Aztec Empire (Roughly 1428 AD)
Future Assassin’s Creed Settings Ubisoft Should Use
The Aztec Empire represents an area of the world not yet explored by the Assassins Creed series, located in the area now known as Mexico and Central America. In particular, there are two periods in the reign of the Empire that have potential, the founding of the Triple Alliance from a civil war fought between Azcapotzalco and its former tributary provinces, and the arrival of the Spanish, bringing about the end of the Aztecs.
Part of what makes Aztec culture so attractive for Assassin’s Creed is its polytheistic religion, with the culture worshipping a multitude of different deities. This creates the opportunity for a lot of storytelling variation, and a diverse set of towns or settlements to travel to throughout the game. Combine this with the unique weapons and styles of Aztec warriors, and you have an Assassin’s Creed game that could be much more different than anything that’s come before.
