---

An image has cropped up online showing what appears to be a screenshot of the next Assassin’s Creed game, a franchise which has been on hiatus since 2015’s Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate.

The rather grainy image, posted on Reddit by a user called shoutouttoashraf, shows a man on a boat in what looks like a historical setting. Three Eurogamer sources have apparently confirmed the legitimacy of the image, and also confirmed that last week’s rumours regarding the title of the game, which is said to be Assassin’s Creed: Origins, are also accurate.

The setting for the next Assassin’s Creed game is rumoured to be ancient Egypt, and the mission indicator in the corner of the screen shot, which says “Follow Shadya to Khenut's villa”, would seem to corroborate those rumours. Khenut was an Egyptian queen who lived during the Fifth dynasty, which was around 2500 – 2300 BC.
 
None of this leaked information has been confirmed by Ubisoft, but with E3 only a month away, we may not have long to wait before we get an official word from the publisher.
