"Because the game is called "Assassin's Creed"."

And yet we have had ACIV where Edward wasn't even an Assassin until the end few sequences of the game. We also played half of AC3 not as an Assassin because Haytham was a Templar & Connor became an Assassin in sequence 6 I believe. There's also Assassin's Creed: Pirates.

I see no reason why we can't have a game where we play as someone other than an Assassin. As long as the Assassins are in it, the name still has relevance. And besides, Kenya's father was an Assassin, so he is linked to the brotherhood.

''"They're not going to release two games in the same year without any connection between them. They can be centuries and countries apart for all I care, but they won't be released without having some connection to one another." ''

I completely agree. I do hope that they choose to have them in different countries though, rather than just playing safe.
