Ubisoft's newest financial report confirmed an official release window for the next Assassin's Creed game, known as Codename Red. The next Assassin's Creed title will be set in feudal Japan and has created significant amounts of hype following previous leaks.

Ubisoft's financial report also confirmed once again that Star Wars Outlaws will be released by the end of 2024.
