Yeah yeah, I'm noticing a theme developing here too.

The legacy of Assassin's Creed: Chronicles will ultimately be one of disappointment; not just because of the series' lacklustre gameplay, but because it failed to take advantage of some of the brightest and most interesting time periods in modern history. Medieval China, the British Raj, the Russian Revolution - none of them were given the proper treatment they deserved, and it's why they all need a redo.

The father of Syndicate's Henry Green, Arbaaz Mir, was the primary protagonist of Chronicles: India. Whilst he was the hero of an incredibly colourful spin-off (one of the title's few saving graces), we need more of him and that amazing setting.

As far as dramatic set pieces go, they don't get any better than the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Add to that an intriguing Assassin/Templar conflict revolving around the East India Company, and you could have the best AC title yet.
