Night Time in Assassin’s Creed
Why is there no night time in Assassin’s Creed?
It’s a very interesting question. Most evolving games nowadays have lifelike time in which we see day and night as the game progresses. So why did the makers of Assassin’s Creed not include any night time missions?
I can think of a few reasons, although I’m not sure if any of them were considered by Ubisoft. For one, during the middle ages, citizens rarely ventured outside once the sun went down. It was too dangerous and people went to bed really early back then. Another reason Ubisoft may have excluded night time from Assassin’s Creed is because the assassination missions in cities were meant to be public. They wanted to kill to be seen.
Sure roaming around at night time and being stealth-like would be cool at times, but it’s not how this game was meant to be played. Altair was meant to kill important people in front of everyone.

um i guess i could get in troubol fr this but ohwell…..here it is…….anther possible reason goes on top of the 1 reason.maybe back then NOONE went out at night.because a few thus and thieves were out.so to cope with this gaurds would attack people on sight.and there would be a lot.so it is possible it would be so dangerous u could die.so mabye thats is another reason they didint put nightime on A’s Creed.

I think that all of the above reasons are well thought through but i think the main reason relates to one mentioned - altair is so sly that he is right infront of the public’s eyes and that the assassinations have to be seen by the public. I think that its all to do with the actual game play rather than being accurate in terms of the construction of the game.
