Assassin's Creed: Empire - 9 Settings That Would Be Way Better Than Ancient Egypt

Cast your mind back for a moment to AC: Brotherhood. Do you remember the contracts mini-game that formed a large part of the title? In it, you could send your Assassin initiates across Europe to carry out various assassination missions to help wrest control of the continent from the Templars, and one of those missions involved heading to England.

We know that fans have been missing Ezio for a while, so what better way to reintroduce that connection than to play as one of the Brotherhood's initiates heading to England on their first proper assignment? Better yet, why not tie that into Elizabeth I's ascension to the throne? Granted, it took place decades after Ezio's death, but It's certainly a rich setting - one that was alluded to in Syndicate as well. Add that to the fact that it would serve as the perfect bridge between the video games and films (there's that little event known as the Spanish Armada to address), and Elizabethan England grows more and more appealing by the day.

Plus, Christopher Marlowe is simply begging to be an Assassin. What's not to love about a part playwrite, part stabber of bad guys? Nothing, that's what.
