This leaves pretty much all of late-modernity with untapped potential for the series.
This means there are clearly stories to tell taking place more recently than in the 1800s.
The setting has even been used for a similarly styled open-world game before withThe Saboteur.
We could see Easter eggs about Arno and what punch in of legacy he left for the French Assassins.
Occupied France would also offerthe perfect way to include the Assassins as part of the French Resistance.
The Maquis were an assorted band of resistance fighters in France who used guerilla tactics to oppose the Nazis.
Including the Assassins, or at least an Assassin, as part of the Marquis would make total sense.
The setting also has the perfect role for the Assassins' rivals, the Templars.
It, too, depicts the Templars being embedded in the Nazi forces, this time specifically in France.
I can understand some of the arguments why players would want theAssassin’s Creedfranchiseto avoid becoming too modernized.
