Ubisoft recently announced the delay of their most hyped title this year "Watch Dogs," but "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" will be available a few days sooner.
Instead of the original release date of Nov. 1 for the U.K., Ubisoft will be releasing "Assassin's Creed 4" on Oct 29. Ubisoft has not confirmed if the release date was moved because of the "Watch Dogs" delay to Spring 2014.
In the new installment of "Assassin's Creed" players will take on the role of Edward Kenway, an infamous pirate of the Caribbean seas. However, there are already talks about the next installment of the franchise by game director Ashraf Ismail.
In an interview with The Examiner, Ismail revealed the game's possible new location:
"I'm not saying we are going there, but one day I would love to explore Egypt as a setting for this game. Ancient Egypt could be a really cool place. We have a really cool explanation for how we can do this, and it is with this Animus device that allows us to go to anytime in history.
"People are really surprised with where we took Assassin's Creed 4 because it was back in time from Connor's time. But we've never outright said that we are always moving forward. It just happened to be that way because we went from Altair to Ezio, then Ezio to Connor and there was a lot of hype about the American Revolution.
"However, it was never a set rule that we always get closer to the present day. We were a bit surprised by people who saying, 'how do you go back in time, how's that possible?' It's that Animus device we have. But again, I'm not saying Egypt is where the next one is going, it's just where I would like it to go."
Egypt. Interesting. If the game were moved to Egypt, it would give the possibility for female assassins to join the mix. Multiple "Assassin's Creed" rumors say Cleopatra was killed by a female assassin.
With the end of Desmond Miles' story line in sight, it would be an interesting change of pace, though games with female leads have not sold as well in history.
What do you think about Egypt as a possible setting for the next franchise installment?
