Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok/Kingdom
Rumors of Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed game started not long after the launch of Odyssey and they haven’t really let up since.
First, it was referred to as “Kingdom,” then subsequent rumors claimed it was “Ragnorok” (the most recent of which was recently debunked) — either way, they both shared an important common ground that we’re particularly interested in: a Viking setting.
Norse history and mythology are all the rage at the moment if you hadn’t noticed. The History Channel’s Vikings, Netflix’s The Last Kingdom, Hellblade, God of War, etc — there’s an appetite for Viking content and we think that makes it a likely candidate for Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed game setting.
Not to mention, it would just make a damn cool Assassin’s Creed theme, too, right? The prospect of the series’ hallmark ship combat using Viking longboats has us humming sea shanties already. Actually, on that note, we’d love to see Ubisoft really lean into this aspect of the experience, Black Flag style. Vikings were the original pirates, after all.
