There hasn't been a new instalment in the long-running, popular
Assassin's Creed video game series since
Assassin's Creed Odyssey released back in October 2018. As such, fans are grasping for any and all rumours to do with the future of the franchise and, as of late, quite a few have surfaced.
The most prevalent of the rumours claims that the next instalment will be called
Assassin's Creed Ragnarok and involve vikings as well as Norse mythology. Fake listings for the game have sprung up on various sites, including Amazon, since these rumours started doing the rounds back in November —
more on that here.
However, a reputable industry insider by the name of Daniel Ahmad (A.K.A.
@ZHugeEX) recently provided his thoughts on the
Assassin's Creed Ragnarok rumours. According to Ahmad, the game isn't called
Assassin's Creed Ragnarok at all and the many rumours are mostly inaccurate.
"For what it’s worth. All of the new AC leaks so far have been incorrect. It’s not even called Ragnarok. Sure. Some of the details are right. Like improved combat or whatever. But in general they’re not that accurate," Ahmad declared in a ResetEra post —

"These recent leaks are based on the original AC Kingdom leak from Kotaku itself," Ahmad continued in another post.
"So some of it is true or not far off the truth. But mostly it’s a bunch of educated guesses." Ahmad tends to have a good idea of what's going on in the industry. So, if you were getting your hopes up for
Assassin's Creed Ragnarok, it seems that you're out of luck.
