Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is set to feature a major graphical upgrade with enhancements to the existing engine, including ray-traced global illumination and virtual geometry. The game will take place in feudal Japan and will include overhauled animations, parkour system, dynamic weather, and a robust open-world similar to Valhalla. The series will embrace samurai combat and culture, with an expanded 'hideouts' mechanic for players to establish a base of operations. The upgrade aims to provide a more immersive experience, showcasing Japan's beautiful scenery and heritage, and an extended trailer is expected to be released in the coming months.
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Codename Red will be released by the end of March 2025, marking the beginning of "period three" in the series. The game, set in feudal Japan, will be a major release for fiscal year 2025, alongside Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft aims to push the boundaries of next-gen gaming with a more dynamic and realistic world, and plans to support Codename Red with expansions and updates for years to come.
Ubisoft writer Pierre Boudreau has posted an image on their LinkedIn profile that appears to be a new lead character for the upcoming Assassin's Creed game, Codename Red. The image features a female character with long hair and a samurai sword, breaking the tradition of male protagonists in the series. Fans speculate that this tease may indicate more information about the game will be revealed at The Game Awards. The release date for Codename Red is still unknown, but it is rumored to be in 2024.
