[4Chan Rumor] Assassin's Creed Ragnarok Leak (Disproven)

My wishes of it taking place during Ragnars time have come true! Fuck yaaassss. Can't fucking wait. Calling it now, this will be a better version of Odyssey and Odyssey is fucking beautiful.
I kind of wish they just paired back the scale of the this series now . Remove the massive openworld sea / hills and just give me a more highly detailed area.
Although I keep buying the games day 1 because I just love the assasins series I'm getting tired of the formula. I burnt out on both origins and odyssey , odyssey was even more larger with the focus on boats.
It's not s popular opinion but assasins unity was the last amazing assasins game for me . Just much more grounded , less rpg . Syndicate was also ok but I thought the location itself was boring.
I love the idea of a Viking setting I would love if it was smaller and more grounded like a god of war.

Day 1.
So if this takes place during Vikings invasion of Britain, it should put this game between 600~800 AD.
Sounds amazing btw. Hope we get Stone Henge in there with mysterious paganism side story.
Yeah, I am not sure how many franchises can do what Zelda did and not irritate players. The folks who love that game, love Zelda and without that love, idk how much fun a game like that would be.
The reason they put these things in games is because most people hate not knowing where to go and getting lost. I know I hate games where that happens, and I'll stop playing unless there is a compelling reason to keep going, like love of the franchise. I even hate the 'go to this general area and look for stuff' gameplay. I want to know where the interesting stuff is and how to get there. Wandering around and listing to hours of dialog, looking for 'big mountain near river'...idk.
A little less emphasis on ship combat and a little more emphasis on exploration/loot is right up my alley. Should be a good launch title for next gen systems.
Day 1. Also, I could have swore I read somewhere that the next one would be in Rome and wrap up the Origin/Odyssey Arc.
A million times this. While i liked unity it had a hundred of gameplay probles and probably the biggest one was the shitty balanced coop missions. Not only they were balanced only for multi, god knows why, but they impacted negatively the story by making them important historic parts that jumped around time because you could play them in any order. Also trying to listen what characters said? Fat chance, the other guy connected is already running kiling guards left and right.
Fuck multi in ac.
I'm having so much fun with odyssey. I can't wait to play this.
Haha, yeah. Anytime there is coop, it is like a sprint to the finish.
I'm in the middle of reading THE LAST KINGDOM books thanks to the last time a leak got posted (and someone mentioning them).
So I'm stoked if they get some of the feel of those books down. It's a thing of beauty to see these games change and pivot into
new directions. They are the KIRBY of game series, inhaling anything that is popular and adding it to their output.

I guess, but look at stuff like the prototype of God of War. That stuff looks exactly like the finished games.
Or heck, just look at those screenshots leaked from Origins way back. It looked like the game, not some 2004 Eastern European janky RPG.
If the locations were interesting they could pull it off, but there is no way with setting.
In Zelda you have mystical locations. A lost woods, a dark forest, an icy mountain, a volcano, with giant machines and monsters and most importantly they could make the locations interesting visually so you want to travel.
God, yes. Forgot about this aspect. Makes me frustrated just thinking about it.
I'm kind of vaguely interested, but this:
has got me kind of skeptical.

I hope you're still fine with the climbing system though. That and the way the horse controls is very "arcadey" but it benefits the player because all these animations are sped up and feel fluid.
+1 to this, Unity was godlike; only AC game that i've replayed. Syndicate wasn't that bad though.
But BOTW isn't a game about removing question marks from your map. BOTW is a game about exploring for the sake of your own curiosity. That's what made BOTW so special.
I already hate the towns in the screens. This is exactly why i didnt want vikings. For me cities and civs are an important part of ac because no other game doed that. Games with vikings or similar stuff are a ton, and most of them need to use fantasy because if not they have zero interest visually.
The cloning wooding houses tool is going to be essential. As fun as new york in ac3. Yuck.
People also said Greece and Egypt would be boring. Despite using real life locations Ubi's artists always know how to make them visually interesting.
Those people were right. They were boring.
They are nice to look at, not exciting to explore and get lost in
This sounds awesome. I absolutely loved Odyssey. The RPG mechanics were an amazing addition, I loved all the different abilities you could get, and it made combat so much more complex and entertaining. I'm all in on whatever the next AC is.
Honestly, considering they have something like thousands of devs working on these games, keeping it from leaking seems all but impossible.

Exactly. The 'zelda universe for people who love zelda' was great for that kind of design. I am thinking about the universe of the witcher, and who would want to just wander in that dismal world, looking for landmarks and random conversations while listening vomiting and racial slurs and men beating their wives...without the '?' markers and fast travel from anywhere mod, etc....ewwww.
The only part of this that doesn't sound great to me is the part where they remove ? to open up exploration.
Like in practice that sounds cool as hell, but if the map is anything like the size of Odyssey I just don't have the time to fucking run around everywhere trying to find everything.
It's taken me 127 hours to complete everything in the game up to this point, without the ? guidance I can't even fucking imagine how long it would have taken.

Ubisoft really has me by my lady balls. I can't break free from this franchise....
All of this sounds good. My BF will be especially happy to hear about co-op

Well I'm excited. Just started Odyssey a couple weeks ago. After feeling meh about the series for a while, it's the most I've enjoyed an AC game by far. That world sounds impossibly huge though... Odyssey already feels like the biggest open world I've ever played, I can't imagine how big this'll be.
-Main character is ally of Ragnar Lodbrok and aids in the formation of Great Heathen Army
Ragnar Lodbrok?
Ragnarok?
I'm not sure I can roll my eyes further back in my head.

I love big maps and has nothing against them.... but this sounds waaaaaay more than needed big :/
Anyhow all in for les focus on ship battles and more on exploration.

This sounds great so far. I just hope it doesn't fall into the same Assassin Creed post Syndicate formula. I know they can fill the world but I hope its not too big.
I really hope it turns into Marvel Mjolnir, make the Thor game come true.
