To my knowledge, the most recent (admittedly months-old) version is that not all subclasses may be present. But I think Assassin is going to make it in.

I do wonder about the features though. Surprised status seems to be random or finicky(?) and obviously they're not going to leave Infiltration Expertise and Impostor (on the off-chance we get to 13th level) as they are. Could make it or break it, which I care about since it's the archetype I usually play. :P

Would have no quarry with them changing the social features of Assassin, since they will not be used in a video game, and replace it with something more combat focused. But changing Assassinate would make no sense, since it can be implemented as written.
