With168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Assassin's Creed Valhalla ꦆin the rearview mirror, it's time to speculate what might be next for the Assassin's Creed series. It's clear that the series is not slowing down as it shows no signs of losing its ﷺmomentum or popularity.

While recent games have steadily moved away from the franchise's stealth roots and embracꦚed a more Witcher-like action game style, the franchise's dedication to unique historical settings still means there is a ton of potential for future entries. Here is a look at potential eras the next game could be set in.

10 Sengo🦋ku Japan 🦹

Yes, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima has already somewhat beaten Assassin's Creed to the punch here, but the potential is so strong. Ubisoft could surely still uncover some new take on their franchise by situating in Japanese history, perhaps like the Sengoku period that saw unification through historical figures like Oda Nobunaga and Tokugaw🤡a Ieyasu, names familiar to anyone with a passing familiarity with Japanese hist🙈ory.

Tsushima's Jin Sakai is a samurai conflicted with stealthy tac🌞tics. Assassin's Cre⛎ed could give us a full-fledged ninja to explore a richly-rendered Japan. These games already have immortals and gods — they can go to Asia.

9 Three 🧜Kingdoms-Era China

Romance of the Three Kingdoms battle art

As long as we're looking east, what about adapting, or at least taking inspiration ඣfrom, one of the most influential books o🦹f writing in all human history? Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms has already given the Dynasty Warriors franchise a mountain of inspiration.

Warrior states vying for unity, leaders making shady alliances, and warriors on the ground getting caught up in grander conspiracies — an ꦜAssassin's Creed spin on this massive epic w🌠ould have plenty of material to cover.

8 🎶 Arthurian England

Avalon - King Arthur

This is the one that has the highest likelihood of happening. With Assassin's Creed Valhalla b♒ringing franchise action to Dark Ages England already, the shift to proper knights and kings mixed with Templar intrigue feels very plausible.

♌Because this is happening in the current, more mythology-adjacent era of Assassin's Cre🍃ed Games, there's even a high chance we could Assassins stalking a dragon or fighting alongside King Arthur himself. Don't be surprised when Assassin's Creed: Chivalry hits shelves in a year or two.

7 🐎 I⛄nca Empire

Inca Empire

Another historical 🌟empire with a distinct design aesthetic and rich, occasionally bloody history is the Inca Empire. An assassin scaling the unique architecture left behind by the Inca to use as a synchronization point is an image that immediately jumps to mind.

Assassin's Creed Origins gave players a look into historical Egypt and its people's frustration with colonization from Rome. A ga💞me set in the Inca Empire during its struggle with Spanish conquistadors, giving players yet another chance to hunt down and assassinate 💟colonizers, would be a perfect set up.

6 ൩ Germanic Middle Ages

Medieval Europe

In a similar vein as Valhalla, Assassin's Creed could journey a little further into Europe and explore the similar skirmishes of Germanic sta♕tes in the Middle Ages. This region is where the Brothers Grimm collected their fairy tales, so along with telling a story♉ of hidden conspiracies looking to unite and control a huge swath of land, side quests and more fantastical elements could pull from Grimms' fairy tales for content and general tone.

5 The Mali Empire ও

As expounded in the epic poem 🎃Sundiata, the Mali empire stretched across much of Western Africa and was renowned for its wealth and industry. Sundiata Keita, after whom the poem Sundiata is named, was the empire's founder and first ruler.

While Mali does not have the same cultural cache as more western-loved eras like Ancient Greece or Rome, it is definitely a historical standout, and one that could be rife for exploration,🐼 provided the team at Ubisoft are willing to do a little research  and get the specific details right (which they've proven in the past they are.)

4 Macedonia

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great's tomb was referenced heavily in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Origins, but his life and exploits remain untouched. An Assassin's Creed game set in the shadow of pℱerhaps the most successful military campaign in world history would have plenty of room for a "secret history" style campaign. Building out how Alexander the Great's story intersected🅰 with the ongoing power struggles of the Assassin's Creed franchise's secret societies would have a huge amount of story potential.

3 ♓ Roman Emp෴ire

While Assassin's Creed Odyssey gave us plenty of Greece, and Origins and Valhalla both have plenty of Roman content, the Roman Empire itself has not been the focus of a pr🐷oper Assassin's Creed. From the political intrigue of the triumvirate to battles against Hannibal and his soldiers on elephants, the Roman Empire, either at its height or as it begins to crumble, would be a superb setting for an Assassin's Creed.

2 California Gold🌼 Rush

Consider, if you will, Assassin's Creed: Red Dead Redemption. We've already seen Assassins in America in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed III, but if Ubisoft wants to e꧑xplore western history they might as well go all the way out we🌺st.

While this might not be as easy of a setting to connect to the franchise's running narrative, it doesn't need to reinvent the wheel. Some kind of Isu technology might be washing up when people are panning for gold, and some 19th century assassins and templars have to saddle up to see what's what. The world in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Red Dead Redemption II was. beautiful, and the only way to make it better would be to do a leap of faith off of those w🔯aterfalls.

1 Civil War

Battle of Gettysburg

Assassin's Creed Black Flag's DLC Freedom Cry gave players the experience of killing slave owners in Haiti while playing as pirate and freed slave Adéwalé. Another historical period☂ with lots of recognizable events and conflicts, which also gives players the chance to dispose of slave owners and those who support slavery with impunity, would be the American Civil War. It's also yet another hiꦫstorical event that could likely slot very easily into the franchise's long-running conflict between Assassins and Templars.
