User blog comment:Suriken88/Rumour: Assassin's Creed 3 Setting Revealed/@comment-3276576-20120130230648
Rumours, rumours, rumours. The title is misleading, my heartbeat actually stopped for a second. Why? Because the American Civil War is absolutely unsuitable for the AC franchise. Come on, we will probably get to visit parts of America with Desmond, is that not enough for those who can't imagine a single game which is not set in the USA?
About the 'hints': -Coordinates: That's the Grand Temple, obviously. -'Futuristic globe': Eh.. what? Can't really see it. And if it should be a 'globe' it's probably either Eye Abstergo or the sun, or at least something related to the First Catastrophe. -The "biggest" indication: Yeah, there were tons of different settings. Each of them is a possibility. But I suppose you can use facts the way you like them.. By the way, in my opinion that indicates that this setting will not appear in AC3. It's quite obvious that they didn't begin to work on AC3 'late last year'. -George Washington etc: In the AC franchise, pretty much every single historical character is related to Templars, Assassins or POEs.
