5. England - Middle Ages
The Middle Ages is a time period just waiting to be picked clean by the AC franchise. Although we've dabbled in this before in the first ever game, we've never seen Medieval England in all its glory. There's so much here that could potentially be seen, ranging from the economy collapse at the end of the Roman Empire of to a huge, all-out war with the Vikings. This period is well known for being a time of transition, where law and order broke down and fights between nations were always at the forefront. Why not also add the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars into the mix? Of course, this time period is also very much all about myths and legends. Could we perhaps see King Arthur and his knights, or maybe even hear rumours of a dragon (which would probably be a side mission where a Piece of Eden/Animus Glitch spawns the beasts. Maybe we could even make our own attempt at removing the sword-in-the-stone (a reward for completing a series of missions perhaps, or alternatively another Piece of Eden?). Perhaps a return of sea battles with the Vikings wouldn't go amiss either.
