One of the heavily speculated titles since last year is Ubisoft’s next “Assassin’s Creed” game. So far, the game developer has not yet confirmed the official name of the upcoming title, so to avoid confusion, we will call it “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok.” A new theory about the forthcoming recently surfaced online, which could reveal the plot of the game.

Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok” Plot

Assuming that rumors surrounding “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok” is true that it would be about Vikings, one report claims a possible theory, where its plot could center. The new theory is exploring on the literal meaning of the term Ragnarok based on Nordic mythology. According to Gamepro, the title alone is indicative of doomsday.

The site explains that the term Ragnarok is about the end of the world. It is the time where the gods battle with giants and lasts for three long years. The result of this war left the world in shambles, which is followed by the Fimbul Winter. Moreover, the site toys with the idea that the “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok” would likely be centered on doomsday.

Ubisoft’s Naming Game

Ubisoft is seemingly following a certain pattern on its game releases, and it might as well happen in “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok.” Gamerant notices this and points out that the subtitles are usually indicative of the game’s content and story. “Assassin’s Creed: Rogue” shows the main character transition from being an assassin to becoming a Templar.

“Assassin’s Creed: Origins” gives fans the assassins and their respective origins, while the Odyssey allows players to tread in Homer’s version in ancient Greece.

The Role of Kooh-I-Noor

Assuming that “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok” is about doomsday, the precious stone that was created during the Isu civilization could play a crucial role. The gemstone could be the reason for the doomsday.

Release Window

It is worth noting that these details are not official and are merely based on a theory. But it is interesting if this pans out in the future. Meanwhile, Ubisoft CEO earlier confirmed that it is releasing three major AAA games this year and a couple more in 2021. While the executive did not explicitly reveal the name of the games, one of them could be “Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok.” If this is the case, fans can expect the next “Assassin’s Creed” title arriving in the first quarter of next year.
