Fake. This is why: "Creative Director is Ashraf, Darby McDevvit is the Narrative Director" And that's where I stopped reading. Darby McDevvit is no longer working on AC.
The last screenshot shows a female NPC with what seems like a full set of equipment and wielding a weapon. That strongly suggests that they've got a character choice again.
Yeah, it's almost too large to believe, even with the usual AC compression. We do know they're doing a Viking game though, so it's difficult to see how they'd do that concept justice without having some significant portion of Scandinavia and some significant portion of Britain. Even with normal AC super-compressed maps that is going to be huge.Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland? Damn, that's a huge map!
Approximate comparison:Map seems insanely large. UK alone is what, 5x the size of Greece?
God of War: EndgameRagnarok would have been fitting for God of War 2, now we'll have God of War: Thor's Ascension

Approximate comparison:
Leaving out Ireland since the leak doesn't mention it, but even with the mentioned countries the real-world geographic land area is well over ten times the size of Odyssey. Each individual country mentioned is bigger than Greece, except Denmark.
Maybe there's a Switch spin-off. ;-)Those screens make me arch my eyebrows. There is no way that a game coming out in like 1-1.5 years looks like that.
As a Swede, i approve of this! Just give me the opportunity to invade Norway, Denmark and Finland and make them subordinate to their superior neighbor lol!
As bad as you guys are on hockey? ZING!No thanks. We were better off under Russian than Swedish rule (Finland). That should tell you how bad you guys were!

-Main character is ally of Ragnar Lodbrok and aids in the formation of Great Heathen Army
Ragnar Lodbrok?
Ragnarok?
I'm not sure I can roll my eyes further back in my head.
- Co-op is returning, and can be used in most side quests and world exploration
Any particular reason why, or...?-Main character is ally of Ragnar Lodbrok and aids in the formation of Great Heathen Army

What are the chances that the game will not be bloated, and instead have interesting content. Odyssey left a bad taste.
Hope they take a bit more inspiration from witcher 3
Do you just not understand Norse history and mythology?-Main character is ally of Ragnar Lodbrok and aids in the formation of Great Heathen Army

Witcher 3 is just as bloated lolWhat are the chances that the game will not be bloated, and instead have interesting content. Odyssey left a bad taste.

OdysseyYes but "Origins" is a lot more generic so it can be used an infinite amount of times.
At this point I'm just assuming "leak" is "first step in marketing plan" when it comes to AC.What is it with Assassin's Creed and leaks?
In any case, consider me interested.
agreed with this. I'm having a hard time putting the game down. Building my assassin pirate is role playing I never thought I needed. sneaking into a fort to take down a country leader is just peak gaming in my opinion. mixing stealth with combat with ranged combat. This game is a complete package. I see myself playing this more than Red Dead 2.AC Odyssey has so much interesting content though. Don't forget that The Witcher 3 has so much bloat as well.

Hm, the first and last screenshot look to me like retextured assets from the Unity 5 Viking Demo...

Of course, if you want to stay true to the viking theme there isn't much you can do, but i do feel like these screenshots are fake. Might be wrong, who knows.
