Rumor: Assassin's Creed: Ragnarok details leak.

What's more likely, Ubisoft is ditching the historical aspect of their next AC game or that some rumor got the dates wrong? I guarantee that if the next game is about Vikings that it deals with actual history and people and isn't some fantasy GoW clone.
We'll definitely get one. I don't think this entry ever had a shot of being next gen only though, regardless of Ubi's finances.
I wish that Sega would update the graphics of Yakuza Ishin, translate everything & port it over.
Sounds like they are going full "BioWare" with their protagonist and party system. Except you will be called Jora (your name) rather then Shepard/inquisitor/pathfinder ect
That's a really cool step forwar
Apparently Assasin's Creed has a "No Cars" rule. So most/all of the 1900s is out. Which is a pitty because Revolutionary Russia and Prohabition Chicago would be great AC settings

Ill-timed because one of very few good viking themed games came out on one of the available platforms? Lol this is easily going to sell better than God of War did.
Actually GOW is not in Viking era or settings to start with so it doesn't get ranked there too. I don't know how this would make anyone fed up.
I literally had the same thought as soon as I read it. Totally sounds like they are aping off of GoW. Not saying it's a bad thing, but having the Assassin visit Asgard and other realms? Too much of a coincidence. Also, you should know why Ubisoft will never make an AC set in Japan.
The season pass was on sale a few weeks back so I finally got to play through it myself after two years, lol. It took me a good minute to get reacclimated to Origins's mechanics after putting so many hours into Odyssey, but once I did, I have to say, I really enjoyed the DLC.
Yeah, AC games get revealed in dumb ways all the time.
This is like when people argued about how no one cared about Crash on PS4 or how Monster Hunter wouldn't work if it left portable systems.
I thought I would be tired of it too but shows like Vinland Saga, Netflix's Norsemen, and The Last Kingdom are keeping me interested. That said, I really do hope they get around to an Asian themed AC. Japan, China, Korea would all be interesting.
I said this in the other thread: people keep saying this shit is over done but an AC game would be historical vikings, which really hasn't been done at all outside maybe strategy games. Going by the last couple games the mythology shit would just be an expansion pack right? I'm not up on AC lore. This would be like, Ragnar Lothbrok and the Lindsfarne massacre or something.
Same thing with Japan. How many open-world sandbox games set in historical Japan can you list?
Exactly. What sets AC apart is it's the only AAA series doing historical drama.
On Asia, I feel like if Ubisoft chose the right time period it could make a single game set in parts of Japan, China, Korea, and southeast Asia. It could take the AC naval gameplay and apply it to Far East pirates that operated at multiple points in history, or Far East naval wars.
To be serious for a second, bronze age Europe is a whole other opportunity with unique advantages.
Archaeology shows that advanced societies existed in central and northern Europe around 800BC and in fact much earlier, they just didn't leave behind any writing. We know what they used and how they dressed, we just don't know what they called themselves. That would leave a lot of room for writers to fill in their own stories.

Imagine the mythological aspects will be handled like in recent games, i.e. there'll be a few spots on the map/in the story that'll deal with it but most of the game will be fairly grounded with maybe the DLC being a bit more based on mythology like Origins and Odyssey. It's not even set during the same period as God of War either.
They definitely were active at times in Devon & Cornwall. I know they were involved in a battle in Exeter and allied with the Cornish at one point as well.

Graphics don't need updates. Its good as is. It already runs at 60FPS, unless they move to the newer engine (which would only make the game worse) there's really nothing mechanically that needs to be done. Just localise the game and ship it! I mean, some nit picky stuff I guess I could suggest changing some of the CP requirements for 100% completion, or friend events as both are far more grindy than later games but that's a minor issue, the core gameplay is fantastic.
I agree, though the reason why I said this, is because Yakuza Ishin (or Ryū Ga Gotoku: Ishin! in Japan) was probably developed as a PS3 title & had been released on both PS3 & PS4 simultaneously back on February of 2014.
I'm actually glad this one is taking the cross-gen hit. I'd rather that game be a next-gen exclusive.
I feel your pain. I was hoping they would finish off the ancient era first.
Don't know if it's already said but I'm pretty certain they mean Plymouth, not Plimouth.
Sounds amazing and looking forward to it.

London has been around since the Roman times, and was heavily contested between the Anglo-Saxons and Danes (vikings) for much of the latter's occupation.
If you're interested, give The Last Kingdom on Netflix a watch :)
Given that Rome was only founded in 753 BC, it's pretty impressive that they conquered southern Britannia 50 years prior :^)
I thought it was already confirmed that he's the director for this one?
Origins>>Odyssey
If they did Feudal Japan next year it would be alongside Ghost of Tsushima.
And this sounds better than a feudal Japan AC.
I know Total War is doing it now and we just did Classical Greece, but Bronze Age eastern Mediterranean during the Trojan War/Bronze Age Collapse would be a great setting.
Maybe not any time soon, but once we get through Japan, Meso-America, and Rome I'd love to see it.
If we're gonna get crazy, we need Mesoamerica at some point. Don't even have the Spanish in there. Just go full pre-contact classic period Mayans. Archaeologists and historians know a lot more about that period than most people realize.
The DLC would just be full-blown blood magic and Kulkukan and shit.

I'd assume so, but I don't know if it was confirmed? I hope so though lol
A Mesoamerican setting is my pick as well. My biggest concern there is that there are just so many civilizations and regions to cover that one game simply won't be enough, even with DLC.
Haha. That is the only creature an AC protagonist can fight or deal with. XD
Right? If you look up the region and time period even a little bit it's astounding how diverse it was.
And then you have how so many other people (including Shadow of the Tomb Raider) conflate it with the Incas and other Andean civilizations even though they had no contact with Mesoamerica.
