If we were to have full games in these settings during these specific eras, that'd very likely mean recycling (and by extent) retconning the storyline from the comics. And even if they'd manage to avoid that, then the games would still majorly overshadow the comics and nobody would care about them, and I don't think Ubisoft would've hired Karl Kerschl and Cameron Stewart to make comics that they don't really care about. Right now, India and Russia are add-ons to the comics storyline. And if China were to have been a full game we'd have 16th century overkill of nearly the same magnitude as the 17th century.

And I'd be pretty keen for an Assassin's Creed Chronicles: America during the Northwest Indian War.
