Ever since\u00a0Assassin’s Creed 2<\/em>, fans have been theorycrafting and posting ideas on subreddits about where the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em><\/strong> franchise could go next. As soon as the possibility to move to new time periods was made real, every fan had their own unique suggestions. Iconic moments in world history like World War 2, Feudal Japan, the Mongolian Empire, The Bolshevik Revolution, and many more have been requested by fans; however, at least in terms of world history, not all time periods fit the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> framework well.<\/p>\n

For every moment in world history that has the potential to make a great\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em><\/a> game, there’s always one setting that just wouldn’t mesh well with the series. There are some modern and ancient civilizations that just don’t have many opportunities for social stealth or the RPG-style mechanics in games like\u00a0Odyssey<\/em> and the upcoming\u00a0Assassin’s Creed Valhalla<\/em>. These could change in the far future, but for now, there are several time periods that just wouldn’t mesh well with\u00a0the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> formula in its current state.<\/p>\n

The American Wild West probably would be a big no go for an\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> time period, despite how many would want it. The main thing is there’s not many aspects of the old American west that would translate well into Ubisoft’s franchise, as the Wild West is typically characterized by wide open expanses, or quaint and small towns with small populations. Now for a western game like\u00a0Red Dead Redemption<\/em><\/a>, having long expanses and vistas without much civilization makes sense.<\/p>\n

A game like\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>, even when not factoring in the social-stealth mechanics that the series is known for, the Wild West just doesn’t make sense. Everyone knows everyone in small town America, so assassinations become much harder to implement naturally, and frankly wouldn’t make for interesting gameplay anyway.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Similarly, that same problem applies with early American wars for Assassin’s Creed<\/em>. With the exception of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed 3<\/em>‘s American Revolution setting<\/a>, conflicts like\u00a0any of the subsidiaries of the\u00a0American Indian Wars, the War of 1812, any of the various naval skirmishes like the Barbary Wars, and other armed rebellions and conflicts just wouldn’t make sense from a gameplay perspective. There’s just not many famous espionage moments during these conflicts, and they don’t hold much significance in world history compared to just US history.<\/p>\n

All of these moments in early American history are short-lived skirmishes or large-scale armed conflicts, none of which are conducive for any meaningful assassinations. There’s just not much opportunity for stealth or social assassinations during these time periods, plus the American Revolution covers this area pretty well.<\/p>\n

Some fans have\u00a0posited that the ancient Aztec civilizations may be a good fit for\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>. While the franchise has visited other ancient civilizations before in Odyssey\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Origins<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>\u00a0doesn’t need to visit early Aztec society. Granted the series has visited Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt previously, but those were advanced civilizations that once again were more conducive for assassinations and political intrigue. Aztec history is largely conceptual and macrocosmic, as there’s only a few major political leaders from city-states known from the Aztec Empire.<\/p>\n

Although there’s potential for a unique story about the conflict between the Aztecs and Spanish conquistadors,\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> likely won’t visit early Central America anytime soon. There are plenty of other larger time periods the series would visit beforehand, ones with more stories\u00a0with more concise info and a less grueling history.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Generally modern warfare hasn’t been a prominent time period in Assassin’s Creed<\/em>.\u00a0Assassin’s Creed 3<\/em> and\u00a0Unity<\/em> had some modern history<\/a> and present day flair, but centering an entire mainline game around a modern armed conflict invites too many comparisons. Any of the World Wars or the Vietnam War specifically (Cold War is a different story) would be too focused on the gunfights and skirmishes. Gameplay would likely revolve around guns more, a la Watch Dogs<\/em>, than traditional\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There is some potential, but employing Assassin’s Creed<\/em> stealth in a situation where\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> gunplay makes more sense is problematic. Even in Ubisoft’s repertoire alone, there are numerous shooters like\u00a0Ghost Recon<\/em> or\u00a0The Division<\/em>\u00a0that would lend themselves more to World War 1\/2 more than\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>would.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The same goes for any modern history in general, as\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> really only has a few options there. Mainly the Cold War would probably be the biggest example. A Cold War\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> game has been the subject of rumors before<\/a>, but frankly even that time period would require a lot of country hopping between the US and Russia. Either that or the game would need to take place from the perspective of an Assassin from one of those countries.<\/p>\n

There’s plenty of political intrigue throughout the Cold War for\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>to capitalize on, but the scope would have to make it the biggest game in the series. Cold War history has a lot going on in those few decades that can’t possibly be centralized on one continent the whole time<\/a>. Frankly,\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> will probably tackle the Cold War at some point, but there’s plenty of early world history to explore first that’s more centralized.<\/p>\n
