Forums - Gaming - [Kotaku] Next year's big Assassin's Creed is set in Victorian London UPDATE: Confirmed real by Ubisoft!

Ah, an untouched setting. Genius. I just had a revolutionary idea: please Ubisoft, add steampunk elements, makes the idea even more original.

We all know Ubisoft have a marketing deal with Xbox. So is it coincidence that leaked pic was from Xbox One? I believe Ubisoft leaked it on purpose.



Wow that's incredible news. Although I would have preferred somewhere in Asia. Kinda tired of European cities.

Way better than Revelations imo.  I would rank the best AC's as ACII > ACIV > ACIII=ACB > All others.

Exact same as my rankings. Haven't played Unity yet so can't compare it to the others just yet.


:D   Yeah I might get unity when it is $5 on steam or PSN, but otherwise this may be the first AC I skip...



lot of fog, yeah is it London at that era is really that fogy, or maybe they want to make the games running smooth with frames rate Lol so they cover the distant view with fog

I think it's actually smog created by the large number of factories in London at the time, not fog. As for rather or not it's accurate, most of the movies I've seen that were set in Victorian London had alot of smog/fog in them, so I'm guessing it's accurate.

Edit: Just looked it up on Wikipedia, it's historically accurate: Severe episodes of smog continued in the 19th and 20th centuries, mainly in the winter, and were nicknamed "pea-soupers".

Even now the city has a lot of pollution and is still quite dirty.

Bleh going the wrong way in time. Give me ancient sea battles, The forbidden city or Varanasi.

Well the funy thing is,  London and UK as general is the top ten best tourism place in the world, i guess that's not a big deal, if you compare with Guangzo and most place in China Mainland, it's a smoking city and people from morning like to use some mask when doing outdoor activity.

Well then, if that true,  then games is now close to reality , i dont why so many people complain  to many grey collor/crimson and smoke in games, but actually is representative of the real atmosphere.



I wish they'd stop releasing an AC game every year, hell we got 2 this year.
