Assassin's Creed: Empire - 9 Settings That Would Be Way Better Than Ancient Egypt
4. Tsarist Russia
Though we did get to see the Russian Revolution through another one of those spin-off titles, we're yet to get an in depth look at Russian history through an Assassin's lens. If you're looking for a great place to start, then the rules of Alexander II and III are as good as any.
Of course, dear old Alexander (son of Nicholas) was assassinated in 1881 by the revolutionary anarchist group, 'The People's Will'. Indeed, his rule established a revolutionary atmosphere that would later prove to be emblematic of modern Russian history, and who better to instigate that than the Assassins themselves?
A title that took place during this era would have to be morally ambiguous, perhaps depicting an early alliance with Alexander in order to expedite the emancipation of Russia's serfs, only for it to sour in the months leading to his death. The notorious Russian Winter simply has to make it to Assassin's Creed sometime or another, and there's no better time to tackle it than during the twilight of the Tsars.
