the game is in development

Since last night, the Assassin’s Creed community has been in turmoil. Indeed, the insider Tom Henderson – renowned for the reliability of its information – has confirmed that Ubisoft is currently working on an episode with historical context in feudal Japan. Last July, journalist Jeff Grubb was already mentioning the land of the Rising Sun as a potential destination, but it was just a simple rumour. There, it would seem that it is engraved in stone since the French publisher would have planned to lift the veil on Assassin’s Creed Red (it would be the code name of the game) during the Ubisoft Forward which, we recall, will take place this Saturday, September 10 and will start at 9 p.m. The title would be developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Obviously well informed about the future of the series, Tom Henderson adds in his paper that the event will allow Yves Guillemot’s teams to formalize Assassin’s Creed Hexe (or Assassin’s Creed Neo), another episode which would be developed by Ubisoft Montreal. According to the first details distilled by the insider, the game universe should radically change from what we have known so far since the adventure would take place at the end of the Holy Roman Empire, with the backdrop of sets up a witch hunt. A priori, Assassin’s Creed Red and Assassin’s Creed Hexe would be the first two games of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the famous hub around which different eras should revolve.

Still according to Tom Henderson, Ubisoft would also have in its boxes Assassin’s Creed Jade, a game intended for mobiles and whose adventure would take place in China. A last expansion thought for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla should be presented, without forgetting Project Nexus, the episode designed for virtual reality. Regarding the latter, Tom Henderson is not able to say whether or not it will be shown during the Ubisoft Forward. Note that for his part, Jason Schreier confirms these hallway noises via Bloombergspecifying that Assassin’s Creed Red and Assassin’s Creed Hexe should not land before 2024.

Finally, as for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a spring 2023 release would be the option considered within Ubisoft.
