If you've hacked all of the Abstergo computers in "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag", you are aware of an email that lists potential locations for "upcoming" titles.
Warning: spoilers ahead!
Ubisoft is allegedly planning on releasing two "Assassin's Creed" titles in 2014, sources told The Examiner. With two potential games comes talk of where the title could take place. We've seen parts of Rome in AC2, the new world being created in AC3, and the Caribbean in AC4, just to name a few.
However, if the Abstergo email provides any insight into future titles, there are six potential settings for the rumored "Assassin's Creed 5". Check out the following descriptions of the settings, and let us know where you'd like to go in the comments section below.
1. 13th Century Egypt/North Africa
Description of history courtesy of GamesRadar.com: "When you hear "Egypt" in relation to Assassin's Creed, is your first thought of the ancient version, with pharaohs and jackal-headed gods? Well, tough; there's a lot more to the country's history than that. (Don't worry about the pyramids, though; they're not going anywhere.) In the 13th century, Egypt--along with a pretty big swath of the Middle East--was in the hands of the Ayyubid dynasty, founded by the legendary crusades-era leader Saladin."
2. 14th Century Ashikaga Shogunate in Japan
"It's already been established that there were Eastern Assassins, so it makes sense to expand on that. Taking the role of a Japanese Assassin, you could stab your way through the history of one of Japan's most influential eras. Usually when games are set in this time, it is all about the samurai and ninja. Because they are samurai and ninja. Exploring the events that made gave rise to that class of warrior would very cool," DigitalTrends wrote about the potential AC locations.
3. 18th Century French Revolution
"Napoleon himself makes a perfect Templar; the ambition, conquest, and apparent lofty goal of a peaceful and unified Europe fit the mold, as does his death at 52 under mysterious circumstances," GamesRadar.com wrote.
4. 19th Century Napoleonic Wars/Taiwan
Description of history courtesy of GamesRadar.com: "Starting in 1862, the island saw a three-year rebellion against the Chinese Qing Dynasty. Then in 1867, the survivors of a wrecked American ship, the Rover, were killed by a tribe of Taiwanese aborigines, prompting a brief and unsuccessful invasion by the U.S. In 1874, a similar shipwreck-massacre incident led to a more successful Japanese invasion, and then 10 years later the island was swept up in the Sino-French War,"
5. 19th Century New England and American Midwest
"The Black Flag memo mentions the "American Midwest," and in the various email discussions the "execs" seem to specifically mean the "Wild West" popularized by people like Billy the Kid and Wild Bill. They both operated post-Civil War though, after weapons technology took a major jump, and musket based rifles were replaced by bullet-based weapons capable of firing far more shots," DigitalTrends wrote.
6. 20th Century Summer of Love, America Pacific Coast
Description of history courtesy of GamesRadar.com: "Sure, hippies--with the exception of the Manson Family and a few would-be revolutionary factions--weren't generally known for embracing murder as a political tactic, but otherwise their communal, freedom-loving ideals line up nicely. Also, given that this is part of Desmond's matrilineal line, odds seem high that a game using this setting might put players into the shoes of Desmond's hinted-at-but-never-seen mother."
