Ubisoft announces Assassin's Creed: Dynasty, an original Chinese comic for the series. The reveal has prompted some fans to ask for the next Assassin's Creed game, after Viking-themed title Assassin's Creed Valhalla, to be set in China.
On August 26, 2020, Ubisoft and New Manhua will release Assassin's Creed: Dynasty, a comic book series that follows assassin Li E. Set in 755AD, the time of the Tang Dynasty, the new Assassin's Creed comic will follow Li E as he tries to become a Master Assassin during the civil war. Ubisoft's transmedia and business development director Azaïzia Aymar confirmed that it would be a web comic and that the company would let fans know once an international or print version had been confirmed.
China has long been a popular location suggestion from Assassin's Creed fans. The comic announcement has prompted more fans to ask for a main series Assassin's Creed game to go to China. A Twitter poll by Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad earned more than 13,000 votes, with 72.5% of people saying that they think Ubisoft should make a "mainline Assassin's Creed game that is set in China."
Ubisoft has made an Assassin's Creed game in China. In 2015, it released Assassin's Creed: China as part of its Assassin's Creed Chronicles series. The game featured platforming gameplay and featured a female assassin. It doesn't seem that the company is planning a larger version of that, but the support for the new comic may make Ubisoft start thinking.
