    It would be a giant paradigm shift for the series. Since it would have a much larger focus on stealth.

    I was having this conversation with a friend the other day. Victorian England also came up on our list.

    I think that there's also room to have an Assassin's Creed set sometime during the American revolutionary war - plenty of shenanigans regarding secret societies forming, and decentralisation of power. A perfect playground for Templar hating assassin's.

    This could then possibly expand to the American civil war and culminate with the assassination of Lincoln, who turned out to be a bad guy or something.

    With the French Ubisoft developing the game, it will likely not turn out to be a gushing piece of American patriotism, and the Brits will probably come off looking cocky and obnoxious (similar to the character Shaun Hastings from AC2 and brotherhood).

    If they do it in modern times maybe set in the ussr? I think that would work if it is going to be set there.

    I agree there is potential to explore this in the Assassin's universe but I dont think they should stretch Desmon's character so far. They have already shown us that long term exposure to the animus causes the subject to experience a break with reality. Desmond has already started experiencing these side effects and Lucy seems less than eager to have him continue to using it.

    Maybe as a new series or something.

    If they keep to the parkout/Freerunning theme, Asia's mega cities like Tokyo, Shanghai or Hong Kong.

    Not sure if anyone has said it, but the Industrial Revolution would be fun

    I say milk the franchise until it sucks! Like so many developers and publishers tend to. Just keep thinking up new ways to use the brand name in a new setting with a twist = WIN! Woop!

    Hehe, I hope it does not go that way. Sometimes, like the TV industry, the gaming industry knows how to milk something till it is deader than dead.

    After finishing AC:BH last night I am almost certain that the next one is going to devote a large portion of its gameplay to modern times. Of course I have been wrong before...

    Given how the story has progressed & AC : BH ends, a modern setting focusing on Desmond does seem most likely. They're not likely to change the formula too much though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I would like to see things changed up a little to keep things fresh and interesting.
