Ubisoft reveals Assassin’s Creed Shadows, its long-awaited feudal Japan game

Codename: Red project comes out of hiding Ubisoft gave Assassin’s Creed fans their first real look at the next flagship game in the long-running franchise with the debut trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Wednesday.

Previously known as Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red, Shadows will send the franchise to feudal Japan for the first time this November, letting players live out their shinobi fantasies as the ninja Naoe. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will also let players take on a second role, that of legendary Black samurai Yasuke.

Others include Assassin’s Creed Jade, a mobile game set in China’s Qin dynasty, and the mysterious Assassin’s Creed Codename: Hexe, “a very different type of Assassin’s Creed game,” according to Ubisoft executive producer Marc-Alexis Cote.
