Ahead of its first proper reveal a month or so back, the setting of Assassin’s Creed was a matter a intense speculation on the internet. “World War 2?” asked fans who apparently haven’t played anything else, ever, except previous Assassin’s Creed games. “Or maybe Feudal Japan? What about Egypt?”

NO.

“People on the internet suggest the most boring settings,” Assassin’s Creed 3 creative director Alex Hutchinson told OXM. “The three most wanted are WWII, feudal Japan and Egypt. They’re kind of the three worst settings for an AC game.”

So what wouldn’t be a boring setting for the game then? Besides America, circa the American Revolution, the game’s actual setting, anyway.

“[Assassin’s Creed 3 writer Corey May] really wants to do India, ” he said. “I would too. I’d really love to do the Raj.”

Also, Victorian England. That’s just my idea, of course, but I think it would be brilliant. I mean, it’s so obvious Jack the Ripper was a Templar, isn’t it?
