The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Red will take place in Feudal Japan, and a playtester at Ubisoft has been revealing details like a true Shinobi.
Ubisoft is gearing up for the launch of Assassin’s Creed Red, the next installment in the popular action series. While earlier reports suggested it would be a continuation of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, fresh details about the Feudal Japan setting have emerged from an alleged Ubisoft playtester.
The leaked details for Assassin’s Creed Red include story points, improved parkour mechanics, and a potential release date in October. The leak, coming from Cygus Lorman on Reddit, mentions that a playtester from Ubisoft disclosed this information along with various other insights.
Assassin’s Creed Red will revolve around two protagonists, Naoi/Naoe, the female shinobi, and Yasuke, the male samurai, whose paths will converge in the narrative. Players might start in the prologue as children before time jumps. Moreover, gamers can switch between the two characters at their hideout.
In terms of gameplay, players can anticipate the return of parkour traversal, which will be enhanced for smoother gameplay. Additionally, a grappling hook will allow players to reach higher structures, especially in the densely populated cities featured in the game. The leaks also indicate that Assassin’s Creed Red will not include a New Game Plus mode or clothing transmog system.
Finally, the leaks suggest a potential release window for the game. It appears that Assassin’s Creed Red is targeting a launch in October this year, aligning with previous titles in the series. For instance, Assassin’s Creed Mirage debuted on October 12, 2023, followed by Valhalla on November 10, 2020. This hints that the Feudal Japan setting may hit consoles sooner than anticipated.
These are the latest details on the leaks for Assassin’s Creed Red and what players can look forward to. As always, it’s advisable to approach this information with caution.
