Reddit user DudeWithName, recently shareda postthat supposedly contains details on the game’s active development, including its genre, story and gameplay, which sound like a drastic departure from the series’ traditional formula.
The game will also see the return of previous series protagonists, like Edward Kenway, Altair and Evie Frye, who will apparently act as merchants in the game’s hub-world, Ezio’s Villa Auditore.

Four classes will be selectable, Spartan, Apache, Medjay and Viking, each with their own unique skills and playstyles, as well as being callbacks to the previous centuries the games take place in. Spartans have a sword and shield and act as the main offence, as well as strengthening their own attacks with buffs. Apache will be agile, with two axes that can have altered battle stances. Medjay’s seem to be best at traversal, with a double-jump and enhanced parkour abilities. Finally, Vikings are essential tanks that can heal and revive allies during fights.
Fans don’t sound very impressed with the rumoured title, with the main concern being that its emulated looters likeAvengersandGotham Knights, which came under fire for microtransactions as well as generally being grind-fests with little to no substance.
“‘in the vain of Gotham Knights, Avengers, etc’ I mean sure, why wouldn’t you want to copy the homework of such absolute blockbusters…”
“The hub area being Ezio’s villa and vendor NPCs in it being the protagonists of other AC game sounds like the dumbest fanfiction in existence.”
