A rumor surfaced in March on Comicbook.com indicating that the next Assassin’s Creed game will be set in ancient Greece. “Several sources,” said it was so, although the site advised approaching the story with all appropriate caution; but it also noted that “murmurs” of a possible Greek setting had previously come up earlier in the development of Assassin’s Creed: Origins.
