seriously. if they're gonna keep their maps large as hell, at least populate them with interesting stuff and not those boring, tedious forts and shit treasure locations.
Greek and Egypt had cities with monuments etc. Scandinavia only had some trading towns. I wonder how they'll make an interesting overworld.
Thank fuck it won't be Feudal Japan. Those times don't interest me at all. But love me some cold-ass Scandinavian nights.
Like Skellige I guess. But I'm a simple man, give me mountains, snow and beautiful vistas and that's all I need
China would have been perfect. It would have been so perfect.
Especially during the Shi Huang Ti era, an emperor that managed to unify China, but was paranoid and finding ways to live forever. There's so much content in that era, various different landtypes, cultures, etc.

This doesn't sound appealing to me personally.
I miss old AC a bit, with a focus on a central massive city, emphasis on parkour/climbing and carefully executed set piece assassinations.
I've mostly enjoyed the wide open scale of newer AC's but I'd like to see a return to series roots on a next gen scale in the future.
Like three or four massive cities on the scale of Paris from Unity.

"world map" will probably be a simulacrum of nordic europe + England and perhaps some Germany. lots of material there though a lot of the historicity (not just in locales but the personalities) will probably be extrapolated on. it'll probably be the least "accurate" AC to date
Normally there would be two AC in development. Maybe it's just this one and the Odyssey team is fully committed to Gods and Monsters.
Ok, I will throw you guys a bone.
The only unannounced game in development at Ubisoft right now is codenamed "AGOS"
And if I tell you how I have that information, I can get fired. Take the hint.

oh my god
Assassin's Greed? Set during the depression?
(im kidding)
I just can't see how they will make parkour relevant at all. They already made it boring in Origins and Odyssey and now we won't have proper cities and focus will move to climbing mountains. Watching same animation while descending cliffside in Origins and Odyssey was awful. Climbing wasn't better either.
Also based on setting melee will be focus and based on rumors gameplay will be more-less the same as Origins/Odyssey. That is also disappointing.
All in all I can't get excited for AC game unless they move it back to modern times with proper cities. But they won't do that because it doesn't fit with current RPG focused gameplay. It would require far more work to do proper questing in that kind of environment because they wouldn't be able to use outposts and camps as main gameplay loop.

And if you don't verify with a mod you can get banned.
It's almost impossible that a company like Ubisoft has only one unannounced game right now.
Do I pm someone? Is there an application of sorts?
And I didn't mean to stand above everybody like that, apologies.
Keep in mind that I'm talking about games in active development at Ubi, if there is an AC being worked on then it's most likely in pre-pre-production.
As I have not picked up any news/documents on it and so have my sources.
Origins team is working on AC game more-less since they shipped Origins. It is possible that Darby McDevitt is back as narrative director and Ashraf is for sure back as game director. So pleas don't spread nonsense.
Not to mention that last week bunch of AC fansite owners and super fans in general were in Montreal for a whole week. Just like they were for Origins and I think Odyssey months before announcement.
No idea, maybe someone tag a mod here to contact you.
Anyway it's just that it would be really weird for Ubi going from yearly releases to not having any AC under development at all.
As I said in post above there is AC game in development as are many other games. Kotaku confirmed AC game months ago. And as I said AC fansite owners were in Montreal whole last week.
So this time no huge, culturally rich cities? :/ Towns/settlements of the viking age, even London, were rather small and architecturally and artistically unexciting.
This is Hedeby (in what is today Northern Germany), it was the second biggest Viking city:
They also didn't have the high buildings I associate with ACs.

I was not being malicious. I am just stating from the information I have right now (which I can show to the proper people) that there is no such game being ACTIVELY developed or produced right now at Ubi, that was it.
And why exactly should that be strange for Ubisoft, every team they have is either working on an ongoing live service game, an announced game, and the announced delayed games. They have so many games in the ether right now.
Because main teams don't work on live service support. Each live service game has smaller live service team to support it.
I'll choose not to believe you then.
ubisoft in the past had up to 3 AC's in development at the same time, and Origins & Odyssey have been massive successes. It's been over a year since Odyssey came out, and the last bit of DLC content dropped months ago.
There is going to be a new AC next year, guaranteed.

Aye, there's no way the next AC game after Ragnarok or whatever it may be called is not in development. Absolutely no way. It'll be in pre-production for sure.
Well if they hadn't waited that wouldn't have been a problem. People have been pining for this since long before those games came out.
So you're saying there's not another Assassin's Creed game in development right now. What about Far Cry? What are The Crew team or Reflections up to? Are you saying that the 3500 staff at Ubisoft Montreal are just working on supporting live service games? Do you not see how this seems quite ridiculous when by headcount Ubi are the largest videogame publisher in the world, they're always quick to jump on new hardware which is due in 12 months and as far as I recall they only have about 5 announced-but-unreleased games out there right now?
sounds like what i would expect from Ubisoft after Origins and Odyssey, more of the same in a new setting.
not for me at all, i don´t like the "new" Assassins Creed games, they feel like an offline MMORPG with bloated size and quests.
Origins was "ok" but Odyssey was a massive slog.

scenery/tone wise it can work if they embellish it a bit. i found the nordic architecture on Vikings (the show) interesting though it's probably not 1:1 accurate
but yeah probably not much mileage there in the "virtual tourism" aspect like Unity, Origins, ect
Yeah, there's simply no way Ubisoft doesn't have the next AC game in active development right now.
It's really my fault for arrogantly thinking that I can drop that information without also providing the proof as to why I know,
I thought it would look cool to just drop an insider bomb and walk away but I understand why people are skeptical.
But It's not something I can share openly so if a mod can get in contact with me then I'll be happy to corroborate and provide more info for the verification,etc.
but I won't be replying to this thread anymore.

Loved AC:Odyssey and I'm currently reading Vinland Saga, so this is sounding right up my alley.
I guess I'm glad they're ending the present day story with this game. It's been a huge missed opportunity since AC3 and it really should've just ended there. I always loved it and thought it was the coolest thing about the series but they just didn't know where to take it.
I still enjoy the games and the new Origins/Odyssey take so I'll be there for this one.

They're not ending it at all, they're wrapping up Layla's arc (Break the Code/Node/End of the World thingy that Desmond delayed) and continuing with another modern/present day arc.
Whaaa
I need a refresher on this Layla arc because I really had no idea what the "plot" was. Unless that was explained in the Odyssey dlcs which I haven't finished yet.
OP
OP
In Origins, the Isu explained to Layla that Desmond didn't just save the world from the disaster, he only delayed it. The "end of the world" is still coming, That's where Layla and AC: Ragnarok comes in. I won't spoil anything for you about Odyssey's DLC's but something happens, more or less. Will leave you to play and figure it out yourself :)

There was a settlement in Londons location before the Roman invasion. But Vikings were only a thing in the early Middle Ages.
