Nazi Germany
One of the most surprising omissions from the Assassin’s Creed series so far is its lack of involvement with World War II. Though slightly brushed upon in the weird time-tear scenes of Unity, Nazi Germany remains to be explored as a setting for the series. Imagine, the Nazi regime is, in fact, the Templar’s largest push for world domination yet.
With the anti-Semitic regime of Hitler spreading across Europe, it’s up to you to take down the Nazi hierarchy. With a few assassination attempts having taken place on numerous big wigs in the Nazi regime, it seems like the perfect first step for the Assassin’s Creed series to move more into modern history. And with historians still debating aspects of ‘the road to the Final Solution’ Ubisoft has plenty of leeway to create their own interpretation of events.
While Corey May, a former writer for the series, and creative director Alex Hutchinson mentioned back in 2011 that the series would never make its way over to Nazi Germany, we can still dream. And with rumors that the series could be making its way to Ancient Egypt, a setting that the pair also considered to be “one of the three worst settings for an Assassin’s Creed game,” there is hope yet.
