Assassin's Creed: Shadows[1] is an upcoming installment in the Assassin's Creed series, being a part of the Assassin's Creed: Infinity platform. The game is set in Japan and will be helmed by Ubisoft Quebec.[2]

Gameplay

According to the series' Vice President Executive Producer Marc-Alexis Côté, Shadows will take place in feudal Japan and allow players to experience a "very powerful African fantasy".[3] It will also return to the newer style Action-RPG style games.[4]

Development

The game's conceptual title, known as Assassin's Creed: Codename Red during development, was first leaked on 6 September 2022 and reported by Bloomberg, who also noted that this game, as well as Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe, would likely not release until 2024 at the earliest.[2] It was later confirmed at the Ubisoft Forward livestream during its Assassin's Creed showcase, alongside a short teaser.[4] On 21 October 2023, a little over a year after the working title leaked, script writer Pierre Boudreau changed his LinkedIn profile's banner image to a picture of a hooded woman on a red background with Animus coding on the edges and a white Assassin insignia stylized as if it were painted by inkbrush.[5]

On 13 May 2024, Ubisoft officially revealed the entry's title as Assassin's Creed: Shadows,[6] after a leak revealed it three weeks prior.[7]

Controversy

When Jonathan Dumont was announced to be working on the game, many Ubisoft employees refused to work with him and quit due to past allegations regarding abuse and sexual misconduct. Ubisoft responded by stating that it takes allegations seriously and that Dumont has been disciplined and cleared to continue working.[8]

Release

Marketing

At the Ubisoft Forward event held on 11 September 2022 a reveal trailer was shown.[4] The official world premiere trailer is scheduled for release on 15 May 2024.[6]
