Next Assassin's Creed Game Reportedly Set During The Viking Age

God of Skyrim Assassins War Creed.

Well, if they did set the next AC game in Japan they've have really picked the worst timing for it. Had they done so a few years ago though they'd be ahead of all the other games that are coming out now, like Sekiro that has just been released.

China would still be a good option, but they've already set a PS title there and seem to not want to reuse scenarios for the proper games for some reason. As if anyone had played those PSP games.

Sounds good. I hope there's not too much boat activity as it seems Vikings did a lot of travelling by boat to conquer an area. May be too much like Black Flag.. Hope not..

Origins was the best for me. Think it had the right balance going on whereas Odyssey gave me open world fatigue.. Good game although i could not finish it.

Feel like Japan or China would maybe be a good place to base the next AC..? ;)

Do Aztecs and the Templar’s can be Cortez’s invading Spanish army trying to find the apple

i'll play Ubisoft games again when they stop deliberately uglifying women in video games. Women in Greece and Egypt were and still are very attractive yet Ubisoft manages to make all women look like feet.

Vikings would be a fun setting, but not for Assassins Creed. I think Rome would have been a better alternative. I know they've technically done Rome (I think it was 16th century), but having one set in a few year 44 B.C.E. would be really interesting.

When are we going to get a woke Sub-saharan Shaka Zulu AC complete with transgendered Asian NPCs and evil white men colonialists? I'm sure that's what Ubi really wants to make.

I loved Origins, thought it was a step in the right direction for the series. Odyssey was disappointing though, I rarely drop a game I start but after 80 hrs it became a drag, the game is way too bloated, who wants to check off icons like a mad man and get seemingly nowhere. That game would take like 300+ hours to complete by my rough estimation, if done 100% (only way I roll). It wasn't even that good or fun.

I've kept up with the series, excluding some games, out of habit but Odyssey made me think I've had enough, that these games simply don't offer enough to be worth the time, time that could be invested in so many other choices. So if I had a wish for the future AC it would be please make the next one more like Origins, and less like Odyssey. Why the latter is praised is beyond me. It's an awfully flawed, mediocre game.

They're really doing everything they can to avoid placing the game in Japan.

Mehhh same game nothing new boring as hell. After god of war who can dare goes to the north???honestly???odyssey and origin have identity crysis. They are not either Ac game nor that zelda/witcher/monster hunter they want to be. I am sure the new game Has the exact menus exact combat same upgrades and even same animations. I dont know why people play ubisoft games.

Meh. Same game, different skins.

Nice, I dig it.

i would definitely prefer the viking age to ancient rome. Although i think both would be pretty cool, I feel like Scandinavia would feel much more unique.

I wouldn't complain. I enjoyed the Egyptian and Greek settings with the last 2 games. Vikings would be a nice new twist. Leaves a lot of room to create a unique story, I think.

Not sure vikings were big on stealth, unless it's just becoming a pure brawler.

Next one is Ancient Rome to complete the ancient history trilogy of Origins and Odyssey which in a leak before Origin hinted that Egypt, Greece and Rome would be settings two of which have come true. But this and Japan could come after as Japan has been teased before too.

Only a day behind IGN with this 'news', GameSpot. A poster of a Viking with the word Valhalla doesn't really mean anything yet.

I actually think this could be really cool. The AC games have done a great job of really painting a great historical picture for gamers to consume (even if not perfectly), and as much as people like to think they know about Vikings, well, they probably don't know much, likely. I love ancient Greece and have been having a blast with the authenticity and detail put into Odyssey, so anything Norse could be fantastic. Sure, I'm always rallying for Japan or China, as I think they are landscapes and cultures perfect for adapting a series about assassins, but in the meantime, I'll happily take vikings if done right.

Again, i think a great era to explore, but sword combat on AC games aren't very good. It always seems i'm looking for "Dark Souls" like sword combat. I always thought AC did very good with the guns like in AC 3 or Rogue if they got you into some bigger battles. Would've loved a Civil War theme.

Look at the people complaining already and it's not even announced yet, it's just theories. Though personally I think it sounds great if true. I love the new AC formula (though I skipped Odyssey) so this one would be very appealing.

It's coming out next year? Jesus. They're developing these games so fast, I hardly have time to ignore one entry before the next one comes out.

Vikings really. I can already see how the armor and weapons would look. LIKE EVERY OTHER SKYRIM CHARACTER OR ENEMY in ODYSSSEY!! So basically the same medieval crap. Japan wouldve been the way to go!! Why TF do they keep avoiding ninjas n samurai and our money?? I get artistic expression n all, but they are clearly avoiding what would work.

Bahahahahahahahahaha good lord Ubisoft just kill this series already.
