First unveiled back in September 2022 as 'Assassin's Creed Red', Ubisoft has officially titled its next big Assassin's Creed game - and it's set a date for the reveal trailer too. You can catch the 'Official Cinematic World Premiere Trailer' of Assassin's Creed Shadows at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT on Wednesday, May 15.
Yep, this is the one set in Japan - a setting that's been desired for ages within the Assassin's Creed community. Ahead of this week's grand reveal, the team has posted a very teaser-y teaser on social media:
Assassin's Creed Shadows has been described as "the next evolution of Assassin’s Creed’s open-world RPG design", allowing players to "live a very powerful Shinobi fantasy". This sounds like a big one, and we're intrigued to see how it's shaping up!
Ubisoft's major E3-style 'Forward' showcase airs just about a month after this on June 10, where we'd expect to see a proper gameplay demo for the newly-titled Assassin's Creed Shadows. For now, pen this cinematic trailer airing into your diaries for May 15th - and we'll see what next month brings.
