Ubisoft will officially release the first trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows, formerly known as Codename Red, tomorrow at 6:00 PM.
According to Ubisoft, this is a ‘cinematic reveal trailer’ – in line with how previous Assassin’s Creed games were revealed. The first gameplay footage will probably be shown during Ubisoft Forward on June 10.
The game was announced in September 2022 with a very short teaser, which revealed that it is set in feudal Japan. Although there is no further information yet, numerous rumors give a better idea of the game. For example, players would play as a samurai named Yasuke and a shinobi named Naoe.

Shadows is also said to be set during the Sengoku period, with players possibly experiencing the Ōnin War. In terms of gameplay, there would be a grappling hook, stealth would play a greater role and the game will reportedly be bloodier than previous parts.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will probably only appear on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S and PC.
