Assassin’s Creed III could have a World War II setting

assassinate hitler and stalin?

Well, we certainly need more games set during WWII

I really, really hope they steer clear of WW2 and carry on exploring eras in which no videogames have ever been set before.

It’s an interesting idea, but escaping guards with swords by slowly scaling the face of a building is one thing. Escaping Nazis carrying machine guns by slowly climbing the face of a building is another…

I hope they don’t plan to drag Desmond’s story out across 35 games, I was annoyed enough that AC1 didn’t have an ending.

” What’s so great about Assassin’s Creed is that we can just milk and milk. ”

and WW2, female assassin. what an original concept.

Ugh no thanks, can’t stand the WWII setting anymore, it’s been done to death. Besides Assassins Creed with guns would feel wrong, stick to the blades and throwing knives.

What would be wrong with the Revolutionary War – there were loads of women who fought in that one to a degree. I don’t think that era is used enough. Just my two cents – which won’t even get you a piece of gum.

Edit: Plus with the forefathers (Franklin esp) hobnobbing with secret societies, one would think that era would be right up this franchise’s alley.

Okay, so lets abandon EVERYTHING that made series popular to this day, and turn it into another WW2 action game, but with a bitt of stealth?

And he posibility of doing an infinite amount of them? That doesn’t sound like they have an overarcing storyline planned out. Wich is a shame because that makes the possibility of more AC less and less apealing.

The next AC should be set in the French Revolution – I can think of no better setting, personally.

Viva la Résistance.

Well considering the secret societies supposedly hanging out in France at the time, yeah, the French Revolution would be pretty awesome.

Yeah, that and the fact that the “de-Christianization” of French society during the Revolution as part of the Reign of Terror would play into the existing storyline absolutely perfectly.

NO, AC3 should in no fucking way have anything to do with WW2 cause if you to free in a WW2 era France get the saboteur, they should just make AC3 about desmond using his uber-assassin skills to kill/stop the templar’s from taking over the world

Worst idea ever, people want to go and assassinate in times were there were no guns (or a few in AC II’s case) and i would prefer a male assassin.

this just in AC4 will take place in the flintstone era
and UC2 will still be GOTY

“That doesn’t sound like they have an overarcing storyline planned out.”

I think they have a plan for Desmond, but in reaching the end of that plan there’s scope for doing whatever the hell they like with his “ancestors”.

Desmond must be a freak of nature btw, with all these memories lurking in his genome, where the fuck are all the genes? (yeah, I know the coding portion of the genome is tiny, but come on)

Well, with the mixes in religion, mysticism and high profile targets, WWII would actually be an excellent setting for the 3rd game, but only if they kept the weapons melee. I’m up for 35 of these, anyone else?

Personally, I’d like to see it take place in the present Think about it, you could climb the Empire State building and jump off into a dumpster, lolz.

Christ what next? Assassin’s Creed Zombie Mode?

Actually, an Assassin’s Creed vs Zombies game sounds like several shades of awesome.

But nowhere near as awesome as an AC set in the French Revolution. Or the colonisation of South America by the Spanish and Portuguese. Or the race for Africa in the 1800s by the European colonial powers. You could literally do it anywhere, anywhen, so making the jump to the 20th Century after only two games would seem awfully short-sighted.

World War II the economies in England and France were run by women because the men were off fighting.

What bizarre version of history did this person learn?

Really cool.

Um, Whizzo… the truth? Who do you think was working in the factories, farms and shipyards during the war? I was always taught that they were almost exclusively run by women as all the men were away fighting.

All the men weren’t off fighting, conscription in Britain didn’t apply to any man over 41 and if they were younger than that and in a reserved occupation they weren’t allowed to fight either.

Women did make up a hell of lot more of the work force than they did pre-war, especially in industries where they didn’t work traditionally, but to suggest they ran the economy is a stretch.

Will it be called “Assassins Creed: Velvet Assassin” by any chance?

No, more like Velvet Assassins Creed. Staring Faucon Winters.
