Ubisoft is going all out on the Assassin's Creed franchise folks! Alongside Mirage, which has just received its first trailer, the developer has named two more mainline Assassin's Creed titles coming after 2023, and one is finally set in Feudal-era Japan.
That'll be 'Codename Red', which appears to be the first in line for launch after 2023's Assassin's Creed Mirage. Codename Red is set in the highly requested time period of Feudal Japan, and it'll let you "live a very powerful Shinobi fantasy". It's also described as "the next evolution of Assassin’s Creed’s open-world RPG design".
Following Mirage and Codename Red, Ubisoft already has plans for another Assassin's Creed game, currently dubbed 'Codename Hexe'. The team didn't reveal quite as much about Hexe, aside from it being further along the AC roadmap, but we've dropped its first teaser trailer down below. Give us your theories about it in the comments!
Both Codename Red & Codename Hexe will be under the 'Assassin's Creed Infinity' banner, which appears to be a separate 'hub' that'll link old and new Assassin's Creed titles together under one roof. Ubisoft talked about including a standalone Assassin's Creed multiplayer experience within Infinity, but nothing concrete was announced there.
Finally, you may have also spotted 'Codename Jade' on the above roadmap. Well, that title is a mobile effort set in Ancient China, but as it's currently unannounced for Xbox, we're not quite as interested in it. Still, Ubisoft appears to be including Jade within its 'Infinity' banner, and it looks like your typical open world Assassin's Creed game.
What do you make of all this AC news? Excited, overwhelmed, or both? Leave your thoughts down below!

The hype is real. To be honest, after this Mirage is the one I'm the least interested in.
Time to finally finish the DLCs for both Origins and Odyssey.
@BBB Isn't The Last Chapter free?
Madlads really just waited till someone else did it. Now I'm not even that interested anymore after got 😭
Hexe is German for witch....
Maybe a European setting during the witch trials? (Dark Ages)
So if I'm understanding this correctly... Assassin's Creed Infinity is just a ****ing launcher?
@OHDANNYBOY
That would be pretty cool. I'm very intrigued as to how it's gonna play. I kinda understood it as a completely different genre?
Can see it with some horror vibes I guess.
@XxEvilAshxX my guess, think Master Chief Collection. Multiple games are inside it, but also a consolidated multiplayer mode lobby.
Imagine if all the currencies you could grind inside Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla all were shared because they are all technically the same master game, and the cosmetics likely carry over from one game to the other.
Only reason I think this is because it would add value to those skins that otherwise would be locked to a single game, further incentivizing their ownership.
I'm very interested. Mirage really gave me vibes of the original AC and that's a good thing, I also like Basim and I look forward to seeing his story. Out of all of the announcements in AC I would say that Red is something that's got me thinking about what kind of game it will be, will it be more like Valhalla that is very action based combat with added stealth or will it be a pure stealth game with added action based combat if you wish like AC1, 2, Etc. Either way I'm along for the ride and unfortunately the very long wait for it all.
Wow so hypef about this one!!
Some ninja action! Cant wait to get in that ninja outfit chasing targets, escaping using smoke bombs "ninja vanish"
Trowing ninja stars etc. This is by far my most hyped gamed lol.
