Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is expected to return to the expansive open-world RPG format for the franchise, set against the backdrop of feudal Japan. While specifics about the game remain sparse, it’s anticipated to offer a significant departure from the more concise adventure presented in Assassin’s Creed Mirage in 2023.
Previous leaks and a Ubisoft employee’s LinkedIn post from last year hinted at a 2024 release. Additionally, the narrative is rumored to include a modern-day storyline set in a futuristic Abstergo setting.
