Assassin's Creed: Victory - 10 Locations Far Better Than London
6. Wild West
America has already been tapped as an AC location in the third numbered game in the series - and in last year's Rogue briefly - but Ubisoft unfortunately managed to squander the potential of the American Revolution and deliver a sub par experience. Why not redeem themselves by going full-on cowboy and sending us to the Wild West? You could take the best elements of ACIII - the exploration, combat and so forth, and wrap it up with the big gold rush (a secret front for Templar activities perhaps?) and you could even have a unique AC duel mechanic where your character uses a phantom blade or similarly-ingenious hidden projectile instead of a gun. Perhaps in this instance, your character came as a young man from England, looking for gold and chasing dreams in America as part of the gold rush. Coincidentally he ends up embroiled in a Templar and Assassin altercation, learning that the Templars plan to take America for themselves through an elaborate plot. Everyone loves a cowboy story and we'd be very surprised if this one hasn't been considered at some point as a location for the series.
