That's not how journalism works. You don't dismiss journalistic article merely because Ubisoft hasn't revealed it themselves, various news sites have reported that Fassbender will be playing Desmond, even EscoBlades on XboxGameZone who is in good contact with Ubisoft themselves. Journalists don't just make stuff up, especially not such a big amount.
