Exclusive First Look at the Mysterious Assassin's Creed Red Hero Goes Viral!
Get an exclusive glimpse of the protagonist from Assassin's Creed Red with a captivating new image that showcases the character in all their glory, leaving fans of the franchise exhilarated
An image of Assassin's Creed Red has surfaced online, providing fans with a closer look at the presumed protagonist of the upcoming open-world RPG entry set in Japan. This image doesn't confirm any major details, but it fulfills fans' long-standing desires for a Japanese setting in the franchise. Ubisoft seems to be responding to these requests, with the torii symbol in Assassin's Creed 3 hinting at the development of Assassin's Creed Red.
Ubisoft writer Pierre Boudreau uploaded an image as his LinkedIn banner, which seems to be an unofficial marketing material. The image showcases the presumed protagonist's face, giving a clear look at her. In the previous announcement for Assassin's Creed Red, she appeared hooded and her face was not visible. Alongside the protagonist's face, the image also features an Assassin's Creed logo on the right side, which appears to be a standard logo rather than stylized according to the sect, era, or location. It's worth mentioning that there seems to be some kanji below the symbol, although it is partially obscured by the banner style.
Rumors and leaks surrounding Assassin's Creed Red suggest that the game might have two protagonists. The first protagonist, depicted in the uploaded image, is said to be a female shinobi. The second protagonist is rumored to be an African samurai, potentially based on Yasuke, a real African samurai from 16th-century Japan who achieved such a rank. However, the truth of these rumors remains uncertain, as only one half of the equation was evident in the announcement trailer.
Assassin's Creed Red is currently being developed and is expected to be the next console entry in the franchise. It follows the recent release of Assassin's Creed Mirage. It is important to note that this information should be taken with caution. However, considering the significant number of requests for this particular setting, it is reasonable to assume that Ubisoft has high expectations for the title.
