Where do you see the story of AC going? I haven't finished 2 yet, and obviously few people know what happens in Brotherhood. So this is really in the grand scope of things

Will there be more after Brotherhood? And if so, what genre will it be?

I love the Italian Rennesiance as a setting, and Ezio is an awesome character, so if they are going to drop that storyline, they had better have a good replacement and a good end to Ezio's story. I really didn't mind dropping Altair at the end of AC1. His story wasn't that compelling and there was already a cliche ending. But in order to move on from Ezio's storyline, Ubisoft really has to give some good resolution to his plot in Brotherhood (or whatever the last Italian AC game is)

So, assuming Ubisoft moves on from Ezio's story and continues the Assassin's creed series- Where do you want to go next? They pick really good settings, so it'd have to match the previous two. I've heard rumors and people's suggestions, so here are a few:

1. Asia/Oriental? Ninjas, Samurai and stuff? I dunno, it's a stretch. Not nearly as classical feeling as the other two areas. But I can see why people would like it. But I really think it's too popular of a setting (maybe not in games) to pick.

2. French Revolution? Sort of similar in some regards to AC2's time period. Just a few hundred years later again :P I love this time period. Weapons are advanced enough to allow limited access to new weapons (Muskets, for instance? Should AC make the jump into firearms? Or maybe just experimentally, such as the hidden gun in Ac2) but it's also old enough to still use classics like the hidden blade. Architecture is different, but the city is still given a similar style with bustling streets, guards, etc.

3. My friend suggested American Revolution. Personally, I think this is too... eh. Not obscure enough. Still offers new stuff, much like the French Revolution.

4. WWII/Modern. I've heard this before. Please don't do it.

5. Ancient Rome? Who says we can't go further back? It's in Italy again, though. But there is still some potential there.

Anyway. Long post. In short

1. Will AC continue?

2. Will Ezio's Storyline continue?

3. If not, what will the next setting be?

Let me put it nice and simple. Ezio will get married to the love of his life, who will then stab him in his back while they are standing on the roof, so he falls off and dies.

And I am very serious.

After knowing the ending of Assassin's Creed 2, I'm guessing the next AC after Brotherhood ( if it's still going to continue ) would most probably focus on Desmond rather than going back to ancestral memories.

Hopefully, but I doubt it, it will most likely be somewhere in Europe, maybe England or something, but we'll see. Maybe they'll even focus on Desmond and we'll play in a modern city. That was seriously, but frankly the story is going nowhere, and the game is progressing even worse, all games were boring but AC was decent, 2 was mediocre at best and if they'll continue to make em like this then 3 will be horrible.

Brotherhood continues Ezio's story... The game after that, who knows. My guess would also be feudal Japan. Simply because AC1 and AC2 settings were so different and you have to restore 6 statues in AC2 with their medallions, one of which was a japanese warrior, which looked the most interesting.

If it takes place on feudal Japan they the final boss of the gamer must be The Shedder Orokusaki! I would like to fight against the Shredder Foot Ninjas. They must focus on the story of the Shredder if they are going to make a game in feudal japan. Shredder was the most powerful man in Japan you know. Also, i heard that Assasin creed is based on real events is that true? Ezio Borgia and all the other people you meet in Assasin creed (good and bad ones) were real people right?

Patarn

1. AC will coontinue because first of all the games are a hit and secondly because they said the games will be a trilogy.

2. Ezio's storyline doesn't end after brotherhood. Ubi is making a DS game called Lost Legacy in whivh Ezio goes to Masyaf to learn more stuff about Altair and the Order.

3. Few settings come to my mind like Feudal Japan or maybe Russia. Victorian England and the French Revolution would be really cool but i just don't see the series going there because ranged weapons aren't as cool as sneaking in for the kill with your little blade(s).

Also for a possible setting there is Africa because i think i remember that Lucy was speaking about Subject 16's obsession with places like the Middle East , Italy and Africa.

In Brotherhood you'll play as Ezio, but if there's an AC3 you probably won't be playing as him.

You see, the true story isn't about Altair and Ezio, but about Desmond.

At some point Desmond will have to use the skills acquired from the memories to defeat the Templars. But AC has always been about playing through historical times so a whole game set in a future city does not really fit. My prediction is that the next game will have 2 settings, one past, the other Desmond's time, and the game will switch between the 2

The people in Assassins Creed were mostly real historical figures but the story itself was a complete work of fiction

nowhere, they tried so hard but all they did was make the game even more boring than the gameplay gets about halfway through.

AC's developper has been interviewed and said that japanese people doesn't want AC to take place in their cultural history. The next AC may take place around mediterranean sea as the 2nd opus

Keeping it as spoiler free as possible, the ending of AC2 has led me to believe that the next game after brotherhood will look a lot like this:

Only with good graphics and future setting with Desmond as the main character, but the story will be... almost identical to this.

I think that the third Assassin's Creed will have future-city stuff for the most part, with some historical things. Kind of the opposite of the previous two games, the historical parts being something that Desmond will be forced into as a result of the memories "Bleeding through" as we saw in the first game (and to a less extent in the second.) Where the historical parts will take place is anyone's guess, but I personally think they will switch between Ezio and Altair.

Based on the endings of AC2, Demsond and Subject 16 (or was it 17?) will be the focus.

I don't think it'll be a modern city in modern times, they can go anywhere, any time period, so why waste it on a modern city. I don't think the fans would like it either.

Yea, but AC3 is pretty much shaping to be modern day.

Desmond with Altair and Ezio's skills killing those other guys.That's pretty much how I see it.

I'm hoping for something set in the early cultures of Meso-America or South America like the Incans or Mayans.
