Ubisoft’s beloved Assassin’s Creed series is finally embracing a long-requested Japan setting with its upcoming game, Assassin’s Creed Codename Red. This new installment will immerse players in Japan’s feudal era, where they’ll take on the role of a shinobi (ninja) trained in the deadly arts of assassination, embarking on a historical journey rich with Japanese culture. Assassin’s Creed Red is part of Ubisoft’s innovative Assassin’s Creed Infinity platform, which aims to unite future Assassin’s Creed games under a single, cohesive experience. This platform is also expected to introduce a new progression system to keep players engaged across titles.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Release Date and Anticipation
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is projected to launch in March 2025. While some earlier reports hinted at a 2024 release, this date has not been officially confirmed by Ubisoft, so fans eagerly await further announcements and sneak peeks of this highly anticipated game. As more details emerge, Ubisoft is expected to reveal additional information to keep players excited.
What Awaits Players?
Assassin’s Creed Red promises players a rich open-world RPG experience that delves into the aesthetics, culture, and landscapes of feudal Japan more deeply than the series has ever explored before. As a highly trained ninja, players will experience a gameplay style that emphasizes stealth, agility, and combat. This theme introduces new combat dynamics and in-game mechanics distinct from past Assassin’s Creed titles. As players explore Japan’s historical locations, they’ll engage in classic mechanics familiar to the series but enhanced with elements unique to Japanese culture.
In addition to being a historical journey, Assassin’s Creed Red will be linked to other titles like Assassin’s Creed Hexe as part of the overarching Infinity platform. Through this platform, Ubisoft plans to build a long-term, content-rich universe that brings new stories and immersive experiences to fans.
With Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, Ubisoft is set to redefine the franchise’s potential and open new avenues for players to engage with its historical themes.
