Ubisoft has kicked off a stream that will reveal the setting of the next Assassin's Creed game. Interestingly, the setting will be revealed via a unique piece of artwork produced by BossLogic, an acclaimed artist known for his awesome Street Fighter pieces and, more recently, his collaborations with Marvel and DC.

BossLogic will be streaming his progress and, by the end of the showcase, we'll know where the new Assassin's Creed will take place. Those who watch the official stream on Twitch have a chance to earn a drop for a future Assassin's Creed skin. However, the event can also be seen on Mixer, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.
