Assassin's Creed: Origins - Open World RPG?

OnlySP reports that there is a rumor that Assassin's Creed: Origins could be an RPG like Skyrim:

Assassin’s Creed, the iconic parkour-inspired stealth-combat series sporting in-depth historical fiction, is rumored to return in 2017 after breaking its annual release cycle in 2016.

After the last two titles in the series—Unity and Syndicate—did relatively poorly in comparison to the franchise’s previous titles, Ubisoft decided to take a break from producing Assassin’s Creed games in favor of supporting the debut film of the same name. With E3 lurking ever-closer, rumors that the next installment are picking up speed. Originally, rumors suggested the working title for the new game was Assassin’s Creed: Empire. However, further leaks have suggested the final title is Assassin’s Creed Origins.

As the name implies, the story of Origins is rumored to involve the original assassin’s guild within the brotherhood. In addition, speculation points in the direction of two main characters, a man and a woman—similar to the protagonists in Syndicate.

If the possibility of an imminent return of an Assassin’s Creed game is not exciting enough, sources also claim the game’s structure will be similar to that of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, “featuring a character progression system less tied to the story.”
