The Assassins Creed franchise has explored a wide variety of historical settings and major events, since debuting in 2007. The series most recent title, Mirage, saw players explore 9th-Century Baghdad, in an origin story for one of the series overarching antagonists, Basim. While the larger franchise has transitioned to a more self-contained and ancient list of settings and events, more recent history presents a host of compelling eras in which the centuries-long conflict between Assassins and Templars could be set. In the early 2010s, an avatar that depicted an Assassin from one such era was released. Should the concept of this avatar be adapted to a video game, it could be the springboard to the next great Assassins Creed setting.
