User blog:Mr Rinn/My thoughts on what era Assassin's creed IV could be in

POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

Ok here are some thoughts on what the time era could be.

I'm going to mostly keep it 1500 onwards as I would think that the game would want a link to the modern day so you would probably encounter firearms.



Modern Times: The game would almost certainly be partially set in the Modern times as Juno is lose and ACIII had some proper missions set in the present day.

American Civil War:  This would be an interesting time to cover for the political and moral issues of the time but I imagine they would want it to be a less predictable period and in a different country.

Pre-Stone Age: They could do it in the time of "those who came before" but I highly doubt this would happen yet as it would be much harder to design than a modern era game would.
