Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Assassin ’s Creed Shadowsis the newest game coming from Ubisoft , but we all have it off there will be another secret plan in the serial coming next . What that plot will be is anyone ’s guess at the bit , but there is one lay that would be the perfect follow - up . That setting , however , might already be crossed off the table because of Ubisoft ’s own old attempts at put a game there .
Assassin ’s Creed Shadowshas a new seat in the timeline , which gives them a lot of pick for sequels or prequels . It sits firmly in the 16th century , giving us a newfangled timeframe to play around in as well as a fresh setting . It open up a good deal of possibility and a lot of ways forrader , particularly after the last few games spent a lot of fourth dimension in ancientness . However , there is one prepare that stands out among the rest as the best possible move for Ubisoft to make .
Staying In The Far East Is A Good Step Forward
last out in the Far East would make the most gumption for the mainline games . In the past times , games have followed each other in similar function of the worldfor a few entries before moving on . The first few game took place around Italy , the next remove place in the Americas . The last few incoming have take station insimilar setting in antiquity , with the exception ofValhalla . Even so , Valhallawas still very thematically connected to the other recent games , and it felt like a good midpoint to get us to the sixteenth century .
Assassin ’s Creed Shadows is a significantly shorter game that its predecessors , and that ’s an important step that ’ll hugely benefit the series .
That said , stick around to the same side of the world would make a mountain of sense for the next entry afterAssassin ’s Creed Shadows . China has a bass account , and it could be near the same sentence period orat nearly any point in known history . Formosan game have had a openhanded impact on the gaming humankind of late , as see inBlack Myth Wukong , which could be an even unspoilt reason to go there as oppose to anywhere else on the same side of the cosmos .
To me , it just makes sense for this to be the next one , but I suppose there ’s one big reason why Ubisoft wo n’t go to China next , and it has to do with where Ubisoft has been in the past .
Assassin’s Creed Has Already Gone To China — Twice
No Mainline Games But Two Other AC Games Have Already Seen China
Assassin ’s Creed Jadeis an upcoming mobile gamebased in China in the 3rd Century BCE , which is at the time of the first unified empire in China . This intend thatyou will be exploring the area of China that was under the Qin dynasty . decent now , not that much is known , as it was delayed due to various issue . But it still remains that Ubisoft has already put a lot of campaign and work into this version of China that we will see in the mobile game .
However , there was an even earlier game put out for the Xbox One and PS4 . This wasAssassin ’s Creed Chronicles : China , released in 2015,and was set in 1526 - 1532 during the Ming dynasty . This already puts it very closely to the timeframe we see inAssassin ’s Creed Shadows , which makes the Leslie Townes Hope for a continuation in China a little low .
Two games already set in China , one of them around the same timeframe , seems likeit would force Ubisoft to take a different direction with the next game . There are other interesting locations nearby , but it seems unfortunate that their past game that were not as well - develop as a mainline biz would deflower the probability for a vainglorious secret plan congeal in China .

There’s Never Been A Better Time For An AC Game In China
The Gaming Market & The Setting All Point To China
Between the popularity ofBlack Myth Wukong , and the residue of the influx of the Taiwanese PC gaming market in general , this is the time to take vantage of that popularity and push the game into China . The gambling market in China is monolithic , which could explain the macrocosm ofAssassin ’s Creed Jade , but a strong mainline secret plan has a good deal of potential as well .
I personally would do it to play a mainline game in China after this . After all , the interconnectedness ofOrigins , Odyssey , andMiragewas really satisfying for me as I played through them . Having something similar in the Far Eastwould have the probability to have that same interconnection . I could even see a third game set in Persia or India . While there has also been a chronicles biz in India , there is sight of abstruse history there that could allow us to have a mainline secret plan there as well .
Trade routes were established on that side of the world for a very long fourth dimension , so there ’s no intellect that they could n’t have a strong connection . If they desire to hold off to utilize the China setting to have some clock time betweenJadeand a mainline secret plan , they could utilise India or Persia to sate that space before heading to China , but I in person want them to go to China first . I call up it would make sense for the games to slowly make their way back west from China .
Composers Joe Henson and Alexis Smith discuss a unique and terrifying feature included in Assassin ’s Creed Shadows involve Naoe ’s stealth power .
However , the handsome elephant in the way still stands . It find like Ubisoft might have suffer themselves on this one , with two big game in China already in creation . Assassin ’s Creed Jadeis a grown peregrine game , and it ’s coming out quite soon comparatively . It would be very unmatched for them to put out two games in China in a run-in , even if one of them was a mobile game . It already felt like thesetting in Japan happened a little too late , so a delay on a mainline China biz would be even more dissatisfactory .
It is what it is where that ’s interest , and I enjoy seeing different location and setting around the world no matter what . I trust we at least stay put in the Far East , even if it ’s not China . There are lot of selection and an ancient history to pull from , so there should n’t be any issues come up with a report . Ubisoft definitely missed the chance to some extent , but I will be excited to see what arrive next , even if it is n’t in China , afterAssassin ’s Creed Shadows .
