A spin-off Assassin’s Creed story took Ubisoft’s flagship series to Russia, and it really needs to be adapted into a game.
Ubisoftseriously struck gold withAssassin’s Creed, turning the series into a time-travelling, globe-trotting adventure with nearly endless possibilities for times and locations.
Take a look at the gameplay forAssassin’s Creed Miragebelow, which releases later this year
We’ve seen stories inAncient Egypt,Ancient Greece, TheCaribbean Age of Piracy, and theFrench Revolutionto name a few. There are still so many untouched points in time left for the series to explore, and we’re hoping for a full-game set sometime during Russia’s history.

Russia has popped up in the series before, albeit briefly, during the spin-off titleAssassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russiaand the comic-bookAssassin’s Creed: The Fall & The Chain, the latter being the topic of today’s discussion.
It’s a good read, scoring favourable reviews from fans, and worth a look if you’re interested in the wider lore of the Assassin’s Creed series.
As fun as it is to read about another assassin and their Russian escapades, it’d be a hell of a lot better if we could play instead. Like I said earlier there was an Assassin’s Creed game set in Russia but it was just a spin-off, and more like a 2D platformer rather than the explorable open-world games we’ve grown accustomed to.

A revisit is definitely in order, especially one that gives us complete freedom of traversal over Russia’s beautiful architecture.
It’s currently unknown if an AC trip to Russia is on the cards or not for future releases, but given how Ubisoft are going all-in on the series withseveral projects in the pipeline, it’s definitely a possibility. Unfortunately, Ubisoft’s commitment to its flagship franchise has come at the cost of its other IPs, likeImmortals Fenyx Risingwhich recently hadits sequel cancelled.
Assassin’s Creed: The Fall & The Chaincan currently be purchased on Amazon, either has a physical copy or an E-book.
