Would you like an Assassin's Creed in the independence of Great Colombia and for Simon Bolivar, Francisco de Paula Santander among others to appear, would it be great to see the independence of South America in Assassin's Creed, what do you think?

An Assassin's Creed in the time of Jesus would be great for you.

What time period or historical event would you want to see a game set in? There are so many good ones that would be amazing to see in a new game.

A game featuring Edward Kenway’s daughter (I don’t remember her name at the moment). I mean we only saw her in the ending scenes of Black Flag and then never again seen. Did Edward train her as an Assassin? Did he marry her off? What happened? And I’m not even asking for a mainline game, a DLC type like Freedom Cry would be enough. I just think that she wasn’t expanded on enough.

What do you think?

Do you think there could be an Assassin's Creed that deals with the independence of South America?

If you could make a sequel to one AC game what would it be?

A game in the calmar union would be very cool you could visit denmark, sweden and finland!

Whats your opinion on this?

As we know the next two installments are in Japan and the Witch Hunt in Germany, do you think it is related to the Fragment trilogy? With the first book set in the Boshin War in Japan and the third in the Labourd witch hunt, maybe we can have something related to Scotland.

The question is the setting. I see two major probabilities.

1) The War of Independence with William Wallace and Robert de Bruce. (1296-1328)

In the book, Wallace is an Assassin who fought the English who invaded Scotland. The Templars used the invasion as a diversion for their operation.

We can see the last historic Templars which were protected by the bishop St Andrew after the arrestation of the order in 1307. Some legends said they aided Bruce during the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 before forming another secret society. As Scotland allied with France, maybe we could see Thomas de Carneillon hunting some Templars in the area.

2) Marian Civil War (1560-1588)

Ubisoft seemed to focus on the modern era with Shadows (late 16th century), Hexe (early 17th century), Nebula (Aztec empire, so 1520s). I think for reusing some animation, weapons, and technologies, Scotland during the Presbyterian Reform and the Marian Civil War could be perfect. It was the time before England and Scotland were under the same king. Elizabeth I of England was at war with her cousin Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, the English influencing the Reform to break the Catholic Church in Scotland. Many assassination plots occurred during Mary's reign and she was overthrown before being executed.

There are other settings like the English Civil War or the Jacobites' uprisings but for the first, it would focus more on England (we already had Valhalla, maybe waited before returning to Britain) and the second the events are too short for a complete game.

One of Assassin's Creed's lost opportunities

If I was chosen to direct a direction for an assassins creed game mine would be in the Mughal era because for one there are many synchronization points, for example, you could probably go to the Thaj Mahal or the Red Fort in Delhi, and a lot of cool weapons like the Katar which could be modified for a hidden blade or the Chakram which could be a replacement for throwing knives. Also, India is a diverse setting for Assassins Creed. You could explore the thar desert in Rajasthan or the beaches of Kerala for some dlc so I think the location itself would be cool. Now we probably are going to get that game with AC Nebula but it won't be at its full potential but that's just my thoughts.

Context

In the 16th century, the Protestant Reformation spread across Northern Europe, beginning with Luther in 1517 across the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1541, Calvin spread the reformed church in Geneva. After the wars, in 1555 the Peace of Augsburg established peace among Lutheran and the Catholic states in the empire. While in Southern Europe, the Counter-Reform and Inquisition stopped the development of Protestantism, in Western Europe, the religious division became the background of political struggles. In England, the three children of Henry VIII changed the ways of the Anglican Church. In Scotland, the reform of John Knox was supported by the pro-English party while the Catholics were more aligned with the pro-French alliance (House of Guise, with Mary de Guise Regent of Scotland and her daughter becoming the catholic Queen Mary Stuart). In the Spanish Netherlands, the rebels against the Spanish Empire, while in majority Catholics, became later Calvinists with the war. In France, The House of Guise and the House of Bourbon fought to influence the royal House of Valois, the Guise supported the Catholics and Spain while the Bourbon sided with the protestants and the Dutch rebels.

Reasons why it is the perfect settings

1) Many assassinations during the era. The Wars of Religion saw the elimination of many leaders and kings (William of Orange, lord Darnley, King Henry III, the Guise). During the period, the Monarchomach theories developed, promoting on one side popular sovereignty but also justifying tyrannicides against bad rulers in both religions. It could be interesting to see how the Assassins deal with that.

2) Many connections with the previous series installments.

• We know that Mary Tudor was a Templar ally killed by the Assassins and that Elizabeth Tudor had Altaïr Apple of Eden which was in Masyaf the last time we saw it. Maybe a connection between the Assassins, the Turks and the Protestants which allied against the Habsburg empire (Turco-Calvinism).

• The Italians influenced Western Europe politics in the 16th century. Catherine de Medici as Regent of France, David Rizzo was Mary Stuart's advisor before being assassinated, Alexander Farnese Duke of Parma was governor of the Spanish Netherlands, and even the Guise were descendants of the Borgia. The Prince of Machiavelli influenced a more pragmatic politic but was also criticized as immoral and Italians were often seen as traitors or liars, and in the Protestant view, they were supporters of the pope. During the French Wars of Religion, many commanders of the French army were veterans of the Italian Wars, like Francis of Guise or Anne of Montmorency. In The Witches of the Moors, we learned that the French Templars had the original shroud of Eden until 1593. As Francesco Vecellio had it in 1510, maybe it was taken during the Italian Wars. We could see the lasting influence of the war between the Auditore and the Borgia.

• New World expeditions. While Spain controlled most of the Americas, the French and English Kingdoms sent explorers to the New World, like the Sea Dogs (English privateers and pirates), Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh among them, who participated in the Wars of Religion. In 1585, Raleigh went to Virginia and found the lost colony of Roanoke, which is referenced in AC3 MP as an Assassins or Templars colony. The game could link with the Kenway Saga. Also, the first Freemason appeared in Edimbourg in 1598, and we know they brought the Apple of Eden 3 to the Americas.

3) Theme Liberty vs Order: these conflicts are the perfect settings for the Assassin-Templar War. Two religions in the same state were seen as a danger to political order and both sides persecuted each other. Seeing how the Assassins and Templars influenced the conflicts and dilemmas on their methods.

Time et space

The timeline will take place between 1558 and 1598, covering the Wars of Religion in France, the Marian Civil War, and the beginning of the Eighty Years' War. As one character couldn't explore all the events (it would be too disjoint for a story), I think three characters would be better: a Scottish Assassin operating in Edimbourg during Mary Stuart's reign; a French Templar fighting both Assassins and corrupt Templars in the Wars of Religion (the First Black Cross); and a Dutch Sea Geuzen fighting the Spanish Army and sometimes allying with the Brotherhood and the Order.

For the map, I see 3 cities and 3 regions:

-Paris: many events occurred in the city as the fatal tournament of King Henry II in 1559, the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew in 1572, the Barricades in 1588 and the siege of 1589 by Henry IV. It would be smaller than in Unity and more Medieval-Renaissance.

-Edimbourg: during Mary Stuart's reign, Edimbourg was a place of conspiracy and political intrigues, as the assassination of David Rizzo and lord Darnley During the Marian civil war, the city was besieged by King's Men and two regents were assassinated.

-Antwerp: one of the richest cities in Europe with the Bourse of Antwerp and a high spot of the Renaissance. During the Dutch revolt, it was the capital of the Dutch Provinces and its own Calvinist republic between 1577 and 1585. In 1566 protestant riots occurred and the city was sacked by the Spanish in 1576 and 1583 by Francis of Anjou. It was finally taken by Alexander Farnese in 1585 after a siege. Maybe also have Gent and Brussel as they are close and had an importance during the revolt.

-The Loire: the longest river in France passing through cities like Orleans and Nantes but also many Renaissance Palace like Chambord, Amboise or the Clos Lucé, Leonardo Da Vinci's Manor. During the 16th century, the Royal House lived in these palaces and political events happened, like the Amboise Conspiracy (Protestant leaders trying to abduct King Francis II to save him from the influence of the Guise), Charles IX's Tour of France or the Blois' General Estate of 1588 where Henry III ordered the assassination of the duke and cardinal of Guise.

Château de Blois

-Highlands: Scotland is one of the parts of the British Islands we never explored in the series. There are many castles, churches, and cities that can be seen. The Reformation and many feuds between clans happened there, like with the Gordon and the Forbes. Maybe we could have references about the Children of the Highlands

-Low Countries/Channel Sea: The Coasts of the Low Countries became the battlefield of the Seagueuzen, beginning with the take of Brielle in 1572. In 1588, The Invincible was also "defeated" in the Channel Sea by the English and the Dutch. I imagine the map like the Caribbean Sea or the River Valley, taking the ship and going to ports like Calais (the last English port before being taken by Francis of Guise in 1558), Dover, The Hague and other mainland cities.

I also imagine other important places for single memories, like La Rochelle, a major French Protestant city besieged in 1573; Ireland during Desmond's rebellion; and North America during Roanoke construction.
