The next entry to the long-running series will take place in feudal Japan and was first announced in September 2022. While an exact release date hasn’t been announced, Ubisoft is aiming for its current fiscal year ending in March 2025.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec.
“One of the big things that we are pushing is to have a more dynamic world, a world that evolves around you and we want everything that you have on yourself to evolve as you walk through this environment – to show the wear and tear – and to improve the fidelity of the experiences that we are building, pushing our animation systems further to make the game feel more realistic than ever,” said series boss Marc-Alexis Cote in an earlier interview with VGC.
“Red will be supported for many years with expansions with growth, with…a bunch of things that I will not reveal,” he added.
Since the start of the franchise in 2007, Assassin’s Creed games have sold over 200 million copies worldwide, making it Ubisoft’s best-selling franchise and one of the highest-selling video game franchises of all time. A live-action film based on the series starring Michael Fassbender and Jeremy Irons was released in 2016.
