Rumor: Next Assassin’s Creed skips 2016 and gets Egyptian setting

Kotaku has a bit of a streak going when it comes to revealing details on Assassin’s Creed games before Ubisoft even announces them.

The site previously leaked information for 2014’s Assassin’s Creed: Unity and Assassin’s Creed: Rogue and 2015’s Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. Now, Kotaku says the next entry in the stealth-action series is set in Egypt. More notably, it says that the game, code-named Empire, won’t come out this year. That would mark the first time since 2008 (before the release of Assassin’s Creed II) that Assassin’s Creed didn’t have a yearly release.
