I don't care where on earth the place gonna takes, I just want a new instalment and a better storyline.

Rumor Water: Assassin’s Creed heads to American Revolution

 

The exciting switch to the 18th century conflict will mark the series’ ‘biggest instalment yet’, according to Ubisoft, and our insider indicates the game will be publicly showcased before the end of the company’s fiscal year on March 31.

The American setting was first hinted in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’s ‘Da Vinci Disappearance’ DLC, which drip-fed players a set of coordinates leading to New York state, USA.

Another hint featured in the ending of latest series entry, Revelations, when a futuristic globe hovered over the US (pictured).

Perhaps the biggest indication though came late last year, when a Ubisoft survey asked fans where they’d like to see Assassin’s Creed go next. The options included, “The confrontation between British colonists and native Americans during The American Revolution.”

The setting of course opens up all kinds of historical crossover possibilities for the series, including encounters with George Washington, who according to Assassin’s Creed lore is in possession of an Apple of Eden.
