Assassin’s Creed Codename Red: Stab Your Way through Feudal Japan!

Ubisoft, the mastermind behind the historical stabathon series Assassin’s Creed, is brewing something sensational for 2024. Brace yourselves, fellow assassins, because Codename Red is coming for us with all its blockbuster might!

According to the folks at Access The Animus, who have an uncanny ability to sniff out Assassin’s Creed news, a LinkedIn post by a sneaky Ubisoft marketing employee spilled the beans. In the post, Codename Red was hailed as “the biggest blockbuster,” leaving us salivating for more details. I bet someone at Ubisoft realized they were teasing us too much and edited the post to remove the tantalizing “for 2024.” Ah, the joys of speculation!

But let me tell you, Codename Red is not just your run-of-the-mill Assassin’s Creed game. Oh no, my friends, it’s shaping up to be the most intriguing entry in the series. Here’s why this game has got me giddy with excitement:

A Return to Blockbuster Status

After years of expansions, spin-offs, and the delightful Assassin’s Creed Mirage, we’ve been craving a full-blown, blockbuster-sized Assassin’s Creed experience. The wait is finally coming to an end. Codename Red will be the glorious successor to the majestic Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which graced our screens back in 2020. Get ready to dive into an immersive world like no other!

Ubisoft Quebec Takes the Helm

You know a game is in good hands when it’s entrusted to the talented folks at Ubisoft Quebec. These masterminds brought us the exhilarating Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and the enjoyable jaunt through London in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. With their previous hits under their belt, Ubisoft Quebec is poised to deliver an unforgettable adventure in feudal Japan.

Evolution of the Franchise

Hold on to your hidden blades because Codename Red is set to kick off a new era for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The modern-day narrative that has been tightly woven within individual games will now flow through an over-arching hub platform called Assassin’s Creed Infinity. Ubisoft aims to connect all future Assassin’s Creed games, big or small, into a cohesive experience. It’s a bold move that promises to take the franchise to new heights of storytelling and immersion.

Feudal Japan Beckons

Oh, did I mention you get to traverse the stunning landscapes of feudal Japan as a badass assassin? Prepare to sneak through ancient towns, scale towering pagodas, and engage in heart-pounding battles while immersing yourself in Japanese history like never before. And let’s not forget the thrill of witnessing the iconic Assassin’s Creed parkour amidst cherry blossoms. It’s an experience fit for a true gaming samurai.

I know what you’re thinking: “But when can I get my hands on this masterpiece?” Well, my eager friends, Codename Red still lacks a formal release date. However, rumors suggest we can expect it to grace our screens in 2024. And hold on tight, because there’s even more to look forward to. Reports indicate that the series’ multiplayer will make a grand return in 2025, followed by the mysterious Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe in 2026. It’s an onslaught of assassin awesomeness!

So ready your hidden blades, sharpen your wits, and prepare for the most thrilling escapade the Assassin’s Creed franchise has ever embarked on. Codename Red is just over the horizon, waiting to immerse you in an unforgettable journey through feudal Japan. Embrace the shadows, my friends, and let the adventure begin!
