10 Settings Assassin's Creed Could Go To Next
10. The Silk Road
The Silk Road was less a specific location and more a historical occurrence that combined many different cultures through trade. Although it doesn't sound too exciting, there is a tonne of potential to be found in this setting.
This trade route connected the east to the west and was a defining cultural moment for many places including China, Korea, Persia, East Africa and Southern Europe - among many others. The trade route was not limited only to silk but also many different products, and even religion. It was a hub of political and cultural significance, and would therefore be a perfect fit for the franchise.
Assassin's Creed has never delved into such a melting-pot of culture like this before, and it would undoubtedly be a challenging area to adapt. Still, if they managed to do well, it would be ground-breaking and allow for a less known period of history to be revealed to the west.
Plus this location would allow The Great Wall of China to be included, which is something players would love to climb, and could feature historical names like Marco Polo and Genghis Khan.
