10 Places Assassin's Creed Could Go After Valhalla

10. The American Civil War

Cool! This isn't going to be controversial at all!

A lot of people drag Assassin's Creed 3, arguing that it wasn't the AC we knew and loved, because it lacked big, ornate cities. That's a perfectly reasonable argument, but consider this: maybe, just maybe, the game was simply made too soon.

The way the original games handled didn't really lend themselves to forest and mountain exploration, which made up the bulk of AC3. But imagine the game with the mechanics of an RPG, like Origins and Odyssey. Doesn't that seem like a much better fit?

Unless Ubisoft completely remasters AC3, the only way we'll get to explore the historic U.S. is if we go to the Civil War, which, thematically, wouldn't be a bad setting. The battle between the Assassins and the Templars has always been about freedom vs. control, and whether or not you want to believe it, the Civil War WAS about slavery (not states' rights), at least on the part of the Confederacy. That's a perfect point of contention for Assassins. John Brown, anyone?

Throw in groups like the Redeemers and the Knights of the Golden Circle, and you've got yourself some of AC's signature secret society intrigue.
