Last year we reported on Ubisoft asking you, the Assassin’s Creed-hungry gamer, to vote on where you’d next like to see the series go in terms of historical setting in something guised as “market research”
Well, if an industry source “close to the project” that spoke to CVG is to be believed (and they’re often not) – then one of the listed settings is pegged as the winner: The American Revolution.
It’s not a far stretch to think it would be the most popular choice – Ubisoft has catered to the Europeans for long enough now, what with us traipsing all over the Mediterranean for four games.
Plus if you recall, the secret code discoveried had pegged Mr. George Washington as an owner of one of the Apples of Eden.
Of course, it’s said that Medieval China and Victorian England are also still in the running, which indicates we should take this with a pinch of salt: Ubisoft want AC3 out by the end of this year – surely they can’t still be trying to decide on an integral part to the game?
In any event, we’ll wait for the official announcement before we celebrate anything – but we definitely welcome a vastly different setting.
Let further speculation commence!
