I think the chances of it being a joke are fairly small, if we remember back when the Black Flag poster was leaked, Ubi came out so quickly afterwards and confirmed the next title, way earlier than I think they would have planned. Maybe this time they chose to do the same thing after the name was leaked months ago, except this time do it much more discreetly so that it wasnt immediately publicly known, giving them more time to definitively confirm or deny the rumour even after they've hinted at it. Would make sense since black flag wasnt ready i dont think when it was revealed.
