Ubisoft Returns with a New Assassin's Creed Chapter, Delving into Yasuke's Tale: The First African Samurai

Ubisoft is set to enthrall its fans yet again, with a fresh installment in the Assassin's Creed series, titled "Codename Red". Noted insider, Tom Henderson, hints that players can anticipate not just another historical epic but a deepened stealth gameplay, echoing vibes of iconic titles like Splinter Cell and Hitman.

The project is under the creative wings of Ubisoft Quebec, the maestros behind Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. This installment is deemed to be the concluding chapter following the design dynamics introduced in Assassin's Creed: Origins.

The most captivating part? The narrative of the game. "Codename Red" explores the life and adventures of Yasuke, the pioneering African samurai who set foot in Japan in 1579. Speculations suggest two playable characters: an African refugee and a female samurai. Fans can look forward to immersing themselves in the realm of feudal Japan, replete with its unique culture and traditions. The launch is slated for 2024.
