During an interview with IGN TV, Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell, who is involved with the game, apparently revealed the plot of the game. She said that while parts of the story is centered around 1191 AD and the Third Crusade, there are also elements of it that take place in the future.

“It’s actually really interesting to me. It’s sort of based on the research that’s sort of happening now, about the fact that your genes might be able to hold memory. And you could argue semantics and say it’s instinct, but how does a baby bird know to eat a worm, as opposed to a cockroach, if its parents don’t show it? And it’s about this science company trying to, Matrix-style, go into peoples brains and find out an ancestor who used to be an assassin, and sort of locate who that person is.”

Others have reported that certain scenes in Assassin’s Creed that looked futuristic. Ubisoft hasn’t commented on the rumor.
