However, he becomes disillusioned with the Templar way, instead joining the Assassins as an inside man, working alongside Cromwell to take out the monarchy. Features heavy political intrigue and the sudden switching of sides. WW1: We play as Natalia Tolstaya, a Russian woman of the working class who got recruited by Vladimir Lenin (neutral in wider conflict) after he recognised her potential. After assisting with the Russian Revolution, Natalia learned of the Brotherhood from an ally she encountered along the way. She proceeded to join them, heading to German occupied France, Indian regiments, a brief stint in Egypt and finally back to Russia after the war, where she is involved with Lenin's death, and inadvertently the appointment of Stalin. Spanish Inquisition: We play as Lucia de Trueva in 1500s Spain. She is a Catholic who lost her brother (an assassin) to the Templar controlled Spanish Inquisition, and the influenced Monarchy and nobility. Lucia discovers the assassins in hiding have no plans to avenge her fathers death, so she goes rogue from them and takes action to do it herself. WW2: Unique experience. We play as three different characters. Justine Chabert, a French barmaid who now acts as a freedom fighter in German-occupied France for the assassins (focusing on the parkour, aggressive and brutal assassination aspect). Silvestro Cicchino, a high-ranking Templar figure within the Italian government, who is secretly an assassin spy (focusing on infiltrations and stealthy assassinations). Hamish MacCulloch, a retired Scottish assassin who is now a drunk street thug, although is the secret "spy-hunter" of Britain, looking for German agents within Parliament and the military (focusing on the information gathering, allocating recourses and working out who you can trust).

So I'm a Pacific Islander, and I would really love to have a AC in the islands! so my thoughts are to have it during the times of Captain James Cook a Templar (1768-1979) he made 3 voyages to Australia, NZ, Tonga, Samoan, etc. To find an apple of eden and a DLC could be 100 years later of a descendant of the Assassin of Capt. Cooks time taken kidnapped thru Blackbirding and forced to rebel of the slavery then!
I thought I'd heard, or maybe I imagined, that they were seriously looking at the NZ wars. A Māori warrior would be absolutely perfect. The protagonist could use a patu (greenstone or jade edged club) as well as a taiaha (staff/spear), a NZ rainforest setting with fortified villages (Pā) and frontier towns of the 19th century. Māori were the first to use trench warfare. Could use a Haast eagle, the largest that has ever existed. But the developers would have an absolute nightmare getting approval to use māori motifs and culture. And I love your idea of Captain Cook.
Some more for u - Arthurian times, with an emphasis on Knights. Seeing as we've already had England and Ireland, and Scotland would work for s Celtic game, this one should take us to Wales. You're protagonist is a young Knight sent by his Farher (who's in the Order of the Ancients) to serve Arthur, however he switches sides to the hidden ones. Key characters would include Arthur and his Knights of the round table as well as Merlin, who could have Isu connections and Mordred as the main villain. 1st DLC would feature the immortal Black Knight who's using Isu armor, second DLC is a prequel, focusing on the protagonists father, how he became a Knight during the reign of Vortigern and feature the Welsh and Saxon Dragons. - Samoan island, just a really cool culture and I think travelling throughout the islands sounds fun. - Ancient Mesopotamia, the golden age of Babylon and the birthplace of civilisation. Gilgamesh and Enkidu are key characters.
Hell yes to the 1st idea! You should read the Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell (also writes the last Kingdom series) - it’s basically exactly as you’ve described, following a character called Derfel, who is like Arthur’s right hand man. Lancelot, Merlin, Guinevere etc are all in it. Why didn’t I think of that!
I definitely think the Spanish/Portuguese conquistadors arrival in South America would be an incredible setting for AC, we could be sent with the conquerors to hunt a piece of Eden then change sides and help the natives, I would say play as a native but that’s very close to the story of AC3 so I think being an Assassin or Templar sent to this new continent has more potential The US Civil War would be interesting but I think the Prohibition era has a lot more potential! New Orleans, New York and Chicago could be the main cities with maybe a side mission or finale in LA/Hollywood, there’s so much violence and desperation in these times with the Wall Street crash etc I think this would be fascinating I would love to see the war of the roses as the first in a trilogy in England, a sequel in Elizabeth’s era and the ending around the civil war, about 200 years of history might seem odd for a trilogy but if they revolved around several families and their descendants maybe with a piece of Eden too that could be incredible to see, the story could really build up the dynamics between these families so maybe they’re on opposite sides in roses but work together under Elizabeth then against each other again in civil there is a lot of potential here
ive said this across many different comment sections talking about this topic but Fall of the Western Roman Empire would be a perfect time period. 1. Location: The city of Rome itself would be a thing to behold since it would have been in decay but before its ultimate destruction. Many of the temples and such would have been active if some gold stripped and such. From there you could see an immediate change into the countryside in say Gaul where the Germanic migrants would have been forced to live in appalling conditions which ill get too in a minute. 2. Story Potential: If you'd place a game at the time of Honorius (so think total war attila) You would see the mentioned Germanic migrants starved and exploited by corrupt roman officials. Which is perfect potential for villians and an elaborate organization from the shadows. This organization could also be behind a lot of the bloat and corruption in the WRE itself so itd have broad effects and mean a broad story like AC II. Beside that you could also use the invasion of Attila as a sort of midgame shakeup where you have to side with the corrupt Romans to prevent the Hidden Ones and Order from both falling. (spoilers) Cooperations like with Connor and Haytham was loved and brought about a lot of interesting points between the two sides then so why not here? From Attila and into a late game you could explore how the Hidden Ones collapsed in Europe as was a focus in Valhalla. It would be interesting to see an Established Hidden Ones system in Rome go much in the same way as the Empire. Powerful, Shaken, then Fallen and to explore an assassin throughout it all from a teen to an old man would be amazing. 3. Gameplay: of course have it natural but it would also be a really good outlet to dispel myths about Late Rome. The Late Roman army was very skilled and powerful but suffered from a lot of factors from the inside and outside. I think it would also be a fun way of using conquest battles in Odyssey for a better and more plot focused manner in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains but massive and terrifying. What do you guys think? It will probably never happen but it would make for some great story potential :)
Love it!!! I’ve seen a few people mention the Roman Empire now and I’m gutted I didn’t think or include it. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and share dude 🤙
I just… I just really want a sequel for Connor. He deserves a trilogy. His ending in the game is just so… meaningless. He fought so hard for freedom, and for the rights of his people and for all men and women. Only to, once the British are scared off, see the slave trade happening right before his eyes. And then his people are gone. They’ve moved on. I understand there are various opinions and views on this, and it’s subjective to everyone, but I feel the ending of ACIII just made everything we playing as Connor fought for, nothing. I understand, that’s how history happens and works - we all know what happened obviously. But when presented in the format it was, it just felt so disheartening and demeaning. But yeah the American Civil War would also be freakin BALLER. I also think 1692 Salem Massachusetts during the witch trials would be amazing too. Think about it - templars posing as religious leaders, burning people at the stake claiming them witches when in reality they’re searching for an Isu sage. OR OR, it’s religious figures led by Basim/Loki (after his mirage game to really give you conflicting feelings) hunting down the reincarnation of Odin just to brutalize him. Or you know whatever alternate AC history you could think of
100% Connor deserves a second game, Bayek too. I actually saw the Crucible on stage recently which is set in 1692 during the trials. That would be such a great period, really dark and eery. Good ideas dude.
My only problem with the prohibition idea is that the US is such a large country and many of the interesting characters are in completely different areas. Bonnie and Clyde were in the South, Capone was in Chicago and Luciano was New York. A DLC might work, but the main game would most likely have to be in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The two I like most would be working as an assassin apart of the French resistance in WW2 or an abolitionist during the civil war. COD WW2 had a mission where u we’re doing espionage for the French resistance and it felt pretty similar to an AC game in way so they could take inspiration from that and as for the civil war theme they can look at the story of John brown and take inspiration from that.
my favourite setting would be during the Irish war of independence the Irish civil war or the 1916 eastern rising I think with are mc being a member of the IRA which could be a cover for the Irish assassins order would be good and we see a more cold hearted and violent assassin would be good and some missions could be like bloody Sunday and the assassination of Michael Collins
Just to have any assassins creed game in the early 20th century would be amazing, I really do think they’ll try it one day. I don’t know much about Irish history but it sounds like a recipe for a great AC game!
Mentioning the War of the Roses actually made me think about what an AC story set during the Hundred Years' War would look like. Two major powers going at it, and two different assassin groups working behind the scenes. Would there be a "clearly right" side, or would the two branches be at odds? It'd be interesting if your assignment was to take out other assassins that support the "wrong" side. It'd probably have to wait for the final game in the series, but playing through the time when the Forerunners (or whatever they're called, I'm drawing a blank right now) were in control. See what was going on then, maybe even play as humans trying to escape the Forerunner's control.
I massively considered including The Hundred Years War! You should read a series of books by Bernard Cornwell called The Grail Quest, set within the Hundred Years War from the perspective of an English Longbow Archer, it's amazing! Not sure what you mean by Forerunners though?
@@IronsideGeorge sorry, I meant the Isu. Someone in the early games described them as "humanity's forerunners" or something like that, and my Halo brain latched onto that name lol
I even typed it Forerunners and saw Halo pop up 😛 It would be nuts to have an AC game set during the Isu… no idea how it would work though. To be honest i just prefer the historical settings over the animus and Isu race but we are where we are 🤷♂️
I would love an ac game during the Roman Empire. I know origins was but I’m talking about one set in Italy with a Roman assassin. There could be a mission where you assassinate Caligula or Tiberius or even Nero. Would be really fun!
As much as I'd like to see an AC game set during Trojan War, it's probably impossible and there are 2 reasons : 1. What worked in 3 hours movie wouldn't probably work in 30+ hours game, there is too few things to do on such a small territory, gameplay would sometimes just be sitting in camp or city and doing nothing or doing just waves of unsuccessful attacks 2. I doubt there will ever be AC game set before Odyssey, because Odyssey is set during lifetime of the first user of hidden blade and I don't think anyone ideologically close to assassins/hidden ones would exist before that (excluding humans from Isu times 75 000 years ago), also the order of ancients was founded barely 100 years before Trojan War, so they are still not that influential to wage wars My favourite one is definitely Aztecs, we already have AC Project Legacy that touches on that subject, but I think Ubisoft can use this time period for a mainline game I, as a Pole, would also add Polish Golden Age (16th/17th century) in that list, because Poland was one of the most powerful countries in Europe and we fought endless wars with Swedes, Russians, Cossacks and Ottomans during that time period, so it could be a nice setting
I would love to see an AC game set in the Wild West. My idea is that you play as a young assassin who moves to Nevada with their to help their father expand his business as a lawyer. However, you eventually cross paths with the Assassin’s and find out that the Templars have created a pact with both the United States government and the outlaws of the west in the hopes of gaining influence with either manifest destiny or with fear tactics of the criminal underworld. It is up to you, the brotherhood, and the Native American tribes to put a stop to both of them and become both a legendary assassin and bounty hunter, as well as trying to take away a piece of Eden in possession by the Templars in the form of the Golden Plates and Seer Stones once possessed by Templar Joseph Smith. The game can feature figures such as Billy the Kid, Buffalo Bill, L Frank Baum, Crazy Horse, and PT Barnum; and would place a heavy focus on natural landmarks to climb on like the Grand Canyon and Arches National Park rather then man-made landmarks (similar to what 3 did).
Love it, would it be a very gun focused AC game though? I feel like it would have to be. (I wouldn’t mind them going in they direction though - you could also have missions where hon have to not alert anyone or only have your hidden blade too)
@@IronsideGeorge I’d imagine it would be similar to the gun mechanics in Syndicate, since that game is set around the same time period as the Wild West. Also, this would be set prior to the invention of automatic weapons, so there wouldn’t be any hand-held machine guns or anything; also there could be a mechanic where if you stay behind cover for too long that an enemy will come up to you and attack you with melee weapons instead of guns. One final thing is that they could use historical accuracy to it’s advantage since the Wild West wasn’t as violent as most media portrays it (heck, side arms were even banned in some areas).
Uhm...I'm a fan of parkour in AC Creed, so I need a city. Obviously missing from your list? Ancient Rome itself. We're going for the jugular here. There's a lot of history there with a whole Empire and many interesting characters. An ambitious project though...If we return to France (which is Ubisoft's domain after all) I want a Musketeers story and a Hero in the Ðartagnan (main protagonist of Alexandre Dumas's books) style at the apogee of Cardinal De Richelieu's political influence and scheming plans. Now, that would be insanely great. I was also teased by the Dark Ages/Middle Ages snipets we got. I wanted more Templars in AC1 and teased again in Unity with Jacques DeMolay. A full-on Crusade Epic story? Oooo!
Yo - I would expect all of my suggestions to have cities in them! The Trojan War would obviously focus around Troy, but WW1 ideally Berlin, America during prohibition either New York or Chicago, the rest hopefully would span lots of cities! Love the Roman Empire suggestion! Love the Musketeers suggestion! Love the Crusade Suggestion! You’re going to make me want to make a second video about this 😛
If Rome I would actually go with the Roman Republic during the Punic Wars. The main focus of the game would be Sicily, but you can also go to Rome and Carthage.
For me it’s: A game on The Book of Joshua, LITERALLY the dude defeated 31 kingdoms AND went to war ALOT. A stand alone Mongolian game, LITERALLY the MOST successful Empire of that time. A WWI video game 🎮 WOULD be pretty cool. A Great Depression game, one with Gangsters like Babyface Nelson, etc.
For me a good AC game would be somthing that's played between the 800-900s, in Hungary, as that time they were wandering in into Europe, and our character could be part of the Hungarians, or the one defending the locals from them, either way in my opinion the game would be great with big meadows, some forests, smaller villages and potencially bigger castles.
Coming from Belgium, I think an AC game in the Congo under Belgian King Leopold II period, or just before when they start arriving, would be cool to see. A whole different environment that could possibly be well implemented
For me this idea may take like another 10 years to compete 😂. But I would like to see more time periods where free will is good like an assassin taking out colonizers in Africa and asia in the 1900s, scramble for Africa and stuff. However they make another game that shows the Templar side like let’s say templars are Soviet Russia and you on there side and it shows the player how the assassins free Will idea contradicts what they do because you know all these cia operations from the US and stuff. But before all this, we did a WW1 and WW2, and ancient Japan or Japan during the Meiji restoration. All in all, it would be cool if they kept finding events in history that shows where free will is right, while other events in history show that the idea of free will contradicts itself because they using order for free will to make peace. And then one day they manage to find a balance in modern day or something like that. But a perfect assassins creed would be mansa musa rule of Mali in the 1200s. That would be a great one because he got all that money and gotta decide between free will or order and peace because assassins and templars would be swaying him.
Haha thanks for taking the time to comment my guy. I get what you’re saying! Ultimately an AC game that focuses more on someone genuinely stopping bad people rather than Templars/pieces of Eden?That sort of thing? 😛 Just think, they’ve made 10 games and loads of spin offs in like 15 years, just think what we’ll have in another 15 years!
@@IronsideGeorgeYeah your right maybe they just wrap up the modern day in like some of the time periods you listed in the video. I just hope if they ever go into like the 1920s or WW1 they get it right. Like they gotta have a balance between the guns and your H2H combat. But yeah would be cool. Thank you for replying!
Precisely why I think WW1 would work better over WW2, but obviously the Nazi's didn't come into play in WW2... I think single shot guns could work ok but anything other than that would be too much. I'll always reply, thanks for watching!
This is gonna be a bit of a unique take, but Im suprised nobody really mentions an AC game taking place in the 1960's, 70's or even the 1980's. Or a game taking place between all three decades, the height of consumerism and the cold war would also make a really interesting setting.
Just a small thing I wanted to say. U Said that you would like to haunt some Nazis during wwI. But in wwI there weren't any nazis, they came in round 2. But aside of that i'm fully with you, amazing idea
Yo dude, about 30 seconds later I do say, technically we didn’t fight the Nazis in the WW1 - perhaps I should have led with that 😛 appreciate the support!
@bimunschxldig241 😂 fair play - the only reason I pick ww1 over 2 is because of automatic weapons being a little less used, but I’d be very happy with either one! It’ll happen one day I have no doubt.
We don't need any games before Odyssey getting tired of games not having Templars or Assassins in it. Also, we already played as a former slave in Freedom cry
@@IronsideGeorge I think that Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe is set during the Bamberg witch trials, the Würzburg witch trials. At the same time, Germany was still continuing the Thirty Years' War.
Why would you first kill the Austro Hungarian crown prince by the hands of the tampelars, then take out German imperial leaders. By that definition Templars are fighting for the allies and the assassins for the allies to
I think you missed the part where I say you take out Franz, realise your mistake and switch sides, then take out German Leaders. A bit like AC Rogue but the other way round!
Haha I swear everyone is missing my comment at 1:14 where I say the Nazis didn’t exist in WW1 😂 I should have led with it! Really hope we do get a WW1/2 Ac game, it could be so amazing!
WW1 is WAY too recent for me. Honestly, anything in the 18th and 19th centuries are too recent, as well. I'm one of the few AC fans that don't love Black Flag for that reason.
@@IronsideGeorge I just prefer older history, is all. Technically, I don't mind the occasional near-modern eras. It's just not something I wish for. With a few exceptions if someone makes a really cool case for a near-modern setting. Edit: One example of a near-modern setting I would actually like to see is Congo during the genocide carried out by King Leopold II. I suppose the reason I like this setting is because it's rather obscure. Everyone knows about the world wars or the American civil war. Not that many people knows about the Congo genocide.
I'll be honest, it's the first I've heard of it. Sounds like you know your stuff. Would be just twenty years after AC Syndicate was set too, which is currently our most modern.
Dude come on really. I understand that you are British but enough of the anglosaxon and american based games. Prohibition, wars of english crows, scottish wars, american civil war etc I mean come on. There are ton of more mediteranian/middle eastern/ far eastern civilizations, histories and characters more interesting and apealing than anglo saxon and american ones. AC 3 was boring as hell for me, AC Syndicate even worrse and I couldnt even finish Valhalla because of how annoying it is. Angosaxon/ American history is not for AC games.
What you're failing to realise is that Ubisoft have a core audience of United States, UK and Europe. Countries where Anglo Saxon history is taught (because it's our history), therefore it's relatable to those people because it's time periods and battles that we know/are taught about. So why wouldn't people want to play a game where they get to live in a reimagined version of our history? Having said that, AC started off with the Italian Renaissance, they have an Arabian setting, an Egyptian setting, a Greek setting and soon to be a Japanese/Samurai setting. So if you don't like one of the games that everyone else likes, go play one of the others. If you don't like those, AC isn't for you
@@deanfairley7209 I said in my first comment that I understand that. This is not about economy or profits of the company, not the financial standpoint. This is couple of game fans talking about where the next game should be. I like all the games you mentioned so the AC is for me. Just dont like these awfull anglosaxon/ american games that nobody likes, only you brits. I am not from greece or egypt( and I know their history unlike you who dont know the difference between thailand and africa). I am not from egypt or greece but I can aprecciate the beauty of their settings and history. So take a history book and learn something about other nations and countries, dont be the typical dumb a$$ american.
@@drmarcsloan You can't seem to decide whether I'm American or British. Are you okay? You seem very angry and bitter. What's going on in your life buddy? Here to talk if you need to get things off your chest
@@deanfairley7209 I am okay. Are u okay? Since you attached yourself to my comment and cant let go. You obviously have some unresolved issues. Do you need proffesional help if those mental problems of yours have kicked up? I can help you.
in a way ghost of tsushima IS what would it be like if ac did make a game in feudal japan. jin sakai used to be a samurai and his uncle always told him to face his battles directly with honour but due to the circumstances, he had to strike from the shadows thus earning the nickname ghost of tsushima. so while i think it would absolutely be Sick if we have an ac game set in feudal japan, i feel like it wouldnt have been as fresh as when ghost of tsushima came out.
Just to clarify folks - I’m very aware we didn’t fight Nazis in WW1, and do state that at 1:14 😂
Hi buddy
Serbian Assassin Gavrilo Princip is my dream character for AC
Yeah it didn’t make sense but it’s cool tho
I think it’s got to be a WW1 era game for me! Maybe the period with the bubonic plague would be interesting too!
Oooh the Black Death? Massive witch hunt period then as well, could set in anywhere in Europe. Love it!
I think that Southeast Asia (two Burmese-Siamese War (1765-1767), (1775-1776) and Taksin's reunification of Siam) is a good setting for AC games.
Like it - I also think the Anglo-Burmese Wars would be an amazing setting too; perhaps following a father and son Assassin family?
Good one
My Pitch for time periods and their assassins (some are similar to yours, most aren't):
English Civil War: We play as Lord William Sutton, a Templar attempting to manipulate the Monarchy and control how England's army will progress. However, he becomes disillusioned with the Templar way, instead joining the Assassins as an inside man, working alongside Cromwell to take out the monarchy. Features heavy political intrigue and the sudden switching of sides.
WW1: We play as Natalia Tolstaya, a Russian woman of the working class who got recruited by Vladimir Lenin (neutral in wider conflict) after he recognised her potential. After assisting with the Russian Revolution, Natalia learned of the Brotherhood from an ally she encountered along the way. She proceeded to join them, heading to German occupied France, Indian regiments, a brief stint in Egypt and finally back to Russia after the war, where she is involved with Lenin's death, and inadvertently the appointment of Stalin.

She is a Catholic who lost her brother (an assassin) to the Templar controlled Spanish Inquisition, and the influenced Monarchy and nobility. Lucia discovers the assassins in hiding have no plans to avenge her fathers death, so she goes rogue from them and takes action to do it herself.
WW2: Unique experience. We play as three different characters. Justine Chabert, a French barmaid who now acts as a freedom fighter in German-occupied France for the assassins (focusing on the parkour, aggressive and brutal assassination aspect). Silvestro Cicchino, a high-ranking Templar figure within the Italian government, who is secretly an assassin spy (focusing on infiltrations and stealthy assassinations). Hamish MacCulloch, a retired Scottish assassin who is now a drunk street thug, although is the secret "spy-hunter" of Britain, looking for German agents within Parliament and the military (focusing on the information gathering, allocating recourses and working out who you can trust). Each one has their own gameplay and missions, with how they well they do impacting on each other, as the Templars become more nervous. They all trade information between each other through radios and all have their own unique villains and stories.
American Civil War: We play as Phoebe Brannon, who has a weird psychic link with some kind in extra dimensional creature, which she calls Love, which teaches her to be an assassin. As the Civil War breaks out, Love guides Phoebe to support neither side, guiding her to stoke the fires of both sides so the hate destroys each other. This leads to Phoebe breaking away from the entity, supporting Lincoln and helping take down the South, although discovers Templars and Assassins hold influence on both sides.
Elizabethan England: We play as Sabir Quince, an orphaned Moroccan adopted into English custom by white parents as a worker within their fancy home. Upon discovering his employers were Templars who orchestrated his parents and communities death, he flees, joining Shakespeare as a stagehand whilst secretly training to be an assassin in a secret hideout underneath the Globe Theatre to prevent Templar spread.
Cold War: We play as Elliot Burton, a NYC police officer in training. However, life takes a turn when he is recruited into the Assassin order (then known as the CIA) to help preserve American culture within the Red Scare, a mask for Templars and Soviets to secretly enter American society. Elliot must learn the ways of the assassin to assist in defeating these invading forces, helping Presidents from Truman to Regan in a desperate attempt to help save the fate of the USA.

If King Arthur ever lived he would have lived during the fifth century or something like that, which far precedes the existance of knights.
YES
A WW1 or 2 Assassin’s Creed game would be 🤤
100% agreed! 🤙
We already KINDA got that in ac syndicate
Only very briefly! I want a whole game spanning different countries!
@@IronsideGeorge yeah I guess that would be pretty cool.
We can dream… 🤞
I definitely think the Spanish/Portuguese conquistadors arrival in South America would be an incredible setting for AC, we could be sent with the conquerors to hunt a piece of Eden then change sides and help the natives, I would say play as a native but that’s very close to the story of AC3 so I think being an Assassin or Templar sent to this new continent has more potential
The US Civil War would be interesting but I think the Prohibition era has a lot more potential! New Orleans, New York and Chicago could be the main cities with maybe a side mission or finale in LA/Hollywood, there’s so much violence and desperation in these times with the Wall Street crash etc I think this would be fascinating
I would love to see the war of the roses as the first in a trilogy in England, a sequel in Elizabeth’s era and the ending around the civil war, about 200 years of history might seem odd for a trilogy but if they revolved around several families and their descendants maybe with a piece of Eden too that could be incredible to see, the story could really build up the dynamics between these families so maybe they’re on opposite sides in roses but work together under Elizabeth then against each other again in civil there is a lot of potential here
Sooooo many ideas - I’m excited to see what Hexe is about too, looking very likely to be during the Witch Trials 🧙
ive said this across many different comment sections talking about this topic but Fall of the Western Roman Empire would be a perfect time period.
1. Location: The city of Rome itself would be a thing to behold since it would have been in decay but before its ultimate destruction. Many of the temples and such would have been active if some gold stripped and such. From there you could see an immediate change into the countryside in say Gaul where the Germanic migrants would have been forced to live in appalling conditions which ill get too in a minute.
2. Story Potential: If you'd place a game at the time of Honorius (so think total war attila) You would see the mentioned Germanic migrants starved and exploited by corrupt roman officials. Which is perfect potential for villians and an elaborate organization from the shadows. This organization could also be behind a lot of the bloat and corruption in the WRE itself so itd have broad effects and mean a broad story like AC II. Beside that you could also use the invasion of Attila as a sort of midgame shakeup where you have to side with the corrupt Romans to prevent the Hidden Ones and Order from both falling. (spoilers) Cooperations like with Connor and Haytham was loved and brought about a lot of interesting points between the two sides then so why not here? From Attila and into a late game you could explore how the Hidden Ones collapsed in Europe as was a focus in Valhalla. It would be interesting to see an Established Hidden Ones system in Rome go much in the same way as the Empire. Powerful, Shaken, then Fallen and to explore an assassin throughout it all from a teen to an old man would be amazing.
3. Gameplay: of course have it natural but it would also be a really good outlet to dispel myths about Late Rome. The Late Roman army was very skilled and powerful but suffered from a lot of factors from the inside and outside. I think it would also be a fun way of using conquest battles in Odyssey for a better and more plot focused manner in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains but massive and terrifying.
What do you guys think? It will probably never happen but it would make for some great story potential :)
Love it!!! I’ve seen a few people mention the Roman Empire now and I’m gutted I didn’t think or include it. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and share dude 🤙
I think that a game set in the future would be pretty cool imagine being an assassin and there being hover cars and everything
I just… I just really want a sequel for Connor. He deserves a trilogy. His ending in the game is just so… meaningless. He fought so hard for freedom, and for the rights of his people and for all men and women. Only to, once the British are scared off, see the slave trade happening right before his eyes. And then his people are gone. They’ve moved on. I understand there are various opinions and views on this, and it’s subjective to everyone, but I feel the ending of ACIII just made everything we playing as Connor fought for, nothing. I understand, that’s how history happens and works - we all know what happened obviously. But when presented in the format it was, it just felt so disheartening and demeaning.
But yeah the American Civil War would also be freakin BALLER. I also think 1692 Salem Massachusetts during the witch trials would be amazing too. Think about it - templars posing as religious leaders, burning people at the stake claiming them witches when in reality they’re searching for an Isu sage. OR OR, it’s religious figures led by Basim/Loki (after his mirage game to really give you conflicting feelings) hunting down the reincarnation of Odin just to brutalize him. Or you know whatever alternate AC history you could think of
100% Connor deserves a second game, Bayek too. I actually saw the Crucible on stage recently which is set in 1692 during the trials. That would be such a great period, really dark and eery. Good ideas dude.
We ABSOLUTELY NEED Assasins Creed set in the Aztec Empire
My only problem with the prohibition idea is that the US is such a large country and many of the interesting characters are in completely different areas. Bonnie and Clyde were in the South, Capone was in Chicago and Luciano was New York. A DLC might work, but the main game would most likely have to be in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The two I like most would be working as an assassin apart of the French resistance in WW2 or an abolitionist during the civil war. COD WW2 had a mission where u we’re doing espionage for the French resistance and it felt pretty similar to an AC game in way so they could take inspiration from that and as for the civil war theme they can look at the story of John brown and take inspiration from that.
If they don’t make a WW1/WW2 Assassins Creed game in the next ten years I’ll eat my shoes. Everyone wants one!
What about an Assassin's Creed set during the Salem Witch Trials?
Love it! It’s looking possible that AC codename Hexe actually might go down this route 👀
AC hex will be the witch trials of Germany from 1721-1735 I believe not the Salem witch trials but still interesting history
The Netherlands around 1600. The Golden age!
Love to know your thoughts on what your favourite time period and setting would be! 😎
my favourite setting would be during the Irish war of independence the Irish civil war or the 1916 eastern rising I think with are mc being a member of the IRA which could be a cover for the Irish assassins order would be good and we see a more cold hearted and violent assassin would be good and some missions could be like bloody Sunday and the assassination of Michael Collins
Just to have any assassins creed game in the early 20th century would be amazing, I really do think they’ll try it one day. I don’t know much about Irish history but it sounds like a recipe for a great AC game!
@@IronsideGeorge It is on netflix
Ancient Ireland would be good too but I think that Renaissance England would be good too because Shakespeare.
Mentioning the War of the Roses actually made me think about what an AC story set during the Hundred Years' War would look like. Two major powers going at it, and two different assassin groups working behind the scenes. Would there be a "clearly right" side, or would the two branches be at odds? It'd be interesting if your assignment was to take out other assassins that support the "wrong" side.
It'd probably have to wait for the final game in the series, but playing through the time when the Forerunners (or whatever they're called, I'm drawing a blank right now) were in control. See what was going on then, maybe even play as humans trying to escape the Forerunner's control.
I massively considered including The Hundred Years War! You should read a series of books by Bernard Cornwell called The Grail Quest, set within the Hundred Years War from the perspective of an English Longbow Archer, it's amazing! Not sure what you mean by Forerunners though?
@@IronsideGeorge sorry, I meant the Isu. Someone in the early games described them as "humanity's forerunners" or something like that, and my Halo brain latched onto that name lol
I even typed it Forerunners and saw Halo pop up 😛 It would be nuts to have an AC game set during the Isu… no idea how it would work though. To be honest i just prefer the historical settings over the animus and Isu race but we are where we are 🤷♂️
If there was an ac game set during the American civil war I think it would be cool to play as a kenway again
I'd like to have an Assassin's creed Game based around the Cold War
Sounds good! You’re not the only one to suggest that. Who knows, it could happen one day!
The Scottish wars for Independence is a good setting for me!
One of my favourites out of the list! Probably heavily influenced by braveheart but I don’t care! 😁
@@IronsideGeorge thank you for adding my suggestion from the poll 😁!
@Scorpion-ds2vc made a note as soon as I saw it! Thanks for all the support man, hugely appreciated ❤️
I think that the moari wars in new zealand could make some increably interesting game design and strorylines
Nice vid dude. I agree ww1 or 2 could be a great shout!
Thanks bro - seems to be the most popular setting! It’ll happen one day 😁
Prohibition era ac game would be beyond perfect bro
I think so too! Never seen it mentioned anywhere before either so really glad you agree 😊
@@IronsideGeorge I mean all the people you can meet in that game it would be so good
And the settings
@lukeosas220 have you ever seen Boardwalk Empire? HBO series all about it, it’s amazing. The main reason i added it in the video 😛
YES between 1920s-1934
No doubt that Aztek would be the coolest, so much mystery there.
Ahhh but whose side would you be on? The Aztec’s or the Spanish? 😉
@@IronsideGeorge Who in their right mind would side with the Spanish? Well, unless their Christian nationalists or Nazis, that is.
I’m thinking of a AC game set during the colonisation of Australia
Good time period - pretty dark tones though, I bet they never would just because of peoples temperament nowadays. Are you from Australia? 😊
@@IronsideGeorge yes I am
G'day mate!
@@IronsideGeorge we do say G’day but mostly just hello or hi.
That's a good idea for a assassin's creed game
A ww2 game would be pretty cool
I would love an ac game during the Roman Empire. I know origins was but I’m talking about one set in Italy with a Roman assassin. There could be a mission where you assassinate Caligula or Tiberius or even Nero. Would be really fun!
Imagine teaming up with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abe Lincoln
I'd personally like a game during the 1100s with King Baldwin as a side character
That’s AC 1 lol
As much as I'd like to see an AC game set during Trojan War, it's probably impossible and there are 2 reasons :
1. What worked in 3 hours movie wouldn't probably work in 30+ hours game, there is too few things to do on such a small territory, gameplay would sometimes just be sitting in camp or city and doing nothing or doing just waves of unsuccessful attacks
2. I doubt there will ever be AC game set before Odyssey, because Odyssey is set during lifetime of the first user of hidden blade and I don't think anyone ideologically close to assassins/hidden ones would exist before that (excluding humans from Isu times 75 000 years ago), also the order of ancients was founded barely 100 years before Trojan War, so they are still not that influential to wage wars
My favourite one is definitely Aztecs, we already have AC Project Legacy that touches on that subject, but I think Ubisoft can use this time period for a mainline game
I, as a Pole, would also add Polish Golden Age (16th/17th century) in that list, because Poland was one of the most powerful countries in Europe and we fought endless wars with Swedes, Russians, Cossacks and Ottomans during that time period, so it could be a nice setting
I would love to see an AC game set in the Wild West. My idea is that you play as a young assassin who moves to Nevada with their to help their father expand his business as a lawyer. However, you eventually cross paths with the Assassin’s and find out that the Templars have created a pact with both the United States government and the outlaws of the west in the hopes of gaining influence with either manifest destiny or with fear tactics of the criminal underworld. It is up to you, the brotherhood, and the Native American tribes to put a stop to both of them and become both a legendary assassin and bounty hunter, as well as trying to take away a piece of Eden in possession by the Templars in the form of the Golden Plates and Seer Stones once possessed by Templar Joseph Smith. The game can feature figures such as Billy the Kid, Buffalo Bill, L Frank Baum, Crazy Horse, and PT Barnum; and would place a heavy focus on natural landmarks to climb on like the Grand Canyon and Arches National Park rather then man-made landmarks (similar to what 3 did).
Love it, would it be a very gun focused AC game though? I feel like it would have to be. (I wouldn’t mind them going in they direction though - you could also have missions where hon have to not alert anyone or only have your hidden blade too)
@@IronsideGeorge I’d imagine it would be similar to the gun mechanics in Syndicate, since that game is set around the same time period as the Wild West. Also, this would be set prior to the invention of automatic weapons, so there wouldn’t be any hand-held machine guns or anything; also there could be a mechanic where if you stay behind cover for too long that an enemy will come up to you and attack you with melee weapons instead of guns. One final thing is that they could use historical accuracy to it’s advantage since the Wild West wasn’t as violent as most media portrays it (heck, side arms were even banned in some areas).
@@jh66444all that just to be killed by Arthur Morgan 😜
Uhm...I'm a fan of parkour in AC Creed, so I need a city. Obviously missing from your list? Ancient Rome itself. We're going for the jugular here. There's a lot of history there with a whole Empire and many interesting characters. An ambitious project though...If we return to France (which is Ubisoft's domain after all) I want a Musketeers story and a Hero in the Ðartagnan (main protagonist of Alexandre Dumas's books) style at the apogee of Cardinal De Richelieu's political influence and scheming plans. Now, that would be insanely great. I was also teased by the Dark Ages/Middle Ages snipets we got. I wanted more Templars in AC1 and teased again in Unity with Jacques DeMolay. A full-on Crusade Epic story? Oooo!
Yo - I would expect all of my suggestions to have cities in them! The Trojan War would obviously focus around Troy, but WW1 ideally Berlin, America during prohibition either New York or Chicago, the rest hopefully would span lots of cities!
Love the Roman Empire suggestion!
Love the Musketeers suggestion!
Love the Crusade Suggestion!
You’re going to make me want to make a second video about this 😛
If Rome I would actually go with the Roman Republic during the Punic Wars. The main focus of the game would be Sicily, but you can also go to Rome and Carthage.
For me it’s:
A game on The Book of Joshua, LITERALLY the dude defeated 31 kingdoms AND went to war ALOT.
A stand alone Mongolian game, LITERALLY the MOST successful Empire of that time.
A WWI video game 🎮 WOULD be pretty cool.
A Great Depression game, one with Gangsters like Babyface Nelson, etc.
For me a good AC game would be somthing that's played between the 800-900s, in Hungary, as that time they were wandering in into Europe, and our character could be part of the Hungarians, or the one defending the locals from them, either way in my opinion the game would be great with big meadows, some forests, smaller villages and potencially bigger castles.
Coming from Belgium, I think an AC game in the Congo under Belgian King Leopold II period, or just before when they start arriving, would be cool to see. A whole different environment that could possibly be well implemented
I think an AC civil war game would be very good.
Me too - perhaps a descendant of Connor?
For me this idea may take like another 10 years to compete 😂. But I would like to see more time periods where free will is good like an assassin taking out colonizers in Africa and asia in the 1900s, scramble for Africa and stuff. However they make another game that shows the Templar side like let’s say templars are Soviet Russia and you on there side and it shows the player how the assassins free Will idea contradicts what they do because you know all these cia operations from the US and stuff. But before all this, we did a WW1 and WW2, and ancient Japan or Japan during the Meiji restoration. All in all, it would be cool if they kept finding events in history that shows where free will is right, while other events in history show that the idea of free will contradicts itself because they using order for free will to make peace. And then one day they manage to find a balance in modern day or something like that. But a perfect assassins creed would be mansa musa rule of Mali in the 1200s. That would be a great one because he got all that money and gotta decide between free will or order and peace because assassins and templars would be swaying him.
Haha thanks for taking the time to comment my guy. I get what you’re saying! Ultimately an AC game that focuses more on someone genuinely stopping bad people rather than Templars/pieces of Eden?That sort of thing? 😛 Just think, they’ve made 10 games and loads of spin offs in like 15 years, just think what we’ll have in another 15 years!
@@IronsideGeorgeYeah your right maybe they just wrap up the modern day in like some of the time periods you listed in the video. I just hope if they ever go into like the 1920s or WW1 they get it right. Like they gotta have a balance between the guns and your H2H combat. But yeah would be cool. Thank you for replying!
Precisely why I think WW1 would work better over WW2, but obviously the Nazi's didn't come into play in WW2... I think single shot guns could work ok but anything other than that would be too much. I'll always reply, thanks for watching!
👍🏿
Nah, technology will increase to make video games 🎮 like these faster to make.
these ideas sound so nice but luckily i still havent played all ac games
Let’s get a western assassins creed game I feel that would be cool
This is gonna be a bit of a unique take, but Im suprised nobody really mentions an AC game taking place in the 1960's, 70's or even the 1980's. Or a game taking place between all three decades, the height of consumerism and the cold war would also make a really interesting setting.
Just a small thing I wanted to say. U Said that you would like to haunt some Nazis during wwI. But in wwI there weren't any nazis, they came in round 2. But aside of that i'm fully with you, amazing idea
Yo dude, about 30 seconds later I do say, technically we didn’t fight the Nazis in the WW1 - perhaps I should have led with that 😛 appreciate the support!
@@IronsideGeorge oh okay, probably missed that while writing the comment hahah
A wwII setting with very few automatic weapons really would be perfect
@bimunschxldig241 😂 fair play - the only reason I pick ww1 over 2 is because of automatic weapons being a little less used, but I’d be very happy with either one! It’ll happen one day I have no doubt.
I would think a civil war be neat to follow up assassin creed 3 but we never got one but I see why then again since it is controversial
I should send this to Ubisoft.
Assassins Creed India would be great!
We did go to India in AC chronicles, but that’s a 2d game so it doesn’t really count 😛
@@IronsideGeorge What I meant was a full fledged AC game set in India similar to Egypt, mate
Yes please! 🙌
We don't need any games before Odyssey getting tired of games not having Templars or Assassins in it. Also, we already played as a former slave in Freedom cry
Spain
Spain when? 😊
Do think that AC should be set in Thirty-Years War?
th-cam.com/video/8gkkC1CEDbs/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely! But whose side would be be fighting on eh?
@@IronsideGeorgeHabsburg should be supported by Templars and Anti-Imperial alliance should be supported by Assassins.
Agreed! Thanks for the suggestion bud ✌️
@@IronsideGeorge I think that Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe is set during the Bamberg witch trials, the Würzburg witch trials. At the same time, Germany was still continuing the Thirty Years' War.
I’m really excited for Hexe. Not a great deal of information out yet but, I can see it being the darkest and most gritty AC game to date.
Hi George
Hello James! Hope you’re having a good Summer!
Why would you first kill the Austro Hungarian crown prince by the hands of the tampelars, then take out German imperial leaders. By that definition Templars are fighting for the allies and the assassins for the allies to
I think you missed the part where I say you take out Franz, realise your mistake and switch sides, then take out German Leaders. A bit like AC Rogue but the other way round!
China would be awesome , it could be ubisofts answer to ghost of tusima , why bother doing a feudal Japan game . Ancient china is plenty amazing
Good shout!
nazis...in world war 1? man i hope not XD. any way it would be really awesome to have a world war one or two ac game
Haha I swear everyone is missing my comment at 1:14 where I say the Nazis didn’t exist in WW1 😂 I should have led with it!
Really hope we do get a WW1/2 Ac game, it could be so amazing!
WW1 is WAY too recent for me. Honestly, anything in the 18th and 19th centuries are too recent, as well. I'm one of the few AC fans that don't love Black Flag for that reason.
It wouldn’t bother me at all, but each to their own!
@@IronsideGeorge I just prefer older history, is all. Technically, I don't mind the occasional near-modern eras. It's just not something I wish for. With a few exceptions if someone makes a really cool case for a near-modern setting.
Edit: One example of a near-modern setting I would actually like to see is Congo during the genocide carried out by King Leopold II. I suppose the reason I like this setting is because it's rather obscure. Everyone knows about the world wars or the American civil war. Not that many people knows about the Congo genocide.
I'll be honest, it's the first I've heard of it. Sounds like you know your stuff. Would be just twenty years after AC Syndicate was set too, which is currently our most modern.
WW2 mate Nazis where in ww2
😮😮
Assassins creed: Three Kingsoms… That just made me throw up in my mouth a bit.
Assassins creed pancho villa
It’s pronounced CRIM-eAN war not CRIME-eAN
Sorry B Money
Dude come on really. I understand that you are British but enough of the anglosaxon and american based games. Prohibition, wars of english crows, scottish wars, american civil war etc I mean come on. There are ton of more mediteranian/middle eastern/ far eastern civilizations, histories and characters more interesting and apealing than anglo saxon and american ones. AC 3 was boring as hell for me, AC Syndicate even worrse and I couldnt even finish Valhalla because of how annoying it is. Angosaxon/ American history is not for AC games.
What you're failing to realise is that Ubisoft have a core audience of United States, UK and Europe. Countries where Anglo Saxon history is taught (because it's our history), therefore it's relatable to those people because it's time periods and battles that we know/are taught about. So why wouldn't people want to play a game where they get to live in a reimagined version of our history?
Having said that, AC started off with the Italian Renaissance, they have an Arabian setting, an Egyptian setting, a Greek setting and soon to be a Japanese/Samurai setting. So if you don't like one of the games that everyone else likes, go play one of the others. If you don't like those, AC isn't for you
@@deanfairley7209 I said in my first comment that I understand that. This is not about economy or profits of the company, not the financial standpoint. This is couple of game fans talking about where the next game should be. I like all the games you mentioned so the AC is for me. Just dont like these awfull anglosaxon/ american games that nobody likes, only you brits. I am not from greece or egypt( and I know their history unlike you who dont know the difference between thailand and africa). I am not from egypt or greece but I can aprecciate the beauty of their settings and history. So take a history book and learn something about other nations and countries, dont be the typical dumb a$$ american.
@@drmarcsloan You can't seem to decide whether I'm American or British. Are you okay? You seem very angry and bitter. What's going on in your life buddy? Here to talk if you need to get things off your chest
@@deanfairley7209 I am okay. Are u okay? Since you attached yourself to my comment and cant let go. You obviously have some unresolved issues. Do you need proffesional help if those mental problems of yours have kicked up? I can help you.
in a way ghost of tsushima IS what would it be like if ac did make a game in feudal japan. jin sakai used to be a samurai and his uncle always told him to face his battles directly with honour but due to the circumstances, he had to strike from the shadows thus earning the nickname ghost of tsushima. so while i think it would absolutely be Sick if we have an ac game set in feudal japan, i feel like it wouldnt have been as fresh as when ghost of tsushima came out.
