Ubisoft has included a pretty interesting teaser in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 about the next Assassin’s Creed game. According to a poster, which is located within the Potomac Event Center in Washington DC, the next AC game will be Vikings-themed.
In this poster, a Norse god or traveler is holding the Apple of Eden. We can also clearly see the word ‘Valhalla’ in that poster, hinting at a Vikings setting for the next Assassin’s Creed game.
This poster was discovered by YouTube’s ‘JorRaptor’ and Kotaku’s Jason Schreier claims that this is indeed the real deal. Schreier states that two independent sources familiar with the game told him that the next Assassin’s Creed game, which will come out in 2020, will feature Vikings.
Although we don’t know anything else about the Assassin’s Creed 2020 game, it’s at least good knowing its setting. Our guess is that this new AC game will be a cross-gen release so it will be interesting to see whether there will be big differences between the current-gen and the next-gen versions, and whether the PC version will be based on the current or the next-gen version.
Stay tuned for more!

i also heard that the next AC will be set in japan.. lel
An AC game set in japan would be great.
gonna be sekiro shadows die three times.
Haha, Shadows Die Three times…
Must say, didn’t see that coming.
My immediate reaction. Black vikings.
Where? Show me your proof.
they were primitive species of h*mo sapiens with blue eyes they werent african.
Ok don’t be literally the dumbest person ever born. They weren’t a “primitive species” for starters, they were the exact same species as you are right now. Vikings were only in the past 1300 years.
Vikings did raid Africa, but we’re not talking actual Africa – more like Morocco. Morocco by the time of Vikings was more Arabic than African after the migrations of Arabs.
There were likely black Africans, sure, but not a lot that would have been captured.
Politically correct Vikings.
Vikangz and shield-maidens.
Great setting
they had blue eyes they werent africans.
thats a bit too far fetched why would they go all the way down there?
sounds about right, UK at this point is 1984.
Yeah no, stop being retarded.
Another MMO”RPG” with SUPER armors and weapons for real $$$?
No no.
We got to wear skirts and got to be gay but still dont get to be samurai. Being progressive only goes as far as being black or female.
Is it hard to make Japanese setting on AC games?if they afraid the game they made is not japanese enough,why don’t they hire/collaborate with some reputable Japanese Dev…
I’ve been asking myself too much… I don’t think they understand potential behind it. Shame.
That already exists, it’s called Ghost of Tsushima
Doesn’t exist yet… And it’s PS4 only (so far)…
I actually think Ubi does plan on Ninja’s – it’s probably going to be their Ultimate Title in the series. Just not the next one.
Sometimes I wonder why the hell they don’t just make a game set in Sub-Saharan Africa instead of doing sh*t like that.
Just like almost anyone els, they sure do
It’s too bad that Vivendi didn’t just swallow UbiSoft like a black hole in space.
Haha seriously. Why not make all the Templars wealthy white men and all the Assassins black welfare beneficiaries? Message couldn’t be clearer than that.
I dunno man, should I get back to AC games?
I played and finished the first four major games, I got bored while playing AC3 a few years ago.
ac3 was meh and black flag was even worse.
Now its a open world actin rpg.
The Ezio trilogy was the golden age of AC.
Yes that was AC. Black flag was god damn pirate game. Black flag was not an AC game. That’s why I also despised God Of War 4 and Mass Effect Andromeda because they are not God Of War & Mass Effect Games. They are quite lazy knock offs and doesn’t deserve to bare the name. And now that idiot Corey Balrog is getting all the praises and awards for not a God Of War Game. That game is trash… I got God Of War 4 on sale and a feel ripped the helm off. The combat is so lazy, has no style or finesse. Just some big idiot with an Axe.
Starting from Unity, the games were good, but the reason to play them is the settings. Max out the graphics and just explore the world.
Ubi’s done a great job in this respect, despite all the complaining and teeth gnashing.
nice now you get to lock to targets and spam roll button in viking setting.
Bahahahaha, damn straight ?
Wow. So you’re the one person who used that feature.
Did you get a free baseball cap?
Yeah, but not black. lol
Only the well hung ones.
For somebody thats so progressive you sure do like your stereotypes.
Not like I’d care for Creed, let alone any Ubi game at this point, what with them getting fully into bed with Epic.
Blocked all their crap on Steam at the end of the day.
I would normally agree with you but… I never understood why the hell would anyone buy a Ubisoft game on steam when you need to have Uplay running as well. Like, that is way too many layers of DRM/clients in running at once. It is very clear that Ubisoft left steam years ago and you fools never saw it for some reason. They only kept their game on other stores, for the “crowd/audience” because you still need to have Uplay/run the game from uplay. Why not just buy the damn thing from uplay directly if that’s the case. I never understood that rubbish.
Therefor as much as I hate the epic store and Ubisoft, this Ubisoft/epic store deal isn’t the same as the rest and shouldn’t even matter. Just buy the blasted game from Uplay. What idiot buys a game on a client and then have to have the original client open at the same time. This has always been one the dumbest Schitt I’ve ever seen people do when it comes to Uplay & steam. That is very stupid and don’t tell me that it’s about my “friends list”, cause you just tie the game to steam regardless and open it through steam and still have steams overlay and Uplay overlay all at the same time.
Does not matter since i keep Steam on 24/7 and i like to start my games trough it by clicking the icon on bottom right and it shows me the last 5 games.
The recent games final;ly have steam achievements and stuff but that’s about it. With Ubicrap games it is literally only about the launcher.
Also you don’t have to have Steam open to play a uplay game. Only if you want it to track your game time or use any steam features, derp.
Also ubisoft is garbage and anything I can do to give them less money, I’ll do. Especially buy their games through Steam.
At this point Ubisoy may as well rename Assassin’s Creed to Apollo Creed. ?
Inb4 the protagonist works for the government and enforces the spying on people.
Odyssey was excellent, Ubisoft didn’t get nearly as much credit for it as they deserved. It was on par with The Witcher 3 IMO
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaahhht really.
I wouldn’t say it was that level of greatness, But yeah it was pretty good to be honest.
Ancient Greece setting, Can’t go wrong there.
I thought I read a month ago the next one was going to be ancient Rome?
Which would be another good setting, But hey I won’t complain about Vikings either.
There is nothing “Assassin’s” about an Assassin’s Creed games. You roll around like a pr*ck all day long.
and you cant assassinate them if they are higher level than you.
True. Ancient Vikings had huge health bars and lotsa HP
Add to that that it’s a freaking grocery list game. Such a borefest. We need a digital dog to play those games cause they are fetch quest games I’ve grown out of 20 years ago.
100% agree. To put it best, a friend of mines under said. “When ever I look at an AC game map, it’s as if Ubisoft took a blunderbuss, loaded it with Schitt and then fire it on the map”

Today in Ubisoft:
– Heh, they found it. All talk about Vikings and now they think they know. Haha.
– What do you mean? I though that next AC is really about Vikings.
– No, we stick to plan A. It will be huge suprise for all next year!
– Ok, no problem…… BTW did someone tell the developers that we stick to plan A and not the Vikings?
– ? Eeeeehm….
– I see. That will be really huge surprise for all.
🙂
Hopefully Ubisoft knows that 50/50 male female Viking soldier/raider ratio was debunked as soon as feminists tried to make it a fact
Meh, we already got God of War for that. They should just explore Asian settings (excluding AC: Chronicles because it a 2D garbage game).
Wake me up when they reach Feudal Japan, maybe then.
sekiro easy mode.
Definitely! Sekiro is great, I fell in love with the combat system but I had to stop after 100 hours so I can actually write the review. 🙂
Not exactly sure what the big deal is if the game does end up having black vikings in it. The series has already passed the point when it used to be semi accurate whenever they portrayed a certain culture. Now I’m starting to see minotaurs, giant snakes and all that. Kinda humorous how people find pigments to be more outrageous than those things.
With more people concerned over the historical accuracy of a game about the memories of a fictional order of assassins instead of how said game is being bogged down with microtransactions and needless grind in order to make said microtransactions more enticing, no wonder gaming is going to sh*t.
