Where should Assassin's Creed be placed next?

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has garnered many praises from Steven this week. This is without a doubt the highlight of the series that has had a great story. Ancient Greece proved to be an excellent creative choice for Ubisoft Quebec, but where should the series be placed next? This is the subject of the questions and answers period of the GCP this weekend. Let us know your answers in the comments below.

Phil Savage: The China of the Three Kingdoms

If Dynasty Warriors 9 has taught us anything, it is that the potential of an open world unfolding in China in the 2nd and 3rd centuries is considerable. If Dynasty Warriors 9 taught us a second, it's because Dynasty Warriors 9 is a terrible open world game that takes place in China in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. It's an exciting period of history, however: full of heroes, betrayals and epic facial hair. There are loads on which developers can support. While the aforementioned series of Dynasty Warriors and the next total war: Three Kingdoms are set during the period, both tend to focus on large-scale conflicts.

This time would be fertile ground for a more linear, directed story centered on specific characters. I would love to see areas of historical China recreated with the finishing and production values ​​of Ubisoft. This would also benefit the Assassin & # 39; s Creed series in general. Until now, the main games in the series have tended to focus on more recognizable regions of the West. We have long been waiting for something a little different.

Philippa Warr: The distant future

If Abstergo knows how to create digital ghosts that become friends with birds or are sometimes birds while trying to read or eventually break or invent the Da Vinci code, then they can guess enlightened way the future. Or at least run possible numerical simulations in the future. In addition, does not their technological superiority affect everything? I think they'd like an Animus stuff that lets them predict future technology, get users to test it and invent it, then invent it, anticipating the market. .

Alternatively, if we are talking about where it should be set for me to end up playing it, they should use something like Atlantis. 100% under water. Murder clown fish or something like that. Wait. Maybe I do not want to play that after all.

Andy Kelly: Scotland

Scotland during the first Scottish independence war. You know, when Braveheart was put. I like the idea of ​​traveling the valleys and highlands like a Scottish rebel, sneaking into the encampments and English castles and dismantling, piece by piece, the army of Longshanks. Odyssey proves that Ubisoft is capable of creating spectacular open worlds composed of mountains and valleys. The darker and colder climate of Scotland would be a good counterpoint to colorful and sumptuous Greece.

There are many characters you could meet. William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Longshanks himself. And Ubisoft can be sure that every patriotic Scot will buy the game, just to stick to the English. Virtually, of course. We really love them. The game would also be an opportunity to show this period of history through a (slightly) more precise objective, because Braveheart is, as we say in Scotland, historically speaking, a charge of pish. However, please, if you are creating this game for any reason, hire Scots as voice actors. Whenever I hear a Scottish accent in a video game, it's always terrible and embarrassing.

Steven Messner: Just a different place

Assassin's Creed is part of its appeal: it gives life to the story, but I always thought it was a shame to see the series stuck to Western European cultures conducive to video games. I like Phil's idea of ​​doing China, but I'd like to see Assassin's Creed really do something deep and do something that did not spend a lot of time. time on screen in the mainstream media. I'd like to see something like Assassin's Creed Sumeria, Africa or Mesoamerica. These are all areas of history of paramount importance that are not necessarily influenced by the Western world, and it would be great to see this culture materialize in a video game.

Samuel Roberts: Russia, or maybe the Wild West

Although there is a game derived from Assassin's Creed Chronicles in Russia after the October Revolution, that I will never have time to play as Ubisoft publishes slices Major all the time, I would be interested in playing an appropriate 3D entry early 20th century. Will Assassin's Creed one day be ready for an appropriate shooter? I think that Ubisoft considers melee combat as one of its USP, and making the series a third-person shooter might lose a bit of the combination of that.

Otherwise, what would the Ubisoft version of the US border look like? It contains a mix of great real characters and social changes that would provide a good backdrop for Assassin's Creed, which will pick up a bit later than the very bad third match.
