The reveal will be that it is a continuation of the Origins story and focuses on the Roman Empire (Dynasty) and its continued movements after Egypt. I'm not sure if Bayek will be back or if we will play as Aya this time round though.

As much as I would adore a Chinese or Japanese Assassin's Creed, set in the height of both their Dynasties, I just don't see it happening... yet. I would be elated if it does happen though.

If it's just a sequel to Origins, then I have zero interest, as that story was the weakest part of the game for me. But I'm glad for those who enjoyed it and will get more!

I'd love a continuation of Origins by that team. It's crazy how much that game revitalized the series.

Like I'm still caught playing Black Flag atm lol. Origins will probably make next year or late this year. I don't have time for series rape again Ubisoft. Have mercy.

It kind of strikes me as unlikely that Ubisoft would send Splinter Cell to go die in the Fall.

The Division 2 will likely launch later looking at the financials from Ubisoft. They first expected 28 million units sold for FY 19 and recently moved an unannounced title to FY 20 and decreased their forecast to 23 million (while also adding The Crew 2 to FY19).

They lost me with the more naval focus. The small naval sections in Origins were the worst part.

Splinter Cell shouldn't release in fall or March. I think the end of Q2 or start of Q3 would be the best way to get the most of out the series. Not a lot of big games come out during these times, so would be a great way to sell some extra copies.

I..think it sounds..believable? there were rumors of a game set in Greece or Rome even before ACO was announced. guess that's the Greece game.

This article is nothing but baseless speculation but China would be cool

Japan has been done so many times

I'd love an AC set in India or Mayan times but that's pretty unlikely

I'd also be surprised if they went yearly again but let's see

In February or May. They had a lot of success with For Honor in February followed by Ghost Recon in March. May 2019 is not looking competitive currently either.

That said, I don't think the game is this fiscal year anyway, so February probably isn't an option.

Not sure why people thought it would be China.

I thought we knew It's Egypt -> Greece -> Rome in the current trilogy.

Anyway those Greece rumors have me interested.

i was already bored to tears with Origins... now that without the interesting Egypt landscape but in...Greece? Not for me i guess...

Assassins Creed in China that is something i could get along with...but not Greece or Rome, sounds sleep inducing

Just needs a good story for once. The last good story in AC was Black Flag.

I'm so tired of the naval stuff. It was fine in Black Flag but we don't need it anymore.

More modern day focus is always a plus to me but they've been saying that since Syndicate and haven't delivered.

Looking at ancient history trough the eyes of an Assassin is awesome.
I hope I can immerse myself as much as I did with Origins.

Greece seems like a logic next choice since Origins had already a lot of their culture in it and it means they didn't have to start from scratch.

That said, while I loved Origins I really hope that it's true and then next AC isn't released this year. Give the series some room to breathe.

Definitely skipping if they do another naval AC. Those parts always felt like some canceled Ubisoft project shoehorned into AC, now that they do expand on that part in Skull & Bones separately there is really no reason to have it in AC again.

That tidbit about Flavian dynasty means that Bayek and Aya would be long dead. Origins takes place in the 40s BCE after all. So I guess their 'story involvement' would either mean flashbacks or descendants.

If they do release anything this year I'm predicting a Freedom Cry type situation. Or perhaps Blood and Wine. Somewhere between an expansion and a sequel, but advertised as an add-on for Origins.
