Take this as a rumor, nothing is confirmed. We only have one source on this one.

Shield looks like it's of Greek origin (notice the open parts of the shield, location of the screenshot by looking at the text on the bottom is Giza, Egypt.

Could be the entrance to one of the pyramids. The icon on top kinda looks like a pharaoh sarcophage.

Good setting and good start to character design there im into it

 

[Luigiv]

Yep. Looks the same as it did last leak.

 

[LiK]

Finally.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Don't go through those cobwebs, dude. Weren't even any showers back then.

 

[Geno Breaker]

Did someone show this to an Anon on the plane or what?

 

[DAHGAMING]

Dark creed age of colon.

 

[serenewarfare]

Looks pretty much exactly the same as it did when it leaked two years ago.

 

[Alastor3]

I always think Ubisoft leak themself to generate discution just before revealing the game they are working on.

Also I love egypt so I might check it out.

 

[SJRB]

God I hope this reboot can bring the franchise back on track.

 

[BlueSparrow]

But how are people gonna know that guy is an Assassin without the hood.

 

[Galava]

Can be Egypt setting, but also looks like it could be Greek. Maybe putting "egypt setting" in the title was a mistake.

 

[Xater]

This is such a potato camera shot it might as well be from Shadow of Rome.

"Let's put the Assassins symbol on his shield so it's always visible"

This is such a potato camera shot it might as well be from Shadow of Rome.

Oh my god I FREAKING LOVED THAT GAME !

 

[VAD]

Please rip off For Honor's combat mechanics.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Although we don't know for sure what color Ancient Egyptians were, that's lighter skin than I would have liked. Obviously it's hard to judge much from this screenshot, though.

Interesting that they're going more for a "warrior" appearance, too.

 

[artsi]

Same kind of design, skin is lighter now though.

 

[GillianSeed79]

That the PSP version? Almost cut my eyes while looking at that pic.

 

[nbnt]

A quality to surpass potato camera's.

 

[ironcreed]

Egypt sounds great. Just reveal it already.

 

[kennyamr]

Now, if they could make a Souls/Nioh-like battle/weapon system and combine it with Assassin's Creed scenarios.

 

[Rootbeer]

Hope it's legit. Would be the first AC game I buy this gen. Open world gameplay in Egypt is too tempting.

 

[Xater]

Oh my god I FREAKING LOVED THAT GAME !

It was pretty good. An overlooked gem. They should have cut the stealth stuff and maybe it would have gotten more recognition.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Same kind of design, skin is lighter now though.

This wasn't AC. It was a new IP that got cancelled a decade ago with the tech being brought over into AC. They turned it into an easter egg.

 

[kromeo]

Please not sandals

 

[Pif]

What are the rumoured changes for this entry?

If any...

 

[FelipeMGM]

Same kind of design, skin is lighter now though.

yeah, this popped in my mind when seeing this new picture

but this was from Osiris, which was cancelled ages ago, maybe this new shot is not from AC but from this cancelled game

 

[SJRB]

Please not sandals

Well as long as he's not wearing white socks underneath it's kinda okay I guess.

 

[tiebreaker]

Looks like Prince of Persia

 

[ViciousDS]

But how are people gonna know that guy is an Assassin without the hood.

its not just a hood



its an iconic hood




please dear god let this be good!

 

[TGO]

But how are people gonna know that guy is an Assassin without the hood.

Good question and why so different to Assassins Creed 1, clothing should be kinda similar or are stereotyping Egyptians now.

 

[kromeo]

Well as long as he's not wearing white socks underneath it's kinda okay I guess.

They'll save those for DLC

 

[lordy88]

Looks like it says "GIZA" in the text at the bottom.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Assassins Creed: weeee Oooh weeeh ooooh, wee eee weeeee ooooh OOOOOOH walk like an Egyptian

 

[TimFL]

I hope they add the co-op stuff again. I had a blast playing with friends in AC Unity. The WD2 co-op mode was really cool too.

 

[PeskyToaster]

which mode of transportation was this revealed on?

But how are people gonna know that guy is an Assassin without the hood.

Wouldn't the point be that people didn't know you were an assassin?

 

[brawly]

Shield looks spartan to me.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Can be Egypt setting, but also looks like it could be Greek. Maybe putting "egypt setting" in the title was a mistake.

Could be 'the ancient world' in general perhaps? So Greece, the near East, Egypt, so on. Given the naming conventions of the precursors that would kinda make sense for a connection, while nevertheless retaining the ability to be set primarily in Egypt. That or it's set in Ptolemaic Egypt, rather than just 'Ancient Egypt' in one of the dozens of numbered dynasties.

Also is it me, or does that shield have a prototype of the Assassin's Brotherhood symbol?

 

[Okami Haundo]

Oh damn... This is supposed to come this year right? Isn't there also a rumor that it's coming to Switch? I would cry tears of joy to have a console version of AC on the go.

 

[Cyborg]

Looks like crap, I think Ubisoft did that on purpose so they can finally upgrade a game on release.

It could have greek origin set on egypt due to the shield looking like a greek shield.

 

[hydruxo]

Should be getting a reveal within the next two months or so I'd assume. They used to always reveal AC games in the Spring before. But maybe they'll just wait until E3 because of the hiatus.

 

[Devilinthiscity]

Character clearly has a hood despite not having a shirt. What? Lol.

 

[Kuldar]

At least people will not complain about downgrade.

 

[rackham]

Oh boy. Another Assassni's Creed with a pale dude. Can't wait....Even better that he's a pale dude in Egypt. Perfect.
/s

 

[SuperEpicMan]

It kinda looks like he might have a long bow on his back.

 

[Galava]

My "analysis":

Shield looks like it's of Greek origin, location of the screenshot by looking at the text on the bottom is Giza, Egypt.

Could be the entrance to one of the pyramids. The icon on top kinda looks like a pharaoh sarcophage.

 

[RecRoulette]

Will you assassinate the Stardust Templars for 「Lord DIO!?」

 

[Crossing Eden]

At least people will not complain about downgrade.

Remember ACU looked like this when it was leaked:

 

[Blam]

I'm definitely liking the look of this. Was this ever hinted at in the other assassin creed games?
