Assassin's Creed is finally heading to Japan. The Assassin's Creed Codename Red announcement was made during the Ubisoft Forward 2022 showcase, and it's promising to take us on a tour of a setting and period of history that fans have been asking for ever since the series made its debut 15 years ago.
Assassin's Creed Japan, as it's sure to be known until an official name is confirmed, will be the next "flagship" game in the series, releasing after the newly announced Assassin's Creed Mirage in 2023. There is no release window or platforms confirmed for Assassin's Creed Codename Red just yet, and that may be because Ubisoft had even more to share at this showcase. As if two exciting games weren't already enough, the publisher also revealed Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, teased new details on Assassin's Creed Infinity, and released new information on a slew of other upcoming Ubisoft games.
Ubisoft has made it clear that there's never been a better time to be an Assassin's Creed fan, so let's dive into everything we know about Assassin's Creed Red so far.
Assassin's Creed Japan will be the next major game in the Assassin's Creed franchise, following the success of 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Developer Marc-Alexis Cote, who has served as both creative director and producer on some of the best Assassin's Creed games, described Codename Red as Ubisoft's "next premium flagship title" before teasing that it will be "the future of our open-world RPG games on Assassin's Creed."
