10 Huge 2016 Video Game Rumours You're Not Supposed To Know

3. Assassin's Creed Is FINALLY Heading To Japan

Although it may be too late for the ailing franchise thanks to the double-whammy of AC: Unity's disastrous retail state and Syndicate's shoddy demoing across the year, substantial evidence points to Ubisoft finally taking the series to Japan in 2016; the place everyone has been demanding since pretty much day one. The above image is taken from Black Flag's 2013 official art book, where eagle-eyed forum-poster Cornik22 noticed it wasn't a render from inside the game's fake Abstergo office (the governing company behind the animus machines used to experience the past), but a something more unique. If you look at the fractured compilation of landmarks behind the black board, you'll notice images of the Santa Maria del Fiore (Assassin's Creed II), a Caribbean island (Black Flag), the Houses of Parliament (Syndicate) and finally what looks like Sensoji Temple; Tokyo's most prominent and iconic place of worship.

Likelihood? 9.9/10 This is the only one of these I'm going to throw a decimal point in the likelihood rating for, as games like Unity, Rogue, even Assassin's Creed III weren't included in the image, so it's not as though Ubisoft are sticking entirely to their plan. However, they've obviously got something Japan-focussed on the backburner, and it's almost definitely going to be releasing next, as every other setting on here has been accounted for.
