Rumor: Assassin's Creed Comet will be set in ancient Rome?
In an interview with the Canadian site The Grid, Raymond explained that, despite much of the popularity of the series is due to the fact by impersonating a capable assassin, " there is also the element of life and play a role in crucial historical moments. We work with historians to recreate these companies- the ancient Rome, the French Revolution . And since every game belongs to a new era, players don't get tired. "
Now, apart from the last and definitely questionable final phrase, it is interesting how the Director of Ubisoft Toronto has indicated the historical setting of Unity , the French Revolution, as well as ancient Rome. It is a reference to the setting of Comet ?
The series has already seen limestone Roman soil, but with "ancient Rome" refers generally to the Imperial era that occurred over 2000 years ago. In addition to fuel the flames of rumor adding a poll made by Ubisoft in 2011, asking players if they would like a title that had followed " the rise of the Empire of Caesar in ancient Rome. "
A final clue/shortcut there comes ultimately from (allegedly) name of the game, Assassin's Creed: Comet . That "Comet" could refer to the bright comet was sighted in the days when Caesar died, which some interpreted as a sign of the divine nature of the Emperor so much that the Comet was also represented in the temple dedicated to Caesar and on one of the faces of the coins that were minted in memory of the emperor.
We must therefore prepare ourselves to run and jump through the streets and the rooftops of ancient Rome, on our trust and rodatissima Xbox 360 ? We hope to find out soon.
