Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Ubisoft’s Next Feudal Japan Adventure

In an exciting revelation, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be the official moniker for its upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, which will immerse players in the captivating world of feudal Japan. Previously known by the codename “Red,” the game is set to unveil more details later this week.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is poised to be the next “premium flagship” installment in the renowned Assassin’s Creed franchise, developed by Ubisoft Quebec. It will embrace an open-world RPG format, akin to its predecessors such as Assassin’s Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, it will diverge from the recently released Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which adopted a more focused and narrative-driven approach.

Ubisoft remains tight-lipped regarding the game’s storyline, but has teased that players will embark on a thrilling “shinobi fantasy.” Since its initial reveal in 2022, Ubisoft has been primarily occupied with the launch of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which debuted on PC and consoles last October and is slated to grace Apple devices in June.

Now, with its sights set on Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft is gearing up for its Ubisoft Forward event next month. Before then, the gaming giant will unveil a cinematic world premiere trailer for the game on Wednesday, May 15, at 9 a.m. PT.

Details regarding platforms and a release window for Assassin’s Creed Shadows remain under wraps. Nevertheless, the game’s Ubisoft Store page is already live, allowing eager fans to add it to their wish lists. Ubisoft’s pipeline also includes the mobile title Assassin’s Creed Jade and the supernatural-themed Codename: Hexe, promising an expanding universe for the beloved franchise.
