As for the authenticity of the post, we’re still uncertain how this information exists. The screens attached to the leak do look legitimate – it appears they’re taken from a prototype build of the game.
We may have expected to hear an announcement about the game at E3… but that still feels pretty early for a game of this size and scope. If this leak is legit, we’re willing to bet there is some frustration in Ubisoft HQ right now.
It’s also interesting to note Ubisoft may be trying to release the game under Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok when it’s heavily suggested that ‘Ragnarok’ would be the subtitle for the next God of War game, too.
Take everything you’ve read here with a handful of salt until we hear anything concrete from Ubisoft. We’ll keep you updated as any more information breaks.
