The most curious I am about it is the name. Because it seems like every leak was wrong and Kingdom is the working title.

I know, but let me dream.
Maybe they made two of them :)
Oh sure, dream away :) - I'm mostly just posting for the sake of anyone who hasn't seen the Viking rumours.

That's certainly true, but I usually would expect these kind of things to come later in the day, prime time evening/night for Europe. It's probably nothing tbh, it just sticks out as a bit of weirdness to me.
I think we'll see more of this kind of timing in future for any companies that want to start appealing more to China. This time is convenient for most of the world and even for the places where it's not convenient, they'll be waking up while the news is still relatively fresh.

This is not related to Assassin's Creed. They wouldn't announce it like that.

Are you aware that when a game is revealed all the regional branches gear up to reveal the game in their own language? lol

No need to be condescending, I was simply why specifically Ubi China. Is AC huge there or something? Have we heard from any of the other regions outside of Ubi China for this 5AM reveal?

Oh cool, fingers crossed for an announcement of a full game, not some mobile stuff. I wonder what setting it will be. Rumors about vikings were conflicting.

I'm super confused by the timing of this today - 8pm China time would be 1pm in the UK. But Sacriel said " Gonna be co-streaming a new game announcement at 8pm UK time (3pm ET)" which would be 7 hours after whatever the China announcement is.

This is also confusing me. Maybe some aftershow event with gameplay from content creators?

I'm so unbelievably down for a Viking themed AC, preferably a launch title for next gen so I can proper sink into it

Somewhat different context because it was already leaked, but they announced Odyssey in a Tweet with a 4-second GIF.

Man I wish we'd get a full AC set in China one day.
It was on the last survey Ubisoft did of potential settings for future AC games. I think it's inevitable at some point.

The only reason rumours about Vikings were conflicting was that there were several fake "leaks". I don't think there's been a single credible suggestion that the game would have anything other than a Viking setting.

Sacriel (huge Twitch streamer) just tweeted he will be co-hosting a new Ubisoft game announcement as well at 8pm UK time.

please include a bit of Finland. let me free the Castle of Turku from germanic invaders!

would be amazing to walk around in a building i used to work summers at. they could include the crazy old painting of the devil taking a literal dump on sinners. i used to stare at it and think who the hell painted this wackiness all those hundreds of years ago.

Definitely in the mood for another AC. I really loved Odyssey and hope this captures the same spirit, though of course improving on its flaws.

I wonder if we'll get a 1pm tease for a reveal later in the same day or similar? Meaning at 1pm UK is a tease for a larger teaser/trailer at 8pm UK time. Either that or the China time of 8pm is incorrect and it's actually UK time of 8pm when the announcement is happening.

Yeah, Schreier wrote about the related teaser in The Division 2 roughly a year ago and mentioned it confirmed what he'd been hearing:

An unusual teaser in Ubisoft's loot shooter The Division 2, highlighted weeks after the game's release, reveals that the next Assassin's Creed game is all about Vikings. Kotaku can independently confirm the same.

lol do you have a name or a link to that painting? I'm curious now.

Yeah the only thing that actually could make me excited at this point for a vikings ass creed is the historical accuracy and tourism aspect of it, now that I think of it. But I don't know if there's much to do in this case versus bigger more modern cities like London was.

I'm betting on Beyond Good & Evil or some other game (I feel like other Ubisoft account than Ubisoft China would be teasing if it was something as huge as Assassin's Creed). But let's see.

Another bloated wannabe RPG game that has nothing to do with Assassins, can't wait!!

But seriously I miss the old Assassin's Creed...

Likewise. Odyssey is beautiful and all but I can only take so much lol

I'll be there day 1 for Norse AC anyways haha

Hopefully it's bigger than Odyssey, that game wasn't enough for me even with the DLCs

You wild for that one 🤣
