Assassin's Creed Codename Red is confirmed as the next major installment in the series, set in Japan. This fulfills a long-standing fan demand for a Japanese setting.
Leaked information suggests players can choose between a Samurai or a Shinobi as playable characters, bringing diversity to the gameplay. The Shinobi character is said to be an African refugee who adopted the ways of the Creed.
An image leaked by an Assassin's Creed writer on LinkedIn adds credibility to the leaks, featuring a female samurai with a katana and a stylized logo for the new installment.
The game is expected to launch in 2024, offering a blend of stealth gameplay, open-world exploration, and RPG elements similar to recent titles in the series.
