As you know, Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, Jade and Hexe games were announced in Ubisoft Forward recently. Here are all the details we know!
Ubisoft both celebrated the 15th anniversary of the series and made many interesting announcements at the Ubisoft Forward event it held recently. It may sound strange at the event, but we came across 4 new AC games. Three of them were developed with different code names. Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, Jade and Hexe appeared as. Let’s put what we know about these games on the table together.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, RPG set in Japan
First of all, we don’t expect to see games developed with these code names anytime soon. Because, as the company itself states, these are forward-looking projects. In the shared roadmap, they shared that Mirage will come out first of all. However, we can try to obtain a meaningful whole by kneading the incoming information like dough. First, let’s take a look at the new game called Assassin’s Creed Codename Red.
We know that it is a production that will take place in Japan and will follow in the footsteps of the next generation AC games. In the short teaser video released, we saw a character similar to Shinobi holding his culture-specific weapon in one hand and pulling out his secret knife in the other hand. The game is made by Odyssey developer Ubisoft Quebec and its creative director is the same as Odyssey. The production, which will take place in Federal Japan, will probably begin to appear in blood in 2024. However, its full launch will take 2025. Frankly, the idea of an AC game set in Japan seems pretty intriguing.
It is also among the information that this game will be similar to Valhalla. It is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC. Consoles from the previous generation now seem to have emerged from Ubisoft’s interests.
A mobile AC game set in ancient China: Codename JADE
As one of the productions shown in Ubisoft Forward, the new mobile game Assassin’s Creed Codename JADE also appeared. The production, which will be an AAA RPG Action-Adventure game coming to mobile devices, as the company calls it, will take place in Ancient China. We can clearly see that the series has turned its route to Asia with Red and JADE. At the same time, an Assassin’s Creed game to be published on mobile platforms sounds interesting. Again, we do not expect much details about the game to be shared in the near future. Because looking at the roadmap, we can say that these games are the games of tomorrow. At the same time, JADE will be released as a free-to-play game.
We can expect a game that will be supported by Genshin-Impact-style detailed character developments and events, and customization will be at the forefront. Although they don’t share anything, we have a strong feeling that the game was co-developed with Tencent.
Fantastic AC game Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe
Details about the new AC game, codenamed Hexe, developed by Far Cry 2 and Watch Dogs: Legion developer studio Ubisoft Montréal, are very limited. However, it is clear that fantastic and especially horror elements in the series will begin to appear with this game. We can say that the Assassin’s Creed series, which has been telling historical stories for more than 15 years, enters a completely different genre with this game. Of course, with the information received, it was shared that this game would appear after the game developed with the code name Red. Therefore, it is possible that it will come out in 2026 at the nearest.
The developer used the following statements while making a statement about the game:
“If we have learned anything from Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla, it is that we do not have to release RPG games every year. These games are very long-term, if you continue to support them after the launch, they can keep the interest of the players for a long time. Hexe is more difficult due to the structure and conditions of the game. It will promise a different experience. When we start to show more, what we mean will become clear.”
