New Assassin's Creed at Ubisoft Sofia? Theories on the Hundred Years War and Crusades

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is still in the middle of its life cycle, but as happens every year, the rumors about the new chapters of the series are really difficult to contain. In these days he has put some of his J0nathan, youtuber and leaker very close to the world of assassins who has already proved to be a rather reliable source in the past.

In his latest video j0nathan has scattered a lot of clues, apparently unrelated to each other, which should draw the contours of the next episode of Assassin's Creed. The youtuber talked about a Templar cross, a map of the island of Corfu, the GPS coordinates pointing to Dubrovnik in Croatia, in the state of Schleswig Holstein in Germany and Sofia in Bulgaria, the codes for the colors blue, white and red ( flag of France), a ring, a Spotify QR code that links to the page of an artist named Edmund, an Arabic word translatable into Rachida or Rashid, a binary code for 2022, an image of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and an image of a mountain.

The fans immediately got to work putting the pieces together, thus elaborating a theory according to which the next Assassin's Creed would be expected in 2022 and in development at the Ubisoft Sofia studios (j0nathan put a like to a comment by a user who theorized it), and set during the Hundred Years War (a hypothesis that has already emerged in the past), a conflict that has seen the Kingdoms of England and France fight each other for over a century since 1337 to 1453. The protagonist could be Gabriel de Lorraine, while the story could also involve Joan of Arc, two characters already introduced in the mythology of Assassin's Creed. However, some of the clues offered by j0nathan also seem to point to the Crusades: during his life, Richard the Lionheart passed through both Corfu and Croatia, and references to the Templar cross and the temple of Jerusalem could represent a clue for a new Templar protagonist. and the return of Al Mualim and Altair from the first chapter of the series.

One theory predicts the launch of an Assassin's Creed set in the Hundred Years War in 2022 and another focusing on the Crusades thereafter. At the moment, however, there is absolutely nothing certain and official.
