I think you ask a very good question. I do think however you have to be somewhat realistic though. Most media content I have seen on our Ubisoft overlords and on what they intended to do with the 'Assassin's Creed' franchise has less to do with direction but more with on how they intend to deliver their product to us, the consumer. I can understand how Ubisoft might find this difficult. Things change, tastes evolve and really, it is a risky adventure to attempt to keep trying to ply the same old formulaic material. If you do this and keep relying on same old formulaic approach even in different settings you do run the risk of creating a vacuum where no real content exists and any interest just dies a slow malingering death. As Aristotle said 'Nature abhors a vacuum' and I do not think even incessant DLC's of further formulaic material would help to much if at all in such a case. This why I think to some extent Assassin's Creed: Origins was a step in the right direction. I would however like to qualify one thing though while I think Origins was a great game visually with excellent production values (character portrayals etc) going in the right direction, story wise I thought it was quite poor. It was less about the Templar's v Assassins (booo!), it was even less about Abstergo. I think you are right that Ubisoft have many choices to chose from in regards to stories and relevant time periods but they should NOT forget that what made Assassin's Creed what it is, is a story arc of two sides locked in a war to try and achieve the same thing but by much different methods. When you move to remove or deconstruct either side of this story, you change it from a complex, deep and multi layered experience to simple bubble gum for the diabetic mind. May the Father of Understanding guide you.
