Is there a Codename Red release date?

Ubisoft has yet to give an official release date for Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red. However, with Assassin’s Creed Mirage launching in 2023, it’s speculated that Codename Red will release in 2024.

Of course, this should be taken with a grain of salt and we’ll update this section as soon as the developers announce further details.

Codename Red was revealed at the Assassin’s Creed celebration event.

No platforms have been revealed for Codename Red, but with previous Assassin’s Creed titles releasing across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S — it’s likely Ubisoft will follow a similar pattern. For now, though, we’ll update this section as soon as further details are revealed.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red setting

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is set in Feudal Japan and is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the team behind the critically acclaimed Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Fans of the stealth-based series have wanted a title set in Japan since the original title was released back in 2007, so its next “premium” open-world RPG title will likely prove incredibly popular.
