A while back Ubisoft revealedabout a billion Assassin’s Creed projects. The first of these to leap into the carefully placed haystack of release wasMirage, which I liked. Up next, it seems, is the artist formally known as Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red. All we knew about red was that it would be set in feudal Japan, something fans have been clamouring for for literal years. Now we know that it’s an AC game set in feudal Japan calledAssassin’s Creed Shadows, and it’s getting an “official cinematic world premiere trailer” debuton YouTube tomorrow, at 5pm BST.
Also, because this sort of thing seems to always happen with Ubi, the placeholder text for said YouTube premiere might have accidentally leaked the release date for the game as November 15, 2024.
Shadows is supposedly going to be another full-sized AC game in the vein ofValhallaandOdyssey’s massiveopen worlds, which means you will probably see me screaming about it needing to be smaller and less full of busywork. Mirage was smaller but it was still big! And it was really fun!
Also worth keeping an eye on is any news aboutAssassin’s Creed Infinity, a sort ofAssassin’s Creed-specific hub… launcher… thing. Inan interview with Eurogamerin 2022, chief Assassin’s Creed man Marc-Alexis Coté said the plan is for Infinity to arrive alongside Shadows. Is that still the plan? Who knows!
Remember to check back onthat YouTube videoafter work tomorrow to see a dramatic trailer with all action music and silhouettes and that.
