Hace un mes Kotaku apuntaba a que el próximo Assassin's Creed estaría ambientado en la mitología vikinga, según la información de varias de sus fuentes y por varias referencias que ha dejado la propia Ubisoft en The Division 2.
Pues bien, en el día de hoy ha salido una filtración en 4chan en el que se da a conocer las características principales del juego, confirmándose que efectivamente estará ambientado en la historia vikinga.
