[[WMG: You won't kill Robespierre, but you will give him his infamous jaw injury ]]
Robespierre was very publicly (and loudly) executed by guillotine, so there's not much room there for the typical assassination that is so well known to the series. However, the day before his death, Robespierre attempted to evade capture with his followers and holed himself up at the Hotel de Ville. Eventually order broke down and the forces of the convention invaded the Hotel, finding Robespierre with a shattered jaw caused by a gunshot wound. There's even some dispute as to whether the wound was self inflicted or he was shot by another person. It could very well be that Arno will be the one to do it in this universe, although the reason why is still up in the air.

Eseosa, Adewale's son with Bastienne, as revealed in Initiates, fought in the Haitian Revolution which erupted at near about the same time as the FrenchRevolution. Toussaint L'Ouverture was an Assassin who was eventually executed in France but is revered in Haiti as OurFounder. The situation in Haiti was of obvious concern to the Revolutionaries. Robespierre outright abolished slavery by constitution, the very first man to do so politically in the Western World, several years before abolitionism took effect in England and much before it happened in America.

[[WMG: Connor will appear]]
He will be involved via his ship Aquila in the Quasi War where the American government essentially refused to recognize the young French Revolutionary government and essentially placed it under embargo. This caused the government to hire several privateers to seize American merchant ships by force, an action which the Americans could do little about since it did not have a navy as yet. Indeed this event led them to create their own navy. Connor, an ex-Privateer and Revolutionary will obviously be caught in the middle.

Though Versailles isn't part of Paris proper, it would make a good backdrop for the free-running gameplay of Assassin's Creed. I'm sure the assassin protagonist will find his/her way there for at least one mission.
[[WMG: There are actually four Assassin protagonists in the game.]]
With the latest trailers' focus on co-op gameplay, the possibility of there being multiple protagonists is definitely there (with one primary protagonist you play as in single-player mode). Maybe each assassin will have his or her own special abilities.

** Not sure if Napoleon's rising is a great tragic irony compared to say the Russian Revolution. Napoleon was a product of the Revolution itself. His rise through the military ranks and creation of his famous army was the result of the changes in the class and ranking system instituted by the Revolution itself and he created the Napoleonic Code. His conquest and his example, and his army, spread the ideals of the Revolution across Europe. He was regarded as a hero by many liberals of the time and was by no means some simple bad guy on the scale of Stalin or Mao.

* Robespierre initially was very fair and tolerant, a signatory of the Declaration of Rights of Man, the first diplomat in the Western World to abolish slavery in an act of law(Before America and England) and generally considered an embodiment of revolutionary principles. His extremes against the aristocrats who he guillotined are largely an overreaction, though not inaccurate and definitely did happen. He was more Assassin than Templar certainly. And if the series were fair, they would try and restore his HiddenDepths. Marat and Saint Just were more ruthless.
