Assassin's Creed 2 set in the 1700s, says Pachter
During taping of an episode of GameTrailers' Bonus Round, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michawl Pachter has apparently revealed that the time-frame for the now-confirmed Assassin's Creed 2 has been moved from 1191 to “several hundred years in the future” or more specifically, “sometime in the 1700s.”
Pachter speculated, according to this Giant Bomb report, that the French Revolution could be the setting for the game.
Ubisoft confirmed the title was in the works last night during an earnings call.
