Forget Call of Duty’s Take on the Period, Assassin’s Creed Fans Want 1 Period More Than Any Other (and It’s Not World War 2)

Beyond being one of the most successful franchises in video game history, Assassin’s Creed hasn’t been able to fully satisfy its players with its recent titles. This is why the community is always alert and ready to propose new ideas for a new game in the IP, as well as what time period it could be based on. 

Following the path of Call of Duty, a Reddit user suggested setting one of the Assassin’s Creed games during the Cold War period. Many fans were fascinated by this idea, as it would be an intriguing way to use spies.

As Always, the Assassin’s Creed Community is Ready to Recommend Ideas for a New Game

Since its original release in 2007, the Assassin’s Creed saga has changed the industry forever by offering a unique narrative where the player could freely move through an ancient era thanks to technology.

This became more popular with each new installment, and fans never seemed to tire of receiving new games that allowed them to explore different historical periods in a unique and original way.

Even though some games were not as well received by fans, the community of the franchise always proposes new ideas for the studio to use.

In a recent Reddit post, a user submitted something quite interesting, which would bring the saga much closer to modern times, leaving behind the concept of traveling to very ancient periods. These modern conflicts have a ton of content and background to offer and would likely be better received by the fans.

Just Like Call of Duty, This Period of History Is More Than Fascinating to Portray

This particular user was referring to the Cold War. This conflict never fully materialized.

An Assassin’s Creed game would find this conflict to be highly captivating. Call of Duty has already adopted this era and done quite well in several of its titles.

In the Assassin’s Creed saga, the protagonist could be a spy who must adapt to infiltrate enemy territory to prevent armed conflicts from escalating to an irreversible point.

One thing that this franchise has not yet dared to do is set a game in a more modern era that doesn’t involve traveling to the distant past. Various fans of the IP have been asking about these kinds of more modern-era games.

For now, Ubisoft is focusing on successfully launching Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This game will arrive in October and will finally allow players to try out a feudal Japan title set.

The game will feature two protagonists, a shinobi known as Naoe, and the samurai Yasuke, who will fight in different ways to achieve a common goal. The franchise needs a more solid game to regain the faith of its fans.
