Rygte: Det næste Assassin's Creed hedder Ragnarok
Opdatering: Rygtet har vist sig at være falsk, og billederne er faktisk fra Unity-grafikmotoren. Adskillige rapporter har dog fastslået at det næste spil vil foregå under vikingetiden. Dog har disse rapporter beskrevet spillet med navnet "Kingdom" i stedet for "Ragnarok".
I marts måned begyndte adskillige rapporter at dukke op, der beskrev det næste Assassin's Creed-spil, der angiveligvis foregår i Vikingetiden. Nu er flere informationer tilsyneladende dukket op, der har givet spillet et navn - Ragnarok.
Som WCCFTech skriver så er en masse information åbenbart dukket op på 4Chan sammen med nogle meget tidlige billeder af spillet, som er foruden grafisk detalje, men som bare er til tekniske demonstrationer og tests.
Rapporten siger at spillet placerer sig dog på en tæt allieret til Ragnar Lodbrok, en legendarisk viking som fans af tv-showet Vikings bør kende. Åbenbart ankommer Assassin's Creed: Ragnarok næste år og er "cross-gen".
