This year (definitely in the fiscal year, running until late March…), there will be a new Assassin’s Creed, and someone leaked some info about it.

The post is coming from a user on Twitter, and a French website, JVL, calls this person reliable. He used a bullet point list to describe what he knows, but we’ll put it together into coherent sentences. The game will have a Viking theme, but it’s unlikely to have the subtitle Kingdom, and even using Ragnarok seems impossible for now.

The hidden blade is going to make a return, meaning you’ll always have a way to defend yourself (or to secretly get rid of your enemies), and you will also have a shield to use. The protagonist is going to be a female character, but Ubisoft might be giving you the choice to pick a male person, too. The name, though, is not going to be Jora (there were rumours about that before…).

2020’s Assassin’s Creed will not focus solely on Scandinavia, as there will be other locations, too. The game will go even more into RPG territory, more so than Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. There will be supernatural elements in the game, too, and these will be related to the first civilization, which should be the Sumer one, but we might be wrong about that. However, we shouldn’t expect co-op gameplay this time around: you’ll have to discover the world on your own.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Ubisoft is planning to bring Assassin’s Creed back by the end of the year, and then, it is likely the game is a cross-gen title, meaning it would not only be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, but the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X as well.

These are not confirmed information, though. Ubisoft would probably have announced the game at E3, but since that got cancelled, it might happen at the digital E3 replacement, namely IGN’s Summer of Gaming.
