Let's get the idea off the table that Ubisoft only picks 'known of' or 'relatable' settings. People are generalizing now; gamers are from all over the world, and they all learn and know different things. In regards to what I learned in history class aside from my own country's history, I learned about prehistory, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the Cold War. And we never went very in-depth on any of those, my teachers only stratched the surface. I had heard of the Crusades but I was not aware of what they were exactly. I don't pick a game because I can relate to the settings and people in it - else I wouldn't be playing games with fictional settings and people like sci-fi games.

The narrative branch decides where the series should go next, based on some unknown factors as yet.
