Assassin’s Creed 2017 has been on the hot seat this past month. It seems that every week there are more rumors and leaks for the game surfacing the internet.
And this proves true again as new leaks/rumors have been circulating Reddit. With so many leaks it’s hard to keep track of it all, however, we have been keeping track of them. It seems that this new leak has some similarities with the previous ones, but we also managed to get some new ones as well.
Perhaps the biggest ones are that the reveal trailer for the game is set to release this Friday and the game, which is indeed titled AC: Origins, will launch on October 31, 2017. We did do our checking and it seems that the 31 of October would fit the bill for a game release at it lands on a Tuesday.
