A new leak about Ubisoft’s upcomingAssassin’s Creedgame is making the rounds online. The latest leak stems from an anonymous 4chan post, as previous leaks have, so it should be taken as a rumor until proven otherwise. The leak shows what’s said to be a blurry off-screen photo ofAssassin’s Creed Ragnarok, plus it provides a variety of previously unknown information about the game. Ubisoft’s nextAssassin’s Creedgame has not been officially announced, as of yet.
The image itself depicts what appears to be a female protagonist with long red hair holding a round shield in front of her. An enemy or NPC stands in front of her. It could be a knight, but the blur makes it difficult to discern their clothing/armor. There’s also a sign of either a sword or a hammer on the building in the background that could imply it’s a blacksmith. Otherwise, theAssassin’s Creed Ragnarokimage shows some trees and what could be fencing.

The short description accompanying the image provides some further context. According to the post, this is a photo ofAssassin’s Creed Ragnarok’s “female version of the protagonist.” That insinuates thatRagnarokwill feature both a woman and a man for players to choose from. Her name is Jora. The setting is intended to be a huge map with large regions of both land and water, taking place around both Scandinavia and England.
Expanding further, the leak says thatAssassin’s Creed Ragnarokis being developed by the same team that madeAssassin’s Creed Origins. Gameplay, as a result, will be very similar to bothOriginsandOdyssey. The leaker also claims to know whenAssassin’s Creed Ragnarokwill be officially announced. It’ll be revealed on February 12 at an as-yet-unannounced PlayStation event.Assassin’s Creed Ragnarokwill then be released in Octoberlater this year.
Given the source of the leak, this information should be considered unreliable until further confirmation is available. That the leaker provides a blurry photograph as evidence makes their claims very suspect. That said, their information does partly align with previous leaks.Ragnarokis often the referenced title of the game, though its codename isAssassin’s CreedKingdom. And otherwise expectations point towardsRagnarokbeing quite similar to previous games.
Assassin’s Creedfans apparently won’t have to wait long to have these rumors confirmed. February 12 is less than a month away. Expect an update soon.
The nextAssassin’s Creedgame is confirmed for 2020 but has yet to be officially announced.
