After years of speculation and desire for a Japanese setting, fans are finally about to explore feudal Japan in an Assassin’s Creed game. While Shadows is shrouded in controversies, particularly regarding the choice of protagonist, there’s no denying that it has created a buzz in the community.

As we are closing on its release on March 20th, fans are already casting their eyes toward the future. The community is already making predictions about the next setting for the series, sparking debates and fueling creativity.
Fans can’t wait to see where Assassin’s Creed will go next

At the heart of every Assassin’s Creed game lies the fundamental conflict between the Assassins and the Templars, two factions that have been at odds for millennia.
While this ongoing war is fascinating and engaging, what truly captivates players is the chance to step into these historical settings. The opportunity to engage in the series’ signature stealth, parkour, and combat mechanics in a new and exciting location is a big part of why the games are so beloved.
With Shadows, players will finally get to experience the long-awaited Japanese setting. This setting promises to offer a unique and thrilling backdrop with intricate landscapes, from its beautiful temples to its dense forests, coupled with its rich culture of samurai and ninjas.
As Shadows inches closer to its release, the excitement around its Japanese setting continues to build. However, the Assassin’s Creed community is nothing if not forward-thinking, and the speculation about the next setting is already in full swing.

The community is going wild on the speculation. Players continue to debate which historical period or location would make the most sense next, this shows that the series’ appeal is deeply rooted in its ability to bring history to life (through the eyes of an assassin or maybe Templar, who knows what Ubisoft might do next).
There are still more locations to explore

Over the decade, the Assassin’s Creed series has taken players on a remarkable journey through time, offering them immersive settings that span various civilizations and time periods.
From the bustling streets of Renaissance Italy to the vast seas of the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, players have had the opportunity to step into pivotal moments of history.
Each setting in the series has something unique to offer: detailed environments, the integration of historical events, and, of course, the ongoing conflict between the Assassins and Templars. This blend of history and fiction is where the franchise shines.
Players are already speculating where the series might go next. Among the most exciting possibilities are China and the Aztec Empire. Both settings offer rich historical backgrounds and opportunities to introduce new gameplay elements.
On one side, the ancient Chinese dynasties, with their legendary warriors, vast landscapes, and intricate philosophies. On the other hand, the Aztec Empire, with its complex rituals, societal structure, and the dramatic fall of Tenochtitlan.
Both locations have the potential to offer fresh new perspectives on the Assassins vs. Templars conflict, bringing new tactics, weapons, and warriors to the table (hopefully not controversial ones).
In the end, wherever Ubisoft chooses to take the series next, one thing is clear: players are ready for another chapter of history, with new Assassins, new narratives, and new worlds to conquer.
