History WMG / AssassinsCreed

* John lassetter and the heads of Creator/{{Pixar}} were Templars, they do secretly have a POE to give them eternal life only to work by using [[TearJerker heart crushing moments]] in their movies they made (Like WesternAnimation/InsideOut, WesternAnimation/{{Up}} etc.) to fuel the Audience sadness to the Piece so they can live forever.

** Semi-Confirmed. One section in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate'' has you play as Jacob's grand-daughter, Lydia hunting spies in WW1 London.

*** Oh, cool, I never knew that. TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife after all!

TheSaboteur shares the [[RoofHopping building climbing]] of AC, has a car named Altaïr, and the trunk you need to steal from the Nazis could easily be a POE. It was outsourced to allow Ubisoft to create an AC in a different era, and keep it to a trilogy.

* South America, as there was a rumour about it a while ago. They already had one brief level set on Brazil in ACIII, maybe it was a hint of things to come? If so, I'm placing my bets on WarOfTheTripleAlliance and the overall mid-19th century powerplay on South America.

* HammerFall: Blatantly Templar propaganda. Vidic probably had "Bring The Hammer Down" playing when he raided the Assassins' hideout.

Or possibly SaintsRow.

* Nostradamus

[[WMG: AC4: Black Flag is not the actual Assassin's Creed 4 game]]

* Adding to this. One of the files you get in AC4 has Abstergo Entertainment talking about potential new settings. An ancestor from Desmond on his mother's side was involved with the Ashikaga shogunate, so it wouldn't be too far off.

* {{Jossed}} the fouth game, subtitled "Black Flag" takes place in during the colonisation of the Americas as a prequel to AC3.

* Jossed. Desmond dies in AC3, making it impossible for him to kill anyone.

Not in the traditional [=WoW=] style MMO RPG though. It'll be more like a massive multiplayer competitive sandbox. Maybe something like what ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' seems to be implying. Up to 30 players (or more) on small maps within huge city(cities?) chose either to play as Assassins or Templar, and occasional missions pop up where the assassins have to steal something or kill someone and templars have to stop them, or vice versa. Could make it work along the lines the multiplayer they have now, they did introduce team matches in AC3 after all. And they implied even after Desmond's story is finished it's not like the two groups are suddenly going to make buddy buddy.

The game would introduce new free-running abilities such as uncanny vertical jumps, running along walls for a short distance, and wall-jumps, the trade-off being that they draw a LOT of attention. There would also be side missions based on Sherlock Holmes stories and real British urban legends similar to the Frontiersman Tales in AC3, and would of course be called Mysteries.

[[WMG:One day qn AC game will let us customise our own modern day Protagonist.]]

* [[spoiler: Confirmed...although hints aside, you [[TheReveal don't find out]] Haytham Kenway is a Templar until the end of his segment in 3.]]

* Confirmed! ''Assassin's Creed Victory'', to be released in fall 2015 for next-gen consoles, is set in Victorian England.

** Renaissance: Ezio, Rodrigo, Cesare, Yusuf, Ahmet, possibly Mario, Machiavelli, Manuel Palaiologos, or La Volpe, Shao Jun

#12th Century England: This ''has'' to happen. Of course Robin Hood was an Assassin. It’s so obvious. And his Merry Men were his Assassin Brotherhood! It just fits together too well to be ignored. They could establish that the entire Robin Hood legend is based entirely on that era’s Assassin Brotherhood, and the main character could be Robin Hood himself. The battle against Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham is too perfect, because clearly John worked with or for the Templars.

#Great Depression: We ''all'' know those damn Templar robber barons caused the 1929 stock market crash - hell, maybe it was like the series finale of ''Series/Leverage''; just like [[Film/TheBigShort when the banks failed in 2007/8]], what if those fat cats caused it on purpose to [[http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2012/12/leverage-spoiler-alert-show-goes-out-on.html steal a significant percentage of the world's wealth?]] Hitch a ride west with the [[Literature/TheGrapesOfWrath Joad]] family and fight the power in California.

Well, let’s start coming up with plausible historical Templars. I'll start: UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln (assassinated by the assassin JWB, perhaps the Top Hat was a Piece of Eden), BillGates (Still Alive, POE: Unknown), Creator/TimBurton, meant to keep the masses entertained, stopped but not killed by the Assassin JS (killer of Batman Movie Franchise, Note, Burton fan, but this is WMG), The Founder Of TVTropes (not sure of his name). His POE is this website (the effects are... similar).

This would explain the the "precognition" of [[{{Precursors}} "Those Who Came Before"]]. This would also explain why Desmond and Adam are voiced by [[NolanNorth the same guy]].

* Western New England. Mostly cos I think that'd be awesome, but also because Desmond speaks with an accent indicative of someone of middle class background from west of Boston. And also cause [[NolanNorth his voice actor]] is from Connecticut.

* Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto. Because he's been running the video game industry from behind the scenes since VideoGame/DonkeyKong came out. POE: The NintendoDS. [[MemeticMutation The money it prints?]] IT'S AN ILLUSION! And he's able to pry into the POE and change its appearance every few years, leading up to it now being the prototype Nintendo3DS. Its visions also inspire his games: he doesn't need Super Mushrooms to make the next SuperMarioBros, he has a Piece of Eden!

Think about it. It explains the [[YouFailBiologyForever questionable aspects of]] 'GeneticMemory'. Desynchronization could just be a built-in failsafe against paradoxes. The bleeding effect would be due to his mind actually being there to absorb relevant information from his ancestors. It would also explain Minerva's knowledge of Desmond, as she is One Who Came Before and would therefore understand the Animus' time-travel properties.

** We'll be able to find out in the new ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'', since it is set in France, supposedly during the French Revolution.

** Wrong on the non-WMG parts. Lucy was just holding her finger to ''look'' as though she was missing her ring finger as a sort of secret handshake, and Ezio still has both ring fingers (you can tell because he wears a signet ring on one hand) as a result of LeonardoDaVinci's modifications to the hidden blade he uses.
*** In the mission where you get LeonardoDaVinci to repair the hidden blade bracer Ezio's father had hidden away Leonardo says that he's going to have to chop off Ezio's finger. It turns out he's joking as the design has been modified to make it possible to use with all finger attached.

Consider: Both are an ancient society of warriors who live in secret. Both are devoted to protecting ancient, advanced technology from those who would misuse it. LeonardoDaVinci is a member of both. Also, look at their logos. The [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101211024124/assassinscreed/images/thumb/e/ee/AssassinLogo.png/250px-AssassinLogo.png Assassin Insignia]] looks a lot like a very modified [[http://www.tylerclark12.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Delta.png Delta.]]

Think plot of ''TheLastStarfighter''. The Assassins in fact control Ubisoft in real life, and are using the games of the AC franchise to get the word out there about their war about the Templars and their secret war. The final game in the franchise will be specially tailored to each state/province/etc. where it's distributed, with contact information for local Assassin cells to contact as a hidden easter egg. Only the most serious and talented gamers will be able to access this easter egg, and thereby be recruited into the order.
