Ubisoft’s Japanese Assassin’s Creed Game Leaks: Enter Assassin’s Creed Red!

Assassin's Creed Red Protagonist Leaked in yet Another Ubisoft Shenanigan - GameTopic

Assassin’s Creed Red protagonist revealed in odd Ubisoft leak.

Ahoy, fellow gamers! Grab your katanas and get ready for some leaky fun! Ubisoft’s upcoming Japanese installment of Assassin’s Creed, known as Assassin’s Creed Red (codename: “Ninja Awesomeness”), has had its protagonist potentially exposed by none other than a sneaky developer.

According to the folks at Eurogamer, senior writer Pierre Boudreau, who’s working on the game, had a little LinkedIn slip-up. He briefly changed his cover photo to (drumroll, please) what seems to be the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Red! Exciting, right? But alas, he later swapped it back to good ol’ Eivor from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Sneaky, sneak!

Now, hold on to your shurikens, because we have a juicy piece of evidence. While the leaked image only gives us a tantalizing taste, it showcases our potential female protagonist fiercely wielding a katana against a fiery red background. We also catch a glimpse of the iconic Japanese Assassin’s Creed logo and a pagoda, but sadly, the rest of the image got cut off, leaving us begging for more like a hungry ninja.

Rumor has it that Assassin’s Creed Red will transport us to feudal Japan, where samurais, ninjas, and epic battles reign supreme. Revealed in September 2022 as Ubisoft’s “next premium flagship title and the future of our open-world RPG games” (fancy wording, lads!), it promises to merge the exciting gameplay styles of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Odyssey, rather than following in the footsteps of Mirage, which will hit the shelves in 2023. A sneaky peek of the concept trailer shows an agile assassin gracefully leaping onto a roof during a mesmerizing sunset. Simply breathtaking!

Now, don’t get your kunai in a twist, as we don’t have any other official details at this point. However, another cheeky Ubisoft employee, in a LinkedIn post from July 2023, dared to claim that Assassin’s Creed Red would strike in 2024. A bold move indeed! We shall see if this prediction proves true.

Let’s not forget, fellow gamers, that Ubisoft has a history of leaks that could rival a rusty colander. We’ve had Odyssey leaked, Origins leaked, Mirage leaked—you name it! The legendary Assassin’s Creed Unity had an epic leak when an Ubisoft employee spilled all the juicy details to a fan they sat next to on a plane. Sounds like a movie, right? Although no one believed it at first, screenshots of Unity surfaced months later, proving our sneaky plane passenger was indeed telling the truth. Talk about an adrenaline-pumping leak!

So, our dear Assassin’s Creed Red is now part of this prestigious leaky lineage. If the 2024 release date holds true, Ubisoft might grace us with this ninja extravaganza just in time for the holiday season, similar to Mirage’s October 2023 release. And remember, Mirage had the audacity to be (fully leaked and) officially revealed in September, so brace yourselves, for we could be waiting a while before we receive any concrete details on our next shadow-clad adventure.

Now, raise your gamer glasses and let’s toast to the potential awesomeness that awaits us in Assassin’s Creed Red! Gather ’round, fellow gamers, and let’s discuss this thrilling news.
