During Ubisoft Forward, a conference dedicated among other things to the fifteenth anniversary of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, the studio presented its Assassin’s Creed Codename Red project, a future game to be held in the Middle Ages in Japan.
140 million copies sold is the staggering number associated with the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Ubisoft’s games are currently celebrating their fifteenth anniversary, and the studio intends to use this opportunity to give a boost to a series in slight decline. However, during the Ubisoft Forward conference on September 10, the French studio unveiled several of its projects, including Assassin’s Creed: Mirage (which you can discover in detail in our article just below, and Assassin’s Creed Codename: Red. It is on the last part that we will focus in this article, the one that many players have been waiting for for a while.
Assassins and ninjas are the same thing. Fans of parkour, infiltration and more or less brutal murders, it’s hard not to draw a connection between these two extremely popular worlds of pop culture. This is what Assassin’s Creed fans have been doing for a long time, ardently asking for the arrival of a title from the famous franchise located in Japan. Well it’s now done since Ubisoft has unveiled Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, one of the next titles in the series. One thing is sure is that this short trailer showing an image of a protagonist on the roof of a traditional Japanese house, can already attract you impatient fans.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin’s Creed Red will be the next so-called “premium” game of the license. That is to say, it will be a large-scale, sensible experiment “embody the future of the open-world RPG in the series” according to Ubisoft. So we can see where Ubisoft intends to take its games, making the decision to divide its future games into two categories, scripted stories inspired by early Assassin’s Creeds like the next Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and open-world RPGs that continue on the lineage of Assassin’s Creed Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. Enough to appeal to fans of the first hour, fans of the last hour, and everyone in between. As for a release date, it will take wait a little longer, as the game is still under development, but we can count on the end of 2024, or even 2025.
