From the press kit (last update on 19th August 2016):
You will still be able to combine ingredients in crafting: Players will come across items and materials which can be combined to create new and useful items - weapons, armor, potions, clothing - even food! But this time around there are also skills and equipment in the game that can only be obtained through crafting.

So yeah, skill crafting will be added to the game.
