Next Assassin's Creed To Feature New Protagonist, New Setting, New Developer

I know this may seemed kinda far fetch but after playing assassin creed 3, i was interested in playing the templar side. They may be genocidal jerks but they do have a justifiable cause.

So are we going to have the next game take place in World War 2?

That... sounds pretty cool actually! I could see myself a resistance member jumping off the rooftops of Amsterdam or Paris.

Look up "The Saboteur." It's basically the same thing.

Also, the team said that they were going to stay away from both feudal Japan and WWII, but since it's a different team, they might. Which would disappoint me, honestly, because part of what makes Assassin's Creed good is that they take place in the time periods no one else will touch (outside of strategy games). And WWII is pretty much the easy "go to" war. Except for the Pacific front, which has all of two games featuring it.

I will entirely believe you, Longo. But only if you can prove the statement we know too much of WW2 if you tell me who is Jean Moulin and what was so special about the Rotterdam Blitz. I'll give ya a hint, both of these subject happened before the U.S declared war and non of the entirety video game history ever explored more into these despite being a big subject in European history. Why? Cause people, (mostly the U.S) are really dumbed down on the history of WW2 thanks to video games, Hollywood and most recently politicians. Cracked.com said it best when they said "To believe that the U.S was the main factor in winning the war is like saying the X-men cannot succeed without Ice man".
So no, I do believe a WW2 assassin creed game will touch a subject that no one else knows much. It may actually teach us more on something people generalize WAY too often.
Oh and saboteur sucks cause William Grover-Williams the real guy the protagonist was based on, wasn't Irish. HE WAS FRENCH!

@ Lien

Your comment contains more intelligence than most WWII related "history books" in American schools! Thanks. America had a lot to do with the defeat of the nazis, but if it were only up to the U.S., WWII would have, at best, reached an impasse and a mere armistice alla Korean War would have been reached - even worse, Stalin would have probably allied with Hitler to divide Europe between the two of them (that was Stalin's original plan). Anyways, yeah, I laughed a little at The Saboteur when it try to sell off Grover-Williams as Irish...that was a big lolz. Hitler's defeat was truly an allied effort - and it disgraces the millions of non-Americans who fought to liberate Europe, in fact, let's not forget how many strategic locations all over Europe were liberated by non-American forces - but yeah, that's usually grossly negated in American history books.

I have all of them so far and I only finished 1 & 2. I really need to play them more.
Just really don't feel like it at all right now. They should really make it for next gen, I don't see the point in making another AC on the current gen, it has enough.

AC is one of the few fanchises, like God of War, where each installment is amazing. I know people said Revelations was the weakest in the series, but I felt there was a goo amount of varied content in a small package. I'm glad Ubi is constantly rebooting the franchise to give us fresh games.

For me, the biggest downside with revelation was too much Desmond. I hated that guy not because of who he was, but because how bland his personality became over the games.
I'm glad that *SPOILER!* he got the boot and now we can worry more about the animus rather then hear a whining kid complain about family.

I think that was the point. Some times a character isn't deep and intricate, the whole point IS TO BE AVERAGE. Desmond was always a back burner character anyways and everyone knows that.

I'll be the first person in line to defend any of the AC games so far (sans the portable ones), but I'm getting a bit burned out on them. ACIII was great in so many ways, but but the Desmond ending was terrible, and I just don't feel like I want to invest my time into a new character at this point.

Make a new IP instead. Very few series should have FOUR games on one console generation. I always harken back to Red Dead Redemption .... it sold well due to good reviews and the fact that it was a "spiritual successor" to GTA 4. Provided people like the AC series and like Ubi Soft, they could use the engine and create a new IP "from the folks that brought you assassins creed".

That would be funny. Cause assassin creed was a spiritual successor to Prince of Persia in the first place. But i could see a new setting with the same engine.

I think Assassin's Creed as a series has been a let down of sorts. Each entry in the franchise is great, introducing new mechanics but Ubi seems to ignore the long standing issues with the franchise as a whole. One was the much unneeded complicated controls which thankfully put a stop to that in AC III. But I'm not really looking forward to another entry in the series. Not being a troll about it, but that's how I feel about the Assassin's Creed franchise

AC is one of my favorite series and i have enjoyed each one. Revelations i ended up really enjoying, and AC3 was my favorite yet. As long as they keep the quality and interesting settings i am up for more AC.

I've been asking for an AC set in feudal Japan where you play as, oh my god, a ninja

I'm glad they aren't going to drag out Connor's story like they did with Ezio. I just hope the next game isn't a buggy heap like ACIII is...
