Assassin's Creed Ragnarok Reportedly Leaked; Co-op Returns, Set in the Viking Age; RPG elements and more

E3 2019 is just a month away and the leaks and rumours have started showing its presence. The latest game that falls its victim is actually from a franchise which is supposedly the leakiest franchise in the history of video games.

Of course, I'm talking about the next Assassin's Creed game which according to an easter egg found in Ubisoft's The Division 2 about a month ago revealed that the next AC game will be set in the Viking age and feature a Norse setting.

Apparently more details have surfaced regarding the same the game's name and some of its prominent features. According to this leak on 4chan, the next Assassin's Creed game is called Assassin's Creed Ragnorak and the main protagonist this time around will be an ally of Ragnorak Lodbrok. Lodbrok is a pretty famous personality who fans will recognize from the Vikings TV series.
