Let's take this a step further.
jschreier's article about the next Assassin's Creed, coming in 2020. There's one way I'd believe you, and that was if the game got canceled as a result of their Q2 financials. But as of April, this game was a Fall 2020 title. It'd be a bombshell if it were canceled, but you're claiming it was straight up never in development?

Not ending the Modern Day story lol. Just wrapping up Layla's and starting another. Modern Day is here to stay.
bigger issue is being a little late on the viking/norse semi craze of the last decade. but it's AC so not a big deal i guess
If I read the OP link, it's not so much a 'rumour' but more like 'speculation'.
The only thing their source confirms is the title 'Ragnarok' and even that has a qualifier. The summary about story, naval and mechanics aren't leaks but musings of the author.
But hey, it's AC. I'll be there with bells on.

Zero percent.
I'm actually playing through GoW right now, as in literally just exited the game, after having just finished AC Odyssey, and I can't for the life of me figure out the GoW comments in this thread. The gameplay between these franchises isn't remotely similar, the worlds aren't remotely similar and the historical vs fantasy narrative aren't remotely similar.
God of War doesn't even have Vikings and is set completely in Norse mythology long before Vikings even existed. Any AC Viking game is going to be historically accurate with real people set in this timeline, with a smattering of sci fi and mythology tossed in for flavor.
The two games will have as much in common as Sekiro and Yakuza.
Bang on imo. GoW is 'small' in a sense: I only got halfway or so but there's very few people in it, it's clearly a game of mythology and figures. AC is about myth but it's also about 'Real World' stuff: all the NPCs and towns and animals and details designed to give the world a 'lived in' feel.
This is false on both counts. AC Kingdom is in active development, as are plenty of unannounced Ubisoft games. ACK will be out next fall, as I've reported.
This could not be any further from the truth. There are a number of unannounced Ubisoft games in production, and even more in preproduction/prototyping phases.

Well of course there are. Its Ubisoft. Even if Ubisoft told me that we have only one game in active development I wouldn't believe them.
In the past few months they are posting very often plenty of job listings for unannounced projects.
Happy times!

Sounds good and all but I want actual gods featured and not that VR simulation crap in Odyssey Ubi sells as DLC. How do you make the fall of Atlantis lame after gating it behind a paywall?
I need to win a lottery so I could pay them to make at least one LINEAR spin-off where you would be an assassin, sneaking and killing targets.
Lol, it's a bit absurd that I dream about ASSASSIN'S Creed game to be sneaky game about assassinations like it's some crazy idea.

This is without a doubt my most anticipated game right now, next to Elden Ring.
I never really liked AC much, but Origins absolutely blew me away. Having the Origins team making a fucking Viking game is like my dream come true.

My prediction for the Modern Day:
Layla will fail to stop the end of the world in Ragnarok, thus resulting in rebooting the entire AC universe (somehow) calling it now. By doing this, Ubisoft will now give people what they've wanted for 10 years. An Asian AC setting not tied by any previous lore that came before it. They'll call it ... Assassin's Creed. Release only on PS5 and Scarlett, 2021/2022.

Origins, as well as odyssey are possibly two of my favorite rpg experiences of the generation. I am in day one for this game (on ps5 or scarlett) if its more of what those games are. Given how amazing those two games can look, im willing to bet that this game will be one of the next gen show pieces at launch
Even if Schrier didn't come in here and wipe away any validity to your statement, who in the ever-living fuck would be dumb enough to believe this? It's Ubisoft. Just stop.
have you heard anything about beyond good and evil 2 that you can share? I kind of assumed it would come out next holiday as a next gen launch title. But i wonder if the delays of gods and monsters, quarantine, and watchdogs 3 moved that back even further
Everything in that leak sounds plausible except maybe the degree of involvement of the gods, but then they do always go for recognizable figures. For all their popularity the Vikings have few.
I would have preferred for them to finish an ancient world trilogy with Rome, but they already did Julius Caesar in Origins and the world might have seemed too similar to Odyssey. But seeing what the assassins were up to during the fall of Rome would have been cool.

Can't they make what THEY want to make, what inspire them??? I much prefer something the team love than something they feel obliged to do just because of the fans
hope it's less like Odyssey and more like Origins. I loved both games, but Odyssey's world and content was mostly copy and pasted and felt like it was just put together. Lacked a lot of detail that Origins had.
It would be a waste if they did Japan and you didn't play as a ninja. They didn't exist during the time Tsushima is set for in.
If they did Japan they would 100% do Sengoku Jidai, set it on a national scale, and have conquest battles between daimyo. It would be a different setup than Tsushima.
I feel like they're holding off on that one 1) because it's too obvious, and 2) they should save it for later down the line when the technology can truly do it justice.
Obviously they can. I also reserve the right to make fun of it because Vikings are lame.
the setting almost sounds like The Last Kingdom and i'm sooooooo in for that. let me tear ass in northumbria and mercia pls thanks
100% lol, I couldn't stand all the microtransactions that found there way into Odyssey, which ended up being one of my favorite games that year.
I thought so my dude but with people here stan for all sorts of things so you can never be certain!
I would rather the main character of my assassin game not be a screaming brute with an axe. It's becoming increasingly difficult to take these protagonists seriously when none of them are in any way equipped to be stealthy.
Like if you want to make an RPG series set at various points in history just drop the assassin concept or spin off into an entirely new franchise. There's no logical reason for a VIKING to be a stealth assassin.
Couldn't you reframe that equally in response to Sekiro, Nioh, and the upcoming Sucker Punch feudal Japan game had they gone that direction?
I don't think it has anything really in common with Sekiro or Nioh, no. The SETTING isn't the problem as much as the FRAMEWORK.
You could potentially argue there's some overlap with Tsushima, yes, but I would imagine this game is going to come out before Tsushima does.
I mean, if you're really looking for proper stealth then this is the wrong series. I don't think it's ever been about proper stealth. The first games made a token effort with their 'social stealth' mechanics but even then it was shallow and more about cool action, and since then the stealth aspects have faded more and more into the background.
Which is a shame considering how miserably janky the actual combat is in Origins and especially Odyssey. I wish they'd cool it the fuck off with the scale of their maps (did Odyssey really need like three entire regions that you NEVER GO TO during the main story?) and put some more effort into polishing the core mechanics.
Make stealth viable again, make combat less janky, and calm the hell down with the mercenary mechanics.
When has this series ever been about real, proper stealth? Idk, I'm all about this setting.
Still waiting on a AAA studio to develop an open world with african gods or folk tales with characters like Anasi. Also the protagonist would be a black male or female, But the gaming world ain't ready for that. I guess they'll just make multiple variations on norse mythology and japanese yokai until they get bored.
I can't wait to see what this game looks like on next-gen.
I still remember being blown away by Black Flag on release as it was the first game I bought with my OG Xbone.
That water!! The shanties!!
Ubisoft are great supporters of new platforms and they'll totally have Ragnarok looking absolutely stunning on both new consoles.
I hope the February reveal is true as it means not too long to wait before we get our first proper look at next gen. Things like TLOU2 can't have been shown on PS5 benchmarked tech because that would basically be false advertising. Showing off a game to sell current gen products using tech that those settings current gen cannot achieve.
Sony are going to have some other stuff to show which should look amazing.

Origins is literally based in Africa, starring a black protagonist.
Yes, though the amount of it differs pretty starkly from game to game.
