Rumours about the next Assassin’s creed game have been swirling about during the series’ much-needed break. The latest one is suggesting that it’ll go down the Syndicate route, with a pair of male and female protagonists.

Thus far, we’ve heard that the project’s title is Assassin’s Creed Empire, and that the setting for the game will be Egypt.

WWG claims to have spoken to sources at Ubisoft who have confrmed that the game will be revealed at E3 in a few weeks, and that the new title is Assassin’s Creed Origins.

Apparently the game is “a vast open world experience” set in Egypt, telling the tale of the original Assassin’s guild. Character progression won’t be intertwined with the story to the same extent as previous titles in the series, with one of the sources going so far as to compare it to Skyrim. Players can even venture beyond the bounds of Egypt, “possibly even as far as Greece,” says WWG.

Boats and naval combat are also purported to be a part of the gameplay.

The freedom and exploration sound like a far cry from the usual fare of the franchise. Another source told WWG that Assassin’s Creed Origins is the game will be “huge,” and the biggest Assassin’s Creed game created.

Following the E3 2017 reveal, we can expect a fall release which is in line with the series’ usual October release date.
