Feudal Japan, Egypt and World War II Europe, on the other hand, are a no go.

Alex Hutchinson, the creative director of 'Assassin's Creed III' talked with Official Xbox Magazine for a bit about possible future settings for the game series and revealed that India is one strong possibility. The writer of 'Assassin's Creed III' wants to set a game in India, says Hutchinson, "I would, too. I'd really love to do the Raj."

Hutchinson goes on to say that some of the most commonly suggested places are World War II Europe, feudal Japan and Egypt, but that those are "kind of the worst settings for an Assassin's Creed game," adding that "People on the Internet suggest the most boring settings."

Really internet? We need another World War II game?

'Assassin's Creed III' Preorders Set Ubisoft Records

It's only going to increase, with Ubisoft gearing up its biggest marketing campaign yet.

There's no question that 'Assassin's Creed III' is going to be a big game. It's easily one of the most anticipated titles of 2012, but it's popularity is surprising even Ubisoft. Months before its October releases, 'Assassin's Creed III' has already exceeded the amount of preorders made for 'Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.'

Ubisoft says that by E3, 'Assassin's Creed III' will be the company's most preordered game ever, surpassing the numbers set by 'Assassin's Creed: Revelations,' which it already has a good start on.

And of course, that number is only going to get higher, as Ubisoft is boasting that the company's biggest marketing campaign yet will soon be underway.

'Assassin's Creed III' Confirmed for Wii U

The company has not yet said what, if anything, will be changing from the 360, PC and PS3 versions.

We haven't heard much about game development for the Wii U yet, but Ubisoft has confirmed that it's going to bring 'Assassin's Creed 3' to the system. What's particularly interesting is that they said 'Assassin's Creed 3' and not just 'Assassin's Creed,' which seems to say that they're bringing over the full game and not just a similar game set in the same environment.

It's going to be really interesting to see what happens with the Wii U version and what kinds of controls are used. Hopefully we'll see more soon.

'Assassin's Creed III' Trailer Debuts

The cinematic trailer gives us a look at what we can expect from the new title.

The first trailer for 'Assassin's Creed III' has just been released and it's nothing short of impressive. Watching our new protagonist run and jump through the woods, taking out baddies along the way should put to rest some concern about the new direction of the game.

It's a cinematic trailer so there's no actual gameplay revealed, but there's some indication about what we can expect from the new running and jumping mechanics. Leaving the city for the forest seems like it could really work, but we'll have to see the game to find out for sure.

Hit the link below for a full breakdown of the trailer by the folks at CVG.

A Bevy of 'Assassin's Creed III' Info Revealed in Game Informer Scans

Tags: Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed III, Ubisoft (all tags)

The game includes notable historical figures, a massive map and a new way of taversing it.

There are few games more hotly anticipated than 'Assassin's Creed III,' and the latest information reveal is likely just going to get people more excited. We already know that it's set during the mid to late 1700s, but the latest issue of Game Informer reveals so much more.

For starters, there will be a whole new way of traversing terrain. Much of the game will take place in the wilderness, so the usual method of scaling buildings won't work out. Instead, you'll be climbing trees and leaping off of cliffs to evade foes.

Combat is all about offense and momentum - no standing around waiting to reposte an attack. You'll be able to use the terrain to your advantage to set up attacks and, of course, you'll still have a hidden blade at your disposal.
