Update: This report contains an error relating to the genders of the Samurai and Shinobi. Assassin’s Creed Codename Red features a male Samurai and female Shinobi. The male Samurai is an African refugee.

Official details on Assassin’s Creed Codename Red are still scarce, with Ubisoft so far revealing that the game is set in Feudal Japan and is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec. That said, a few more in-development details provided under anonymity to Insider Gaming reveal that the game could be one of the best yet, especially if you’re a fan of stealth.

 
Writer Pierre Boudreau has updated his LinkedIn page with this new banner that seems focused on Assassins Creed Codename Red and features a potential female protagonist and the logo of the game

My bad 😆 I thought there was one too, but didn’t show up when I did a search, thought maybe it was a mention in the news thread. Link me, please 🙏

Weird, I didn’t get a notification… 🤔

But I gotchu, merging in a bit.

*Edit to add below

I think when I searched I had “Codename“ included. The search isn’t always my friend 😆

The heroine should be called Naoé/Naoi (but it could be changed between now and the release of the game, like Jora became Eivor in Valhalla). It is also very likely that it is her name in Japanese "ナオエ" under the Assassins logo on the right.

- Her story is similar to that of Bayek. A member of the Order will kill her father and a quest for revenge will follow which will push her to create/join the shinobis.

My reaction: The Order should strictly refer to the Templars this time since this takes place ~30-50 years after Ezio's death, but creating the shinobi shouldn't be possible since there's already established lore of them existing well before the Europeans first got there (I do see the /join bit, though.) And her name shouldn't be spelled ナオエ since that specific system of writing Japanese (katakana) is reserved for foreign loanwords.

Still can't let the fact that Eivor is s purely woman name go, wtf lol?
Still, if it's basically Origins/Odyssey gameplay, I'd buy the prerelease whatever bundle day one.
