How do you think the series will end?

The series is one of my favourites. It is one of the only games that comes out yearly that doesn't sacrifice gameplay over story, but treats them both the same.

Its probably too early,not any info about it jet.
If i could pick setting,then 17th century France,with Louis 14,Cardinal Richelieu and Man with the Iron Mask.

I'm hoping for it to be set in Persia. Other than that, I think the game is perfect just the way it is.

That would be absolutely terrific. Along with going with the games' record of happening during periods of societal change or discourse (the revolutionary Musketeers would make fantastic allies), it'd be f*cking awesome to explore 17th century Paris and the surrounding countryside (an under-construction Versailles would be great to see).

I really hope in a Desmond protagonist, a real Assassin with a lot of cool sh*t in AC style. We've been learned to fight in the 1100, in the 1500 and now it's time for the future...

[acmilano]

Still,it would be better to stay in history.There is no much games with sword fights and there is bunch of modern day shooters. Set completely in present day would look too much like Infamous and Prototipe.

Guess an Assassins with the Ezio Auditore and Altair modus operandi, fighting style and weapons in the present... That would be amazing...

I'm dying to see it set in 19th century Victorian England. I have a thing for mutton chops, tweed, and pipes. But besides that, I can just imagine the fog adding wonderful ambience, especially for stealth missions. It would also pave way for some new architecture - I'm so sick of 15/16th century Italy.

2012, I just don't see a good reason for Desmond to get back into the aminus. If you played and beaten AC: Revelations, you should know what I am talking about. Finish off the Desmond story with Desmond finally getting to the action, instead of watching his ancestors doing it. After that, do what ever the f*ck you want with the story, since the Desmond story would be over.

I totally agree. Desmond says he knows what they need to do, and the way he says it, I don't think that involves going back in the Animus.

The one thing I really want is to meet more of the modern day assassins. We've read about other groups, it's time to meet them.

Gonna post the ending, but seriously, if you're going to play Revelations, do not watch! It's so epic, it's easy to forget about any of the frustrations in any of the games.

I want the next game to be set in present times because the series has become repetitive and stale to me. ACB/R have both been massive disappointments most likely due to the added multiplayer. A modern day game would refresh the series a lot.

[IvoryX]

Yes you're all right about AC III in present, but a few looks to the past would not hurt IMO (just like Ezio did with Altair's keys)

[kamuran]

Could there be a new ancestor or is do you guys think it will just be in modern day playing only as Desmond?

[Marlowe.]

While it does appear to be setting up for a modern day adventure featuring Desmond, I find it hard to believe that there won't be a historical setting. Afterall, history is the games playground, and what seperates it from other games.
With the Bleeding Effect, Desmond could plausibly travel anywhere in his ancestors' history without an Animus. That would be cool.

[A White CJ]

I honestly wish the series would be rebooted from the start... I like the intrigue going on within the Animus, and the Templar/Assassin conspiracy and the idea of the Animus itself is okay with me, but the plot is getting so ridiculous! With every game it gets worse and worse. 2012 apocalypse, really?

It would feel weird, but I think I really would like it if Assassin's Creed would totally ditch the old storyline and start anew. They could keep broad strokes, but some things should be retconned....

Gameplay wise I want historical settings, definitely not future. The storyline does force a future game eventually, but the reason Assassin's Creed is special to me is the fact that it gives obscure time periods (obscure for gaming) love.

I really don't have an idea where III should be set. It has to be a time period that lends itself to swordplay, or at least allows for it. I liked how it jumps from the Middle East to Italia, totally different feels of architecture. How about Russia, India, or the Orient?

I'm thinking a large majority of the game will be modern day and as Desmond's story ends another time in history is revealed and we start all over again with another subject.

I can't see ACIII being the final game in the series. In saying that if the game does take place in modern day how would they handle it? Making it another shooter would be kind of boring, so I think Desmond will stick to the traditional methods of Altair and Ezio.

Judging from the end of Revelations, my guess is modern day New York.. Or possibly because of the rich history of conspiracy surrounding this time including supposed Templars and secret societies it could be New England during the American revolution.

But my primary hope is that they finally let us loose with Desmond.

I'm going to say that it will be like the Saboteur, but much better. Shooting would replace sword fighting, since sword fighting isn't really done anymore except for sport. Parkour would return, but will be slightly different.

At the end of Revelations Ezio leaves his hidden blades and sword with the second apple in Altair's library. At some point those have to make their way into somebody's hands, be it Desmond or another ancestor.

If they make it more stealthy, like the ability to use corner cover, then they could pull it off with Desmond not using guns. They can make it a hybrid of AC, Splinter Cell and Batman.

Well it was announced already that the next Assassins' Creed is most likely due for a December 2012 release and will be the "biggest Assassin's Creed to date"

Recent video i saw said that rumors are going around that it might take place in the American Revolutionary War because in one of the paintings in Assassins Creed 2, you see George Washington carrying an apple.
Honestly i think that would be f*cking awesome because i never experienced a full 3D gaming open world experience set in colonial times and i always wanted to. Of course its just a rumor but i seem to like it a lot. What are your thoughts?
