game isn't really clicking with me.

They need to make sure if they pick say Japan they really delve into the history and build the lore around it.

 

[TheBeardedOne]

We haven't been to Ancient Rome yet, have we? That.

 

[Deleted member 12635]

There is China, there is ancient Rome, there is ancient Greece and there is the future where they can get creative.

A more modern setup with South Africa and Apartheit could be a good fit too. Russia is another possibility (Tsar).

 

[rhandino]

Oh no....why would you ever want that...?

文化大革命 (Cultural Revolution, aka Communist Revolution) is the darkest period of Chinese history, millions of people died and suffered during that time, students torture their teachers, murder their parents, all in the name of Mao, it was literally hell.

Click to shrink...

I mean, we got a game during the French Revolution so...

I think i thought about it because it was a time of massive changes for China and we also know that Assassins and Templars had their hand all over that conflict. (Hinted in the puzzles of Subject 16 and in one of the new comics.)

 

[Deleted member 2109]

Ancient Rome. It's the setting I've wanted since forever.

 

[quesalupa]

I'd like to see Japan but then again I kind of have the whole game and story for that setting planned out so hit me up Ubi if you want a creative director.

 

[Falchion]

Came in to say Japan but a viking one as outlined by OP would be pretty fantastic and I'm an absolute sucker for winter settings.

 

[Galava]

China/Japan

We need an oriental setting for AC next, for some variety. After that we could go back to the Roman Empire vs Vikings setting.

 

[TheZynster]

With how well origins was done.....they can tackle japan or China with this current setup and engine.


It's unbelievable how big of a turn around origins is......it's fantastic

 

[Lackless]

King Arthur times with fully suited knights.

 

[SxP]

I'd like (feudal) Japan to be done by a Japanese developer, so I'd say Ancient Rome, or South America for something we haven't ever seen yet.

 

[VicariousVagabond]

Would be a political nightmare and it might be too close to the present day, but maybe something involving the Japanese occupation of Korea and the Russo-Japanese war.

 

[Kage]

I'd really like to see them do Japan. Don't think its been mentioned yet :p

 

[Segafreak]

Definitely not Japan and samurai, such a generic and boring setting.

-Amsterdam during the golden age
-St Petersburg during the revolution

 

[LoneWanderer]

Rome it would be cool

 

[Deleted member 11093]

Japan or China.


Edit: Vikings would be neat too.

 

[Sexy Fish]

Give me some South America. Mayan, Incan, Olmec, or Aztec civilizations.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Time to stop beating around the bush and give the people what we want and that is China or Japan.

 

[est1992]

Future.... just want something totally different from the series at this point.

Click to shrink...

Didn't think of this...that actually sounds really cool.

And for those, like me, saying Japan, I think AC needs to get a bit more fluid to really capture that ninja feel. Ninjas move fast, and are more agile than what we've been able to do so far in AC. They also gotta be less bulky. You can't scale buildings with a hundred weapons on your back. It looks weird.

 

[medyej]

Three Kingdoms China

Click to shrink...

This! It's time. That era is so unexplored in gaming.

 

[BraXzy]

Samurai or ninja, that's all I ask.

 

[Varixio]

My vote is for China or Japan, that would be VERY interesting. On the other hand as some posters have said, South America would be a great choice as well.

 

[Galkinator]

Yeah at this point nothing much left to cover except the asian culture, and honestly it's a lot more interesting for me than middle eastern. (I live in the middle east)

 

[魑魅魍魎]

India or the Mayan empire.

 

[Lashley]

Wild west

 

[HiLife]

If not Japan or India, cyberpunk AC would be dope.

 

[The Ethereal One]

People are saying Japan, but that location has been mined enough already I feel. It wouldn't feel fresh.

Aztec, Mayan, Viking eras are good choices. I would also be down with Zulu-era South Africa.

 

[Alienous]

Feudal Japan would be great, but not so soon after Origins. They should keep that in their back-pocket for the next mid-series refresh.

I like the sound of India though, even if Chronicles ventured there.

 

[Bloodergo]

Feudal Japan or Russian Revolution.

 

[Nestunt]

Either Samurai or Pirates (single player)

 

[Astrologer]

Would like to see an Indian setting.

 

[Mugen X]

I feel like we get one of these threads everytime a new AC is released, but, hey, It's really nice to speculate and dream about a next AC setting tho, there's so much potential!

Here's mine:

A Vikings setting, starring a female viking lead, I wouldn't mind if they just ripped off Lagertha from Vikings:

Also, double down on the RPG elements, put seasons on the game, and make winter very unforgiving, with some survival-lite elements, scavenging and etc and a optional survival/hardcore mode as well.

What about you, guys?

Click to shrink...

I would love to play your AC game, the emphasis on survival during a relentless winter season sounds awesome!

For me personally I just want a setting in feudal Japan, you could be a member of a ninja clan and I'd love RPG elements as well as an amazing combat system based around ninjutsu. You strategize assassination missions before executing, and you and maybe 4-5 other clan members carry out the mission. Customizable armor and weapons, a large map that encourages exploration with secrets and valuable armor and weapons to be found. Oh ya, let me climb anything!

 

[koutoru]

Besides Japan, I'd like to see their take on an early 20th century AC (WW1/1920s).

 

[Carpathia]

I don't think they are going to do Japan so Vikings sounds great.

 

[DammitLloyd]

Assassin's and ninja's go hand in hand.

Japan

 

[Moon Parade]

Japan. Forever and always.

Mainly because it's so removed from what they've done already, and the series has already been over-saturated with Western-centric settings. Though, I think they're well aware, and a huge part of 'Origins' appeal lies in the variety an Egyptian setting provides.

I would also suggest some of the other settings that they've already visited in the spin-offs (China, Russia, etc).

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Oh no....why would you ever want that...?

文化大革命 (Cultural Revolution, aka Communist Revolution) is the darkest period of Chinese history, millions of people died and suffered during that time, students torture their teachers, murder their parents, all in the name of Mao, it was literally hell.

Click to shrink...

It's actually been represented in the series before in the comics. Assassin's Creed Templars, to be exact. It's an interesting setting.

Even though it wouldn't be possible for lore reasons (only being able to go backwards *sigh*) i would love a futuristic setting.

Otherwise, Ancient Greece or Japan.

Click to shrink...

I mean if you want futuristic all they have to do is go so back in time they go to the first civilization/isu era. Probably playing as Eve finally.

I mean, does anyone care about the modern day / animus stuff?

They should just stay in historical settings. Would have been much better

Click to shrink...

Lot's of people like modern day stuff. It's part of the series' identity and never going away.

the fact that this series still hasn't touched japan baffles me..you would think it would be the perfect setting..way more than industrial era London at least

Click to shrink...

I mean they've touched feudal Japan a bit in Assassin's Creed Memories, with Hanzo pursuing Nobunaga and stuff.

 

[Seijuro]

My best guess is that whatever Ubisoft studio will make the next planned AC will work closely with the For Honor team as there are a shitload of assets they can use for a Japan or Viking setting.

I myself would like either a Viking setting, or something along the lines of South America, either way some location that is not too heavily covered with games already. The big draw in AC IMO was always the exotic locations, like Renaissance Italy, Constantinople, the carribbean etc.
