Take this with a pinch of salt, but rumors have started to float around about the setting of the next Assassin’s Creed game, which will reportedly take place in China or feudal Japan. Both locations are highly requested among fans.
Next Assassin’s Creed Game Location Hinted At
While nothing has been confirmed yet, this rumour does have a bit more weight to it as it’s not simply coming from some bloke down the pub. Instead, we have two pieces of concepts art from Ubisoft Montreal concept artist John Bigorgne via his ArtStation profile, which seem to indicate a China/Japan setting.
Furthermore, ArtStation previously leaked concept art for the Viking-themed Assassin’s Creed Valhalla two years before the game was announced, so it’s got a solid track record. You can check out the concept art below.
The concept art was posted about three years ago, which would suggest that the new Assassin’s Creed game featuring this setting would come out in 2022, following post-launch support for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. This will presumably begin a new trilogy for the series following Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is scheduled for release on PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One on November 10.
