OXCGN looks at more possible places and time periods for Assassin's Creed 3, including modern and ancient time options, in great detail, giving historical background for each period. Which do you like?

When and where will Assassin’s Creed 3 take place? In Part 1 I outlined four possible options and now with Part 2 we will look at several more.

With so many clues revealed through codex, ’subject 16′ revelations, symbols on walls, Pieced of Eden locations, and 6 statues in the Tuscan villa, Ubisoft could be directing us to the next instalment, or just throwing around a lot of food for conjecture.

    after the end of AC2, i figured next game we will actually play as Desmond cause he now seems to have all the abilities himself. and because of modern transportation, instead of going to different cities close together such as in Italy, you could go to different cities in different countries.

        they could pull a National Treasure and have Desmond exploring DC, Philadelphia, and other places having to do with the birth of America.

    Assassin's Creed 3: Newfoundland would be incredibly awesome.

    Philadelphia? Newfoundland? Vancouver?

    Do you really want to play a game that takes place in modern North America? When you have all of history and the world to play with? Lack of imagination or what.

    And seriously I thought National Treasure and Dan Brown's Lost Symbol book were dull compared with other 'conspiracy' stories overseas in locations with longer history.

    Why cant they do two? First half of the game is in the animus, the other half as desmond in modern times. Im really liking the Spanish Inquisition

        Spain would be an interesting setting, as would the French revolution - that said, way too much Europe (though I loves me some Europe.) One of the great things about AC2 was the nod to a culturally diverse group of assassins that have passed down the code (spoiler alert/hint - to get the final armor set) so it would be great to see some non-european locales (China, Korea, RUSSIA) but that would break the Desmond lineage (unless he is a mut)...

    i just had an awesome idea. the first part could be in the animus, but the majority should be as Desmond. the clincher is that you revisit the modern version of all the cities explored in the past 2 games, or at least what now remains of them if they dont exist today as they did back then. so you go back to Tuscany, Venice, Rome, Acre, etc as Desmond in order to locate certain objects that for some reason didnt/couldnt exist in the animus' version of those cities. since the animus cities were based on Altair and Ezio's memories of them, you would have to find things that they either ignored or didnt notice and therefore didnt exist in the animus.

    and perhaps, you would have to jump back and forth from the real world and the animus in order to triangulate the location of an object.

    The more I think about it, the more reasonable it is to think that AC3 is going to deal with the modern world. Basically, at the end of the game the objective is to, in a nutshell, save the world.

    The first AC had the player find out details of what was actually going on. The second AC had the player turn Desmond into an assassin comparable to Ezio which was the whole point of it and at the same time the player found out some freakin crazy stuff.

    Now at this point the goal is to actually stop the Templars and this... other threat. I think there may be a few points where the Animus may be required in the 3rd game, but I think it'll be a minor portion of the game compared to doing things in the modern world. Whatever happens though, we know Ubisoft is going to make it awesome at least.
