Assassin’s Creed ‘Project Red’ Leaked, Is Part of Infinity, and May Be Set in Japan: Reports

gadgets.ndtv.com:

Assassin's Creed could next be headed to Japan, as revealed in a leak. Multiple reports suggest that Project Red — a new open-world Assassin's Creed game — is in development at Ubisoft. The news comes from games journalist Jason Schreier, who confirmed in a tweet that Project Red is a part of Assassin's Creed: Infinity, described as a live-service platform for future entries in the series. There is no word on a release window either, but rest assured, we can expect it to launch on all current-gen platforms — PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and Windows PC.

In a Kotaku report, listing all of Ubisoft's cancellations and delays, there is a brief mention of Assassin's Creed Infinity, their latest live-service venture and Project Red. Details are sparse, but according to people familiar with Red's development, it will be set in Asia — more precisely, Japan — a setting that has been long discussed internally. Gamesbeat reporter Jeff Grubb also added validity to this claim in his podcast, stating that Project Red will take a similar approach to the modern RPG format while being set in feudal Japan.

Infinity will be a platform for future AC games including Red

There have also been reports of a standalone Assassin's Creed title in Assassin's Creed Rift, which was initially planned for this year but got slipped into 2023–24. While replying to a Reddit post, Schreier confirmed that the game will be set in Baghdad, Iraq, after which fans can expect the live service project to go live.

“After that will be [Assassin's Creed] Infinity, and while that's going to include a bunch of different games/ experiences/ biomes/ whatever you want to call them, I've heard about the main two and neither of them are Aztec,” he said.
