It was almost a guarantee, but Insider Gaming can confirm that Assassin’s Creed Red will have its official gameplay reveal at this year’s Ubisoft Forward.
Speaking with sources, it’s understood that content creators and the press will get hands-on during the week of Summer Games Fest, with the preview embargo lifting on June 12. It’s currently unclear if the game will be revealed prior to Ubisoft Forward in typical Ubisoft fashion, though, where the game gets a cinematic trailer, an official name, and a vague release window.
Ubisoft forward is set to take place on June 10, 2024.
Insider Gaming exclusively reported in March 2023 that this year’s game will feature two different Assassins: a female and a male. Red will feature real-life Samurai Yasuke and a female Assassin named Naoe.
Alongside Red, the franchise will see the release of Assassin’s Creed Infinity – which is the new central hub for all things Assassin’s Creed and is understood to be where the ‘modern day’ story takes place. As such, the series will be moving to one unified engine named the ‘Anvil Pipeline’, which will allow development between games to run more smoothly and allow the series to benefit visually from the lines of ray-traced global illumination and virtual geometry.
The move to the Anvil Pipeline has meant that the teams have had to completely overhaul everything in the series, too, including animations, its parkour system, dynamic weather, and more.
The next mainline entry, Assassin’s Creed Hexe, is currently scheduled to release in 2026 and will feature a solo female protagonist named Elsa for the first time since Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China in 2015.
Other projects include Obsidian (Black Flag Remake), Nebula (settings based in India, Aztec Empire, and Mediterranean), Raid (a free-to-play 4-player co-op that’s PvE), Echoes (another multiplayer title), and another Assassin’s Creed Remake which are all scheduled to release by the end of the decade.
