Assassin’s Creed Redis one of many upcoming releases for the franchise, finally taking the IP to the long-awaited setting of Japan. The title’s setting has already created a huge amount of interest in the project, especially with many leaks and rumors surfacing online.
A recent leak forAssassin’s Creed Redalleges that the title has a release window of 2024, with this being welcome news to many fans. However, when considering the other current projects that are ongoing within theAssassin’s Creedfranchise, this supposed release window seems like an unlikely one.

The Other Assassin’s Creed Projects
It is a very exciting time to be a fan of theAssassin’s Creedfranchise, with the IP being set to receive a huge range of installments in the near future. For example,Assassin’s Creed Mirageis set to launch on October 12, reportedly taking the franchise back to its smaller-scale roots.
As well as this,the mysterious upcomingAssassin’s Creed Hexeis drawing a lot of attention, in addition to the large-scale mobile gameAssassin’s Creed Jade. With additional VR titles, Netflix gaming collaborations, and reported standalone multiplayer projects further bolstering the franchise’s upcoming releases, it is clear that Ubisoft is very busy behind the scenes with one of its most iconic IPs.
This also comes at a time whenUbisoft is releasing details ofAssassin’s Creed Infinity, which is set up to be the go-to live-service hub forACexperiences going forward. It is currently perhaps the busiest period thatAssassin’s Creedhas ever experienced, with Ubisoft creating titles catered towards the newer open-world RPG identity of the IP as well as those that go back to the franchise’s roots. With so much happening at once, it seems hard to believe that some of these most detailed projects, likeRed, will be released so soon.
Assassin’s Creed Red’s Leaked Release Window
Assassin’s Creed Redis set to possess the same open-world RPG elements of recentACtitles such asOrigins,Odyssey, andValhalla. Being set in feudal Japan, rumors suggest thatRedwill allow the player to choose between a Samurai or Shinobi protagonist, offering a range of narrative threads to experience.
WithRedalso being rumored to be the last title featuring the open-world identity, it can be assumed its scale is quite impressive as the send-off game for the formula. A Japanese setting such asRed’s has been one of the most intensely demanded from the community, further increasing the attention to detail that Ubisoft should be placing on the release.
A lot of Ubisoft’s effort will be currently going into the inboundAC Mirage, with the title seemingly taking a morecharacter-driven approach with protagonist Basim Ibn-Ishaq. With this in mind, it seems very unlikely thatAC Redwill release in its supposed window of 2024. As so many projects are also beng worked on currently, combining with the imminent release ofMirage, it would be sensible to assume thatAC Redwould need more time to develop and would miss a potential 2024 release window.
If Ubisoft is hoping to shrewdly space apart its upcoming projects to give them time to shine, then this leaked release window may tread on the toes ofAC Miragequite significantly. As things stand, the amount of otherACtitles and the scale ofAssassin’s Creed Redmeans that a release window of 2024 is hard to see as a valid one.
