Believe it or not, Call of Duty: Ghosts houses a reference to The Legend of Zelda. A trophy, which seems shaped like a ruppee, contains the words “Awarded for most bushes cut and pots smashed.” Pretty neat!

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has already visited plenty of time periods, locations, and settings. A new Assassin’s Creed game taking place in present day is unlikely, however.

Assassin’s Creed IV lead writer
more or less ruled out the possibility during a Reddit AMA he participated in earlier today. He said:
