Next Assassin's Creed Game May Be Set in Japan
Assassin's Creed fans have been demanding a Japanese setting of the series for what seems like eternity. After all, it would make a lot of sense for feudal Japan to be another potentially fascinating time period, considering it's appealing shinobi and samurai warriors. However, a new theory has sprung up that suggests Ubisoft's next outing in the Assassin's Creed series, following Odyssey, may finally feature a Japanese setting.
A Reddit user going by the name of “DoktahManhattan” recently discovered a possible Easter egg in Assassin's Creed 3 that alludes to Japan. In the image below, taken from the opening of Assassin's Creed 3, we see three familiar symbols. The first is the Eye of Horus symbol, which points to Assassin's Creed Origins' Egyptian setting; the second is the Omega letter from the Greek alphabet, pointing to Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Ancient Greece setting. The final symbol, however, is the most intriguing one; it's the symbol for a torii - a traditional Japanese gate typically found at the entrances of Shinto shrines.
It's easy to say that Ubisoft prematurely planned the outline of their future Assassin's Creed settings all the way back in 2012 when Assassin's Creed 3 came out - and if that is true, it's an incredible Easter egg - but it may also just be wishful thinking at this point as Ubisoft could very well change their mind. Given the resurgence of popular games with ancient Japanese settings, most notably Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Ghost of Tsushima, it wouldn't be far-fetched to think that the developer might want to tackle the time period too.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey releases on October 5, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
