Assassin's Creed Comet: 5 Most Believable Rumours We Want To Be True

3. A Link Between Assassin's Creed III And Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag?

The timing suggested by fans for this would be to fit Comet in between AC3 and Black Flag. When you combine that suggestion with the supposed location, then you end up with only one possibility for the background to the story €“ and here is where all the rumours begin to make sense. The French and Indian War took place between 1754 and 1763 and one of the theatres of the Seven Years War between the European Powers. The British Empire and it's allies were on one side, and the French and it's allies on the other. In AC3, the Templars supported the British Empire during its rise as a global power, and the story of the French Empire's fall from grace in the colonies would link into the Revolutionary story to be shown in Unity quite well. Furthermore, the main battleground of the French and Indian War was around the North Eastern seaboard of America €“ precisely where the rumoured location is. Also, such a setting around allow for Ubisoft to reuse graphics created for both AC3 and 4, which in turn could explain how they might be able to produce two Assassin's Creed games in the same timeframe that would normally result in them developing one. Considering the setting further, could Comet in fact have been a DLC for AC3 that kept getting larger until they realised they had an entirely separate game on their hands?
