Assassin’s Creed Origins has been a massive hit for Ubisoft and is one of the best installments in the franchise to date. The setting of ancient Egypt was both unique and a bold new direction for the franchise, opening up many more gameplay opportunities in the process. The website comicbook.com has cited sources close to Ubisoft who claim that the next game in the Assassin’s Creed series will take place in ancient Greece, which is equally as unique, maybe moreso, than Egypt. The rumor states that the game is slated for a 2019 release date.
While this is a rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt, there are some aspects of Origins that hint that Greece may be the next locale for the game’s successor. There are signs of Greek architecture as well as cultural aspects of the Greeks as well in Origins.
Regardless of where the next Assassin’s Creed takes place, Ubisoft is on a roll with the franchise and while this may be the next installment in the series, the next game has the potential to be even better. 2019 does seem rather soon, but it could be shown off at E3, which would make it feasible.
