So there's an AC related easter egg in the Division 2 that hints at a Viking setting, seen in the video above there's a poster featuring a norse god holding an apple of eden. Ubi has a history of hinting at future games with easter eggs.
If we're to assume that the next AC game is an evolution of the concepts/core gameplay introduced in the last 2 AC games instead of the next overhaul, then a Viking setting makes sense.
Pls enjoy this unrelated concept art of such a game by one of Ubi's concept artists.
EDIT
Jason Schreier from Kotaku confirms:

So does this mean that the next Assassin's Creed, confirmed by Ubisoft to be skipping 2019 and going straight to 2020 (just in time for the expected release of next-gen consoles), is all about Vikings? Well, yes. Yes it does. A few months before this teaser emerged, Kotaku learned from two independent sources familiar with the game that 2020's Assassin's Creed, code-named Kingdom, does indeed star Vikings. We don't know much else about the game, but after the phenomenal Assassin's Creed Odyssey, we're stoked to see what's coming.
Ubisoft declined to comment.
