Assassin's Creed fans were eagerly waiting for the Ubisoft Forward 2022 showcase to arrive so they could learn about everything new being cooked up behind the curtains. There were a lot of rumors regarding what the developers were working on, and the event was the perfect stage to make official announcements.

All eyes were glued to the screen as Ubisoft showed various titles during the first part of the event before presenting a lengthy segment involving Assassin's Creed. The franchise's completion of 15 years is reason enough for celebration.

Mirage was heralded with a cinematic trailer, an official release date, and pre-order goodies. But that was not all. Fans also got a look at what other AC projects Ubisoft has in store for them, and boy, were there a lot of them!

Rumors regarding role-playing and supernatural titles under the AC banner are turning out to be true, as the Ubisoft event showed both AC Project Red and Hexe during the stream. The former offered a dark-red hue on the screen with structures from feudal Japan, ready to give players a "very powerful shinobi fantasy," as put by Marc-Alexis Côté, franchise executive producer.

According to Côté, Project Red is the next premium title in line and is "the future of our open-world RPG games on Assassin's Creed." The offering is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the studio that helmed AC: Odyssey. Japan has long been requested by fans, and they will finally have their dreams come true.

Project Hexe, on the other hand, has a supernatural vibe to it and is distinctly different in mood and setting than Red. Although the clip offered was short, the tone of visuals was darker and more ominous as the AC logo hung from a tree, possibly during the witch trials in 16th-century
