Assassin's Creed Red and Assassin's Creed Hexe, two highly anticipated titles, are poised to continue the ever-evolving Assassin's Creed franchise. Although more information has surfaced regarding the setting of Red, both games remain shrouded in mystery regarding their place in the franchise's extensive timeline.
Although Red and Hexe may exist in distinct time periods, they have the potential to be closely connected to other AC titles. This offers the thrilling prospect of familiar characters from previous games making appearances, leading to informed speculation about the specific locations and timeframes of these upcoming releases.
Where Assassin's Creed Red and Assassin's Creed Hexe May Take Place On the Timeline
The confirmed Japanese setting of Assassin's Creed Red has created a stir among fans, as Japan has long been a highly desired location for an AC game. Ubisoft has confirmed that Red will follow the successful open-world RPG formula of recent titles like Valhalla and Odyssey, but with exciting new gameplay features unique to its setting. Players will have the option to play as either a samurai or a shinobi protagonist, immersing themselves in feudal Japan.
Naturally, the term "feudal Japan" encompasses a vast period of time, presenting Ubisoft with a plethora of options for the game's timeline. From 1185 to 1603 AD, Japan experienced the era of feudalism, offering over 400 years for Ubisoft to choose from. During this time, numerous significant historical events unfolded in Japan, aligning with Assassin's Creed's tradition of exploring major geopolitical conflicts. This means that Red could take place during the same period as the original Assassin's Creed, all the way through to the time of Ezio and Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
The setting for Assassin's Creed Hexe remains unclear, as only a short teaser trailer has been released. However, there are some leading theories based on the trailer's depiction of a dark forest, firelight, and an assassin symbol made of twigs. These elements, combined with the codename Hexe, have led many to believe that the game will revolve around a coven of witches.
During the reign of the Holy Roman Empire from 800 to 1806 AD, alleged witches faced intense persecution throughout Europe. The theories surrounding Assassin's Creed Hexe focus on this era. More specifically, the height of witch persecution occurred between 1590 and 1630 in what is now Germany, providing a narrow timeframe for the game's setting.
AC Hexe potentially took place between 1590 and 1630, providing a departure from the settings seen in previous Assassin's Creed titles. This time period has not been explored extensively in other franchise media, making Hexe a fascinating opportunity to delve into the world of the Assassin Brotherhood. However, on the other hand, Assassin's Creed Red has a wealth of options to draw upon from a range of other games in the series. With its expansive open world, Red could incorporate appearances from numerous iconic assassins. Development is currently underway for Assassin's Creed Red.
