So a few months ago a reliable source leaked that Ubisoft Sofia was developing a shorter spinoff game like Freedom Cry set during the third crusade, codenamed "Assassin's Creed: Knighthood" or alternatively "Project King Richard" and was scheduled for release next year. The game was said to have semi-linear hub levels in the style of Tomb Raider and Deus Ex instead of being fully open world. It was also reported that it would have featured Jerusalem, Constantinople, Venice and Cyprus. Plus Altaïr and his wife Maria Thorpe would have appeared as side characters in this game. But unfortunately the project was scrapped due to issues caused by the covid pandemic. It was then reported that it will instead be reworked into more dlc's for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.
So what do you think? Will we see a dlc set during the crusades next year, or has Ubisoft just abandoned the entire thing alltogether? Personally I would love to see some content set during the crusades, especially if we get to see Altaïr again. Would be even better if his younger son Sef (Desmond's next ancestor) appeared, as his face has never been shown in the games, unlike Darim.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

@crazybone992 It would certainly make sense for Ubisoft to come full circle by returning to Altaïr somehow. I for one would enjoy seeing a remastered version of the original AC that incorporated a lot of the improvements that had been made to the series. However, the idea of a more expansive game that involved the Third Crusade would be pretty cool.
@thenorfolkian I'm hoping that they will incorporate it into Valhalla somehow. The premise of the leaked crusades game sounded great and it would be a wasted opportunity not to use it.
@bielik01 So? That doesn't mean anything at all. A dlc doesn't need to be tied to a specific time period. They could very well pull off a surprise move and make a dlc set in a different era. Wouldn't be too hard either if the leaked game was originally meant to be an independent spinoff title.
@crazybone992 a DLC without Eivor in it... I don't see it. Maybe something like Freedom Cry, that's more like it.
