Not even a year has passed since the launch ofUbisoft’sAssassin’s Creed Valhallaand it seems that the fanbase is already very interested about where the nextAssassin’s Creedgame will be set. In a recent interview, the senior writer ofAC Valhalla, Alain Mercieca, was asked about his thoughts and preferences about the topic, possibly giving fans a hint on the next possible location for the popular action-adventure stealth franchise.
TheAssassin’s Creedseries has been known throughout its history for its penchant to be based on particularlyprominent locations around the world with plenty of historical figures, depending on which part of the story is being told. InAssassin’s Creed Odysseyfor example, the game was set in Ancient Greece, and had the protagonist exploring their relationship with Greek gods and political figures. Recently,Assassin’s Creed Valhallatakes the adventure to the land of the Vikings, telling the story of a powerful Norse warrior that had mysteriously ended up on England’s shores.

In the interview with TheGamer, Mercieca seemed pretty interested in the setting and history of South America, a location that theAssassin’s Creedseries does not seem to have heavily explored yet. He does state that though thepirate-themed titleAssassin’s CreedBlack Flagwas able to touch upon some of South America’s areas, he has his eyes set specifically on the region of Brazil. Fans will likely recall thatBlack Flagwas mostly based in and around the Caribbean and its islands, showcasing the golden age of Piracy at the time.
Mercieca also briefly mentioned Incas and Spanish Conquistadors, possibly hinting at his interest in that specific time of South American history. However, in the same interview, he was also excited about a possibleAssassin’s Creedtitle based on the small island of Malta. With Mercieca’s self-proclaimed obsession with history, fans should take his statements lightly, and only consider them to be true once there are official announcements coming from Ubisoft.
WithAssassin’s Creed Valhallacoming out with its first post-launchDLC expansion Wrath of the Druidsthis April 29, current players will likely have less time to guess about the location of the next game in the series. As speculations continue to abound within the fanbase and theAssassin’s Creedcommunity, fans are likely hoping that these talks and interviews with official Ubisoft writers such as Mercieca will lead to some truth behind the many rumors circling the series.
