UPDATE 14/5/24: In typical Ubisoft fashion, the release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows has already leaked online, in advance of it officially being announced later this week when the game’s first full trailer becomes available.
Mark your calendars, as you will be able to play a stealthy ninja Assassin in feudal Japan on 15th November. That date was mentioned by Ubisoft itself in the description for the game’s upcoming trailer – and has now been edited out.
For more on the game and when that first trailer will drop, see our original story below.
ORIGINAL STORY 14/5/24:Ubisoft’s upcoming feudal Japan-set Assassin’s Creed game now has a final name: Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Previously, it was known only under its working title, Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red.
Shadows will get a full reveal later this week, on Wednesday 15th May at 5pm UK time. It’s then we’ll get a full trailer for the game, which will debut then on YouTube (or you’ll be able to find it right here on Eurogamer).
Ubisoft is yet to say when Shadows will launch, other than confirm it will arrive before the end of the current financial year (in March 2025). But the game will almost certainly land during the series’ usual prime end of year sales slot – in either October or November 2024.
