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

One of the absolute best things about the upcoming Assassin's Creed film isn't the stellar cast and crew, but the fact that it's taking the series in a completely different direction. I don't think anyone could refute the fact that a straight up adaptation of the games would've been a major mistake on Ubi's behalf, but hey ho, we now have a brand new AC time period to explore, so it's all good.

Medieval Spain, however, was so much more than the Inquisition; under Fernando and Isabella - the Catholic Monarchs of Aragon and Castille - the Spanish Kingdom witnessed change at a breakneck pace, founding an American Empire in 1492 and, in the same year, conquering Granada and issuing a decree expelling the Jewish populace from the country.

Yeah, 15th century Spain wasn't really a great place to be.

However, that does not negate just how blatantly rich the era was. As we learn more about Michael Fassbender's Callum Lynch and, more importantly, his Assassin lineage in the forthcoming film, it's clear that audiences will be dying to know what comes next.
