Assassin's Creed Red Teased in Ubisoft Forward Event

Ubisoft is expected to maintain its annual release tradition by launching Assassin's Creed Red, potentially at the end of 2024. Insider sources suggest that the action-adventure game set in feudal Japan may be featured in Ubisoft Forward in June. This event is part of the Summer Games Fest in Los Angeles, where gameplay content and hands-on experiences might be showcased. The title, Assassin’s Creed Red, is still considered a working title and could change before release.

The game is rumored to present an expansive open world, a significant increase in gameplay hours compared to the recently released Assassin’s Creed Mirage. According to Insider Gaming, a trailer and a release timeframe are likely to be revealed before the Ubisoft Forward event. Assassin’s Creed Red is expected to feature two protagonists, the Samurai Yasuke and a ninja named Naoe. In parallel with the game's release, Ubisoft is planning to introduce Assassin’s Creed Infinity—a hub for live-service offerings and regular content updates separate from the main series entries.

Will Assassin's Creed Red be set in feudal Japan?

Assassin's Creed is a historic action-adventure series that allows players to relive pivotal moments in history as members of the Assassin Brotherhood, an organization fighting against oppression throughout time. With each entry, the franchise explores a different period and location, from the Holy Land during the Crusades, Renaissance Italy, Colonial America, the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean, and more. The reported setting of feudal Japan has been a long-requested backdrop by fans, and would offer rich cultural and historical narratives for players to dive into.
