Why the Assassin’s Creed Franchise Won’t Go to WW2

Assassin’s Creed is a series that has spanned thousands of years and has games set against numerous important historical backdrops. Whether it be Italy in the 1400s or the American Revolution, the AC franchise has always focused on recreating historic places and periods as accurately as possible. Some recent games have even adapted their worlds for educational software meant to teach gamers about their respective eras. This dedication to visiting some of history’s most important moments and figures has led fans to wonder if the series will ever visit a modern time period, such as WW2. In spite of WW2’s importance as a historical event and an event in the Assassin’s Creed universe, an entry set during it is extremely unlikely.
