Honestly, a few of these rumored options sound superb and would, theoretically, assist mix new and outdated parts of Assassin’s Creed recreation design. Of course, many online game rumors are price about as a lot as a useless battery. In this case, although, it’s very a lot price noting that a few of these rumors are at the least partially supported by revered Bloomberg investigative journalist, Jason Schreier. Not solely has Schreier beforehand reported on among the Assassin’s Creed 2023 particulars included in that latest leak, however he even weighed in on that abstract of j0nathan’s report to shed some gentle on which particulars might (or might not) be true:
An individual acquainted tells me elements of this new Assassin’s Creed leak are true (such because the title and the opposite stuff Bloomberg has already reported: spring 23, Baghdad, again to AC fundamentals) and different elements aren’t (“multiple cities to explore”) https://t.co/qmM6UZtKnG

So, whereas it seems like that report will not be totally correct (at the least primarily based on what Schreier was in a position to study presently), the core parts of that leak nonetheless paint an interesting image. Despite the franchise’s latest business successes, it actually does sound like the subsequent main Assassin’s Creed recreation will dial issues again a bit and maybe strive to lower down on among the franchise’s latest gameplay glut. As talked about above, that potential Baghdad setting can also be a little bit of a shock. While some followers have speculated that the subsequent AC recreation might return to the Middle East, that actually hasn’t been one of many extra fashionable setting theories/requests.
Still, there may be clearly a ton of historic floor the subsequent AC recreation might discover throughout that point that we haven’t seen the franchise correctly discover earlier than. More importantly, it additionally is smart that the subsequent recreation would revisit the unique Assassin’s Creed recreation’s Middle East setting (albeit in a special nation and time interval, that are two essential elements) provided that it may also really feel nearer to the sooner Assassin’s Creed video games from a gameplay perspective. So whereas it seems like lots of followers are nonetheless holding out hope for that feudal Japan Assassin’s Creed recreation, it’s onerous not to be enthusiastic about this considerably sudden flip.
As at all times, we’ll let you already know as soon as these rumors are formally confirmed or denied. For now, although, it actually does look like we’re beginning to get an thought of what to count on from the subsequent entry in a franchise that’s by no means afraid to actually shake issues up on occasion.
