'Assassin's Creed 2020' Is 'Assassin's Creed: Ragnarok'; Gameplay, Maps, Release Date, And More

Over the past months, the gaming community has been talking about the next “Assassin’s Creed” installment that might be released next year. Initially, gamers referred to it “Assassin’s Creed 2020” of “Assassin’s Creed: Kingdom” for lack of official name. But, a new leak surfaced earlier today, revealing that the upcoming game will be officially called “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok,” along with details about its gameplay mechanics, maps, and launch window.

On Reddit, an anonymous leaker claims to have knowledge of some of the details of Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok.” The highly anticipated game is reportedly releasing in the later part of 2020. It will feature a Viking setting showcasing Scandinavia and a significant portion of England, including Plymouth and London, the tipster shares.

Prominent mythological spots like Jotunheim and Asgard reportedly will be explorable. Additionally, “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok” will be released in both current generation and next-generation gaming consoles, the tipster reveals. Gamers can expect the grand launch of the upcoming Ubisoft game in Feb. 2020.

The main protagonist of the game can either be a male or a female and is called Jora. “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok” will also feature the Brotherhood system with NPC that can be recruited. Players can use a boat as a means of transportation on the sea.

Moreover, there will be less naval combat in the upcoming game, the tipster shares. “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok” will center on revenge quest with a great potion focused on the first civilization story. Other gameplay mechanics introduced in “Assassin’s Creed: Origins” and “Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey” will also be in the game, but the tipster fails to disclose the specifics.

There will be mythical beings in “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok,” including Loki, Odin, or Ygdrassil, who will play a significant role in the game’s storyline. The upcoming game will also feature a present-day storyline, but it will of the same caliber as that of “Assassin’s Creed: Origins” and “Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.” It is worth noting that these details are unconfirmed, and considering the nature of the tipster, we have no way of verifying if the information is accurate.
