Female lead and WWII for Assassin’s Creed III? |

With Assassin’s Creed II poised to hit consoles this holiday season, the creative minds at Ubisoft have already shifted focus to the next game in the series. And some of the ideas being bandied about include having a female protagonist and a World War II setting for the third Assassin’s Creed.
During an interview with Xbox World 360, producer Sébastien Puel said that Ubisoft has been thinking of possible ways to have a lady assassin succeed Ezio. One way could be setting Assassin’s Creed III in Europe during WWII. Puel explains, “If you’re talking about, say, World War II the economies in England and France were run by women because the men were off fighting. So maybe in this context you were a woman in England during WWII.” It makes sense, but surely, there must be other solutions to explain the existence of a heroine in the Assassin’s Creed series. Last time we checked, we were pretty sure there wasn’t a whole lot of clamor among gamers to have more games set in the WWII era.

Oh HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLL NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! If they did that I would never buy it. I don’t want to play as some female during World War 2. They need to do something like make one set in Japan and your a ninja. I’m sure they could find a way to tie that in, that would be pretty awesome. Maybe even make it so you can meet and interact with other ninja like Hanzo Hattori or Sasuke(the real historic one, not the naruto character), and with various samurai, and are able to influence things among the warring states.

Thats not the best idea either. We have had ninjas before!
That French Revolution idea was genius. We need more of that!

That is gay. No-one likes ninjas and no-one would buy the game. But then again WW2 sucks as well.

umm… england wasn’t a single country in WW2 and hasn’t been since before 1707. It’s kind of ignorant and insulting of you to say that, as i’m a proud brit and have lived here all my life.
BRITAIN fought germany in WW2, WW1…. there’s a reason why many call our country Britain and not just England. Because Britain is actually 2 countries! Scotland and England.
“On 1 May 1707, the Kingdom of Great Britain was created by the political union of the Kingdom of England (which included Wales) and the Kingdom of Scotland. This event was the result of the Treaty of Union that was agreed on 22 July 1706, and then ratified by both the Parliament of England and Parliament of Scotland each passing an Act of Union in 1707.”
England might have a bigger population that the other countries within Britain but it doesn’t mean we should be ignored and excluded. British history and everything related to Britain has included Scotland AND England. The british military, navy, airforce is called british for a reason… because it consists of BRITISH people. And regardless what part of britain you’re from (scotland, england, wales, northern ireland) you are considered british.
So it’s VERY offensive, to continually define Britain as just England over and over again. You New Yorkers just never learn do you? new york joined the war with britain didn’t they…
Oops, sorry… was I being ignorant? I forgot… the USA consists of more places than just New York… mybad? /sarcasm

I want the French Revolution. Makes the most sense. Playing as a woman and during WW2? Makes no sense. When have we ever seen anything set during the French Revolution? I can’t think of any games; while there are tons of WW2 games out there.

Why not just give us Desmond in modern times for the third game? I really have a suspicion (which will probably be wrong) that that’s what we’re going to see in the final game.
