The series has already visited Rennaissance Italy and the crusade-ravaged Holy Lands of the Middle Ages so where will it go next?

Geoffrey Sardin, EMEA markting and boss for has hinted that the series could detour through ancient Rome and even the USSR.

Sardin explained to MCV: "If you've read the comic books you will see that we took Assassins Creed to the USSR, or Caesar's Rome that's a good example of what we could do in the coming years in the next video games."

He continued: "We never saw this as just a franchise it is a 360 degree franchise, and touches a lot of other experiences. Its not just a game, but an animated story, on comics, in books, and other formats too. Theres lots of scope for what we can do."
