Based on the styles in the images, I'd guess a Persian setting - which will give it a much more original Assassin's Creed feel (though I'm sure many would agree the Ezio saga was peak AC).
Update: Based on an article by Eurogamer, the game is to be set in Baghdad.
The main character is rumoured to be Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Basim - who was a reincarnation, originally born in the Abbasid Caliphate during the 9th century - which would fit with the Iraq setting. The events of the game therefore probably happen around 850 - 870 AD.
Since it apparently has a smaller scope than the recent Vahallah, we could be looking at a pared down Assassin's Creed with smaller areas and less RPG style activities, exploring, and grinding. Hopefully it's a hybrid of old and new Assassin's Creed.
Ubisoft Forward begins on September 10 at 12noon Pacific / 3pm Eastern / 8pm UK (so 5am on September 11 AEST).
We have guides for several Assassin's Creed games, including the much loved Assassin's Creed 2 Feather Tracker and Assassin's Creed Syndicate Location Maps Guide. Check out our Guides for more information.
