Assassin's Creed Ragnarok info

There's a lot of crap being said on the next AC these few days, so let's tell real stuff for once.

Game is indeed to be called Ragnarok, and set during the Viking era, during the first invasion of England (9th century)

Will probably be revealed during the sony event in february

Map will include Scandinavia and part of England, with London as big city, as well as some english counties.

There is the choice between a male protagonist and a female protagonist, but this doesn't change the plot. Both are called Jora. Protagonist went to England during the invasion and goes back to Scandinavia later, after he became an assassin.

Game begins during battle of Linsdifrane, where you raid an island and invade a castle.

Your protagonist has a very strong link with gods, especially Odin. There are often visions of him, and of Asgard.

The First Civilization plot will be further expanded in this game, with a lot of norse gods being part of the game, as well as Yggdrasil and realms.

Combat system brings back shields and you can use longswords or big axes. Heavy weapons in general.

Naval gameplay is here purely for exploration or in battles. You cant fight on sea.

There are still big battles as in Odyssey, where you raid islands and take the control. You must then control them and try to keep them yours, because they can be attacked.

There are still superpowers abilities.

Dialogue choices are still in the game

You can recruit a lot of NPCs to join the assassins, like you did in AC Brotherhood

You still have a pet bird to scan the map but not an eagle anymore. Instead it's a raven.

You play as the ancestor of Osto Berg, hostage of the assassins. Some old characters come back, but present day isn't a big part of the game.
