Ubisoft Employee Says Japanese Assassin’s Creed Game Arrives in 2024
A Ubisoft employee has claimed the Japan-based Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red is launching in 2024.
As reported by Eurogamer, Access The Animus shared a screenshot of a Linked post on Twitter from a Ubisoft marketing employee seeking sponsoring partners for Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, in which the game was described as “the biggest blockbuster for 2024”. The post also alluded to the creation of a tie-in manga series and podcasts that will be involved in an upcoming marketing push.
The Linkedin post, which was initially made over four months ago but only spotted recently, has since been edited to remove the reference to 2024.
It looks like a few months ago the Business Development and Brand Partnership teams at Ubisoft were looking for sponsorship partners for #AssassinsCreed Codename Red in 2024, which could act as a partial confirmation of the game actually being planned for 2024 at the moment! pic.twitter.com/m7mq2z3Gp5

Codename Red was revealed to the world during the September 2022 Ubisoft Forward presentation, which also saw the unveiling of the eerie, seemingly witchcraft-centred Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe alongside the upcoming franchise hub Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red will be set in feudal Japan and is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec under the leadership of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Immortals: Fenyx Rising director Jonathan Dumont. It’s also promised to be the “next premium flagship title” in the series and “the future of [Ubisoft’s] open-world RPG games”.
Ubisoft recently revealed the History of Baghdad feature for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which will allow players to learn about the real-world history of the famous city as they explore the fictional storyline set within its walls, when the game releases on October 12 later this year.
