... Post World War III ? An apocalyptic scenario, just as Einstein predicted ("I know not what World War III will be fought with, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones")
Or Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt. Maybe you could assassinate Caesar, or work for the Olympian Gods!

I can't see the AC series working with repeater guns which Victorian England would allow. Then again I did laugh when the supposedly most powerful orginisation in the world came to take their dreaded enemies, the Assasins, down at the end of AC2 using four rent a cops with batons.
Japan is right out, wouldn't fit into the whole conspiracy Templar/Christian story arc at all. I'm going to go with revolutionary France, though 18th Century Ottoman Empire would also be interesting though probably not too paletable for a Western audiance.

Victorian London, definitely. My only worry is that the awesomeness might cause permanent damage to the universe.
The future, where you get linked to a futuristic ancestor assassin who has psychic powers that lets him controll other people to do his killing.
That way you'd be a player controlling desmond, who's controlling psychic-dude, who's controlling other people.
Failing that, ninjas definitely.

I actually believe this to be the case as well. In fact, I assumed that would happen as half of the gameplay in AC II. But yes, it seems like it would be a good idea if they used Desmond as the character of primary use in AC IIIAWOL said:
If they do decide to have the game take place in victorian era, guns will unfortunately have to play a pivotal role. The thing is, it would make sense because in Desmond's time, there are sure as shit guns. He's going to have to learn to use them if he has any hope of defeating the Templars in a modern setting.
prohabition era Chicago. May be a bit over-done, but if done well (more stuff with intimidation of cops and such) also you should be a mafia hit man under Al Capone.
Count me in for the Present day. I fear that too many games in which you go in time will detract from the cohesiveness of the story as a whole, which would a be major bummer. It seems to me that the Templars have been developed well enough by now, and that it's time for the series to move on.
I was only kidding about Assasins Creed: IN SPACE!!!Lupus in fabula said:
It seems interesting, it would requior some brilliant writing to keep the story interesting, so i have no more ideas then to put the next assasins creed in the future, i think another planet is a bit over the top.

World War II gets boring. Ninjas are always awesome.
You still don't get it do you. The parallels between Ninjas and the Assassin's Guild are extremely vague. You could say that Assassin's are the same as Soldier because they both kill people in order to stop the enemies from taking over their lands. You completely ignored my explanation of how the way that Ninjas and the Assassin's Guild have completely different structures. Once you take that into consideration then having AC3 in Feudal Japan isn't so plain cut and simple. Besides, it'd be nice to have a story where Europe doesn't have major influence over the land. That and we haven't had a "true" Ninja game since Tench: Wrath of Heaven.sirkai007 said:
