Codename Red will take players to a feudal Japan, a highly requested setting by fans of the franchise. In development at the Assassin"s Creed Syndicate and Odyssey studio Ubisoft Quebec, the title is described as the "next evolution of Assassin"s Creed"s open-world RPG design."
Meanwhile, the series lead studio Ubisoft Montreal is handling its own Infinity project in the form of Codename Hexe, which will land after Red. Not much information was shared about this venture, but it should involve the witch trials of the Roman Empire.
Both of these mainline games are likely to arrive in 2024 or later, with the classic gameplay inspired Assassin"s Creed Mirage populating 2023.
