No. AC is about blending the story with actual historical events. You don't want to see amount of foam I'm currently producing over this alternate timeline DLC they've announced for AC3 already.

Besides, following a full game in 'merica with another full game in 'merica? Brotherhood was just an expansion to AC2 so it worked for that. The fact Ubi don't plan making Connor's story episodic would also kinda make it bleak. "Here, you've had a protagonist in America during one war, now have another one in America during another war."
