Het speculeren over de setting van Assassin’s Creed 5 kan beginnen! Volgens Jade Raymond, managing director bij Ubisoft Toronto, speelt de game zich niet af in Japan, al zou dat volgens haar wel een leuke setting zijn. Daarnaast liet ze los dat het nieuwe deel in de franchise zich afspeelt in haar favoriete tijdperk.
Ondertussen is er op Reddit het onderstaande persbericht verschenen dat vanuit Ubisoft zijn uitgelekt, het bericht meldt dat Assassin’s Creed 5 zich af zal gaan spelen ten tijde van de industriële revolutie. De kans dat dit persbericht echter daadwerkelijk van Ubisoft afkomstig is, lijkt zeer onaannemelijk en het is dus ook het beste om dit gerucht maar met een korreltje zout te nemen:

Paris, France – 04 Mar 2014Today, Ubisoft announced Assassin’s Creed® V, the next major release in the award winning, best-selling franchise. Assassin’s Creed V serves as the introduction to an all new hero, setting and gameplay mechanics as the Assassin’s Creed franchise hits a new era.
Assassin’s Creed V has been in the development cycle for almost three years, at Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Toronto with development support from Ubisoft studios at Annecy, Quebec and Montpellier. Assassin’s Creed V will release on the PlayStation®4 from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. The game will release worldwide on November 4, 2014.
In the events of the ongoing Industrial Revolution, Assassin’s Creed V follows the story of Samuel Fey, as he enters the Assassin Order in a time of change and Templar rule. Fey is a successful and respectful entrepreneur, who works outside the corrupt law to guarantee the security of his own and others’ futures. Taking place during the closing years of the Industrial Revolution in Victorian London, players will explore all new locales as they uncover the truth behind the hidden ongoing rebellion.
Assassin’s Creed V is the turning point for the franchise, featuring completely revised stealth and combat mechanics, powered by the next-generation Ubisoft AnvilX engine and all-new gameplay features and systems. While Assassin’s Creed acts as Ubisoft’s rescope for the franchise, it maintains the key touch points that the series is built upon.
