It looks like it’s going to a big year of build-up for Assassin’s Creed Red, as Ubisoft has confirmed its feudal Japan open world isn’t far away. Speaking overnight as part of its quarterly sales report, the French publisher announced that the anticipated PS5 outing will arrive by the end of March 2025, which means it could actually be locked for this holiday.
As part of the same presentation, the organisation also announced that Star Wars Outlaws will launch by the end of 2024.
“Moving forward, we’re gearing up for a very promising line-up for fiscal year 2025, including the upcoming release of Star Wars Outlaws in 2024, which should be a major milestone in the video game industry, especially given the undeniable appeal of this legendary franchise that will be coming for the first time to the open world territory, as well as Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, set in the long-awaited feudal Japan universe,” said bigwig Yves Guillemot.
Assassin’s Creed games tend to be tentpole holiday releases, so even though Ubisoft has given itself some breathing room with the March 2025 target, we’ll be surprised if this doesn’t arrive in November. The only potential wild card here is Star Wars Outlaws, because that game is trending incredibly well, and feels like it could be a major Christmas title, too.

I'm glad we have ronin ,stellar blade and final fantasy 7 rebirth,Tekken and like a dragon. Western games isn't fun anymore. I got games for the PS2 fall of max pain ,PS3 final fantasy X and x'2 hd and lord of the rings war of the north x360. Geez those games are a hell of a lot better than what we're getting here.
Can they please bring back multiplayer , it would be a missed opportunity if they don’t bring it back with a ninja twist or something . running on rooftops and stealthing with smoke would be dope . AC3 multiplayer was fire , i don’t remember if AC4 had MP but i was burnt out by then . now i think its time for a comeback though , theres no competitors, decieve inc is dead on pc
Really looking forward to both Star Wars Outlaw and AC Red
As someone who enjoys the series as a whole… but in particular the Origins and Odysseys out there, I’m hyped for this. Similarly hyped for Star Wars: Outlaws also.
Actually curious about seeing the AC Infinity hub. But SW Outlaws is the one I'm mainly looking forward to.
Star Wars outlaws looks really good, will be interesting to see how that reputation system works
More hyped for AC Hexe than Red tbh. Hope Outlaws turns out great though!!
October 2024?
@NinjaNicky that makes me miss the old school Thief games when you could use moss arrows to soften your footsteps, water arrows to put out torches, distract guards by clanking arrows off of things. I’d love for them to go back to that style with that game.
Looks like a big year for media set in feudal Japan between AC, Rise of the Ronin and Shogun.
Sounds good, will definitely play them both.
@Thefellowshipmember think it's pretty mad painting all western gaming with one brush
@EchoRange until I see other wise lol
Twin peaks I'm a fan of that.
New shoes 😂
Looking forward to both, assassin's creed japan has been a long time coming.
@nomither6
Apparently AC Invictus is supposed to be a stand alone multiplayer game that is slated to come out later. I miss AC multiplayer too so hopefully that one turns out good. AC multiplayer was lots of fun back in the day.
sounds good.assasin creed red is going to be n.i.c.e. word up son
All these ghost like games coming out now! I'm not sure about AC Red yet but Outlaws looks great.
Everything is trending with this feudal japan phase, let's see how well this goes for the AC series then, this is new to me
@Darylb88 yeah, like I said, it will grow when more games come out with similar themes
Looking forward to both
Wonder if we'll see a trailer this summer. Think all we have so far is a teaser.
PLaying my first AC now with Odyssey. Using it to practice French. They're good for practicing a second language there's a decent amount of talking and they'll help you with where to go
@munkholt same i'm guessing if you do certain things in other games it could unlock things across every game or certain games.
@Korgon oh hell yea, that’s what’s up. even if it doesn’t turn out good i’m glad they’re trying to bring it back
No other game interests me as much as Red.
Playing as an assassin in Feudal Japan should be epic IMO.
