Assassin's Creed: will a chapter set in Persia arrive?

The series of Assassin's Creed over the years it has accustomed us to heterogeneous settings from all points of view. Diversified for the urban characteristics and the historical period in which they were recreated, the areas that Ubisoft has included in the various titles of the saga have always played a very important role in the plot of the games. Emblematic is, for example, the impact that the historical setting that distinguishes it has Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the last episode of the series set in the period of the Viking invasions in the English territories. A few days after Valhalla's release in stores, some rumors emerge from the network regarding what could be the setting for one of the next episodes of the series. According to a Twitter user, they were even revealed by the artistic director of Assassin's Creed, Rafael Lacoste.

from translation of the tweet that you can see at the bottom of the article it would seem that Lacoste has confessed to the user who shared the post that an AC: Persia would be inevitable and not to worry about this. Lacoste's statement would have been dictated by a question from the user, who sent the artistic director a photo of the Alamut castle, in Iran. This castle could have an important value for the saga as it is historically known to be the operational base of theOrder of the Persian Assassins.

Considering how much the Order of Assassins present in the game is based on real history, it is not to be excluded that Persia may also be part of the Assassin's Creed universe in the future. However, it must be borne in mind that this news does not have no official basis and there is no real evidence to show how Rafael Lacoste actually made such statements. We just have to wait for future communications from Ubisoft to find out if and what the Twitter user said is actually true.
