Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag director would love for series to visit Egypt

Assassin's Creed

As we have learned with the Assassin’s Creed franchise, the series is aiming for an annual release with most having a different setting from the last. The latest installment, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is set in the Caribbean, but the game’s director Ashraf Ismail has weighed in on where he would like to see a future game in the series be set.

I’m not saying we are going there, but one day I would love to explore Egypt as a setting for this game. Ancient Egypt could be a really cool place. We have a really cool explanation for how we can do this, and it is with this Animus device that allows us to go to anytime in history.

Ismail makes a point to say that this is just what he would like to see, but if someone involved with the game would like it, you would think it’s at least a decent possibility for a new location. As he mentions, the Animus allows the franchise to go anywhere they want, especially with Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag being set before Assassin’s Creed 3. This means that a game in Egypt could be set way back in the past.

I love this franchise and personally really like the idea of seeing one set in Egypt at some point. This would allow for lots of cool exploration moments.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will be available on November 29 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. A release will follow for PC on November 19 and at launch for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
