Philadelphia was the largest city in Pennsylvania, a state of the United States of America.

History

In 1943, the USS Elridge, located in Philadelphia, was transported to a future state for 18 minutes with the use of a Piece of Eden.

By the year 1998, Daniel Cross lived in Philadelphia. That year, he was abducted by Hannah Mueller, an Assassin, and brought to an Assassin camp. The two of them returned to his apartment the next day, and after the camp's head Paul Bellamy arrived there as well, Cross ran away from Mueller and Bellamy, freerunning over a couple of rooftops.

Two years later, Cross returned to Philadelphia after he unwillingly killed the Mentor of the Assassin Order. He made his way to Abstergo Industries' Philadelphia facility, where he spent time inside the Animus.

Trivia

• Ubisoft considered having Philadelphia as the primary location of Assassin's Creed III, but decided against it because the city's grid-like planning would have made freerunning counterintuitive.
