David Hilton, OXCGN's resident historian, the one who accurately predicted the current location of Assassin's Creed 2, looks at where Assassin's Creed might well venture to in their next iteration.

Ubisoft have already begun work on the following game, so where do you think they will be heading, come check out David's predictions and vote for your time period.

With Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 2 achieving great first-week sales of 1.6 million units worldwide, a 32 percent increase on the original medieval action stealth title, which sold around 1.1 million copies the first week in 2007, I’ve decided to jump the gun a bit and explore where and when the inevitable third Assassin’s Creed game could take place.

Ubisoft have chosen very well for their first two titles and so they must think very carefully (if they have not already decided) [Ed: which they already have, but just haven't let on about] about the setting of the next installment, especially now that they’ve got the game’s mix of free-running action and mission diversity right this time.

Here is Part 1 of my list of possible time periods and settings that I’ve come up with after pondering the possibilities through the filter of my past education in history. I’d really like to know which one you, as fellow gamers, think would fit the Assassin’s Creed style.
