Ubisoft has already "had discussions" on where Assassin’s Creed III could take place, and one setting brought up was a female assassin in World War II-era France and England.
"Where would that make sense?" asked producer Sebastien Puel about a female assassin. "We don’t want to just decide we want to change and have a female hero, as the first inspiration is always the time period, but if you’re talking about, say, World War II, the economies in England and France were run by women because the men were off fighting. So maybe in this context you were a woman in England during WWII. Why not? Nothing prevents us from doing it," he said.
Creative director Patrice Fortier added that the Assassin’s Creed series, originally intended to be a trilogy, may grow and grow beyond just three games.
"What’s so great about Assassin’s Creed is that we can just expand and expand," he said. "I’m often asked if we’re doing a third game after ACII… I mean, we could do 35 of these."
