After the success of Assassin's Creed Origins with its gorgeous open world ancient Egypt, it's no wonder that people are turning their thoughts to where the next game in the series could take place. A new spate of rumours around the Origins follow-up suggest that the new location will be ancient Greece.
There are a couple of reasons why this could hold some water. Pop culture website comicbook.com has heard from "several sources linked to Ubisoft" that ancient Greece is in fact the setting for the next Assassin's Creed, and that we'll be seeing it release in 2019. The rumoured setting also ties into Origins, as the game features Greek elements such as architecture and other cultural signifiers, not to mention that, in reality, the Greek army was present in Egypt for a long period of time.
Obviously this is just a rumour at this point, so don't put any stock in it just yet.
Where do you think the next Assassin's Creed will be set? Could you see ancient Greece as the next location for the series? Free run into the comments below.

that great to hear about new game coming out next year in 2019 so does that mean Watch Dogs 3 coming out this year ? i guess Ubisoft reveal it during E3 on their conference in June
It'll be interesting to see if they give Origins much breathing room or jump straight into promoting this early next year.
I reckon this will end up being crossed between this and next gen similar to Black Flag.
Yes, please! That would be a dream come true. And after that, ancient Rome for the end of the trilogy of Bayek and Aya!
I reckon this will be true, seems like a natural progression from Egypt/Greece, what im hoping though is they keep Bayek and keep that storyline going, either way, cant wait!
If I am right with the lore and history, the new AC can't be in an older time than Origins. So if it is a direct sequel it will on the Roman Empire but in the Greek area. If it is not a sequel than it my be on Byzantine age or it will be nice to see one during the revolution, against the Ottoman empire.
as long as we get a new moden day character, the one from Origins was extremely bland
actually how about letting us make a custom character instead, many games have fully voiced custom characters like Mass Effect with Shepard
on topic Greece sounds like a great place for the next AC to go but i do feel they might need to finish the story, give us a AC set solely in the modern day where we use a custom character and bring down Abstergo once and for all
Having been watching a lot of Vikings on TV recently, I think that would be a pretty cool setting. You could take the sea battles from Black Flag and put them in a Viking longship whilst sailing over to Europe etc.
Failing that, how about something set in a modern day city like New York? That would be totally different!

I think Kotaku's looking at it wrong. I think they'll stay in roughly the same time period and place as Origins, as this was a success and AC tends to go for trilogies.
Dynasty is a Greek word. So, isn't the Greek empire the more obvious choice?"
I think Dynasty is the #1 reason to assume this will be in Greece.
@Derpie1 Please do not attempt to troll or bait users and derail the thread as per the rules.
Thanks for understanding
I hope this turns out into more of a DLC to Origins rather then a new game. I still have so much to do in Origins.
So is kratos coming back to do more damage in greece hahaha.any game that features greek gameplay or mythology.kratos is watching you.word up son
Ancient Mars would be good.
Not bad but please consider Portugal/Colonies
This sucks i want Japan with a female lead.
This would be great if true, was hoping for a followup sequel to Origins.
