Ubisoft already brought the "Assassin's Creed" title in China, and it has never been lead us to Japan as fans requested. As of today, the only thing for sure is that the next game will bring us to Egypt as the leaked image of the rumored "Assassin's Creed Empire" was shown.

Several Fans are currently excited for the upcoming sequel "Assassin's Creed Empire" with a speculation that it will be aligned to some historical events. Aside from Egypt as the rumored location, it has been said that the protagonist was a slave.

As for the fans requesting to bring the "Assassin's Creed Empire" to Japan seemed to be possible. A reported easter-egg from the UK Sun was released showing a Samurai that wears the iconic Assassin's Creed symbol, which was seen in the Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege.

With this, even Ubisoft is maintaining their stance that they will not move the "Assassin's Creed" to Japan, fans are still hoping. Seeing the game protagonist fight against several Japanese Ninja Assassins would be very exciting and interesting.

On the other hand, as the Ubisoft announced that they will be releasing a new sequel of the legendary "Assassin's Creed," the rumored VR version with the title "Assassin's Creed" Da Vinci's Workshop seemed to off the table. The rumored "Assassin's Creed" VR was said to be a collaboration between Ubisoft and the NHTV University.

However, it was found out that the "Assassin's Creed" VR is a school project of an aspiring technical game designer Tim van Kan, a well-known student from the NHTV University in Netherlands. With this confirmation, fans can now rest their minds and not expect a VR version of the game.

At some point, according to the Shack News, Ubisoft may consider creating the "Assassin's Creed" Da Vinci's Workshop since they now have an idea for the game. As the Ubisoft is currently known to develop some VR games, "Assassin's Creed" Da Vinci's Workshop may seem not far from reality. We may not a VR version of the "Assassin's Creed" series in the near future as the Ubisoft still remains silent about the rumors and speculations, but with the current technology and trend, the game is likely to be seen in the future.
