[4Chan Rumor] Assassin's Creed Ragnarok Leak (Disproven)

Okay, this sounds like a dream game for me, hopefully this is all true, I'm waiting a Nordic AC for wayyy too long, and it being focused on exploration and it having less focus on ship combat is exactly what I wanted, after loving Origins but being kinda eh about Odyssey.
No, only 2x. I expect the game map to be maybe 1.5x the size of Odyssey or else it might be too unwieldy.
Just ignore the teapot drama, as if an AC game is worth fighting over.
most people know this is disposable pop entertainment murder sim and don't care if it is historically accurate as long as it does the power fantasy thing and the narrative strokes the ego. An historically accurate game would be dull, disturbing, and offputting.
Let me eventually run like the flash since we'lll have a way beefier CPU now. I was a demigod in Odyssey and jumping from any height was dope. Now lemme run like the wind and forget about horses.
God of War 2: The Dark Word
Well, it should be large but at the same time it's going to be a lot smaller than the actual one. Even Greece in Odyssey had huge chunks removed (Macedonia was a joke, same for western Greece) and even the biggest islands felt tiny. I guess, they are going to reduce the distance between Scandinavia and the UK a lot (like they did in Odyssey and the Aegean sea).
Ooh! Norse mythology and Nordic setting in an AC game? Yes please!
Not sure about the name though. Ragnarok has major implications and it sets the name apart from pretty much every previous AC. Would be cool if they went with "Assassin's Creed: Saga", but I imagine "AC Vikings" is the safe option here.

it has had gods, magic, and bullshit tech since the first game.
Seems very susp especially since the Great Heathen Army was formed to avenge Ragnar, so he would be dead by that point.
Also Iceland wasn't settled until at least a decade or two after GHA. and Finland don't really have much to do with the vikings, being they are a completly different culture.
I know AC take some liberties with their stuff but they usually good with keeping people and places acurate to the time period.
Also those screens look really bad.
EDIT: Finland, not Findland lol

God I hope this happens eventually just so people will shut the fuck up about it.
There's time. Its actualy good that they havent done it until now. The gamedesign of the old series was really shit. The worst combat in the world, tail missions, feather collecting, extremely scripted missions that had you with game over if you didnt follow the exact path or even went a bit too far from the target. They really were poorly conceived games up until Origins. A game with ninja or samurai would have been utterly wasted on that shit gamedesign. They're on a much better track now with Origins and Oddisey. Let them improve it a bit more with another couple of games, then we'll get our asian AC
Holy shit Finland
Could be the first Ass Creed I actually buy
torilla tavataan!
I like the series a lot, played all of the main games so far but Odyssey and the one that came out for last generation when the next generation got the Pirate game.
For some reason, this doesn't sound interesting at all to me.

The art direction will sell this for me. I hope they go as crazy as odyssey because northen aesthetic can look dull
Color me hyped.
I just hope shield usage will be optional, Odyssey made me realize how much the shield bothered me in Origins.

This bit is interesting. I wonder if they mean the map is several open-world areas like The Witcher 3 or whether the map is some sort of condensed version of the whole of Britannia and Scandinavia. The latter sounds incredibly ambitious.
I mean Thor Ragnarok hit before either of them soooooo it's not like Sony had the great Norse reckoning in mind first.
Idk, I dont like the idea of foisting Western mythos onto Eastern cultures and exploiting that culture for an ubi murder sim. Maybe if they could get JPN/CHN devs, actors, writers, etc. to actually make the game.
waiting on that AC Japan to go full next gen
(or china)
ubi please
Agreed, but at the same time considering how fucking gorgeous the last two games are I'm not bothered that much.
Finland didn't have permanent viking settlements but still a lot of trade with vikings and some finns also took part on the viking expeditions ( for example sword of the viking bodyguard of byzantine emperor Constantine VIII has been found in Finland) so I guess finnish part of the game could about viking - finnish cooperation.
You guys slow down asking for a feudal AC game, we already have Ghost of Tsushima and NiOh 2 coming, also Sekiro was just released, a nordic AC is way more exciting especially with all these countries supposedly included, I don't think we ever had a AAA open world in these countries, it would be so refreshing to this to be true... next we need an African empire that is not in Egypt and the next one to be Aztec/Mayan/Inca setting and then you guys can have your AC Japan. Alright?!?!

Or they could just make shit up as long as it was entertaining?
The Kingdom of Finland? That alone makes me not believe this leak. Despite all the insanity surrounding the Assassin's Creed story, Ubisoft usually does try to get the locations mostly right. "The Kingdom of Finland" is a fictional country, Finland wasn't a unified country during the time the game is supposedly set, it was just a collection of tribes.
EDIT: Or are they just talking about the regions instead of an actual country of "Finland", that would make more sense.
