Over the years, the Assassin's Creed games have been to all sorts of time periods over the years, from the mythological air of Ancient Greece, to the wonders of Renaissance Italy. Everyone has their own favorites, but exploring historical events has always been a huge part of the appeal of the series.
As such, the relatively modern has generally been left out, largely to create a distinct difference between the modern story and the work being done in the Animus. That said, there were a couple of games that were already modern in their own right, and one in particular has fans calling for a major setting change in the series.
Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Syndicate were consecutive releases for Ubisoft, and they're also two of the most recent chronologically. The really interesting thing about them, though, is that they both feature sojourns into other eras, specifically the World Wars that devastated the planet so much.
Syndicate features an optional WW1 side memory that's great fun, but Unity takes players to the considerable chaos of the Second World War, and it's a moment that continues to fascinate fans of the series.
