While little has been revealed since Assassin's Creed Codenamed Red was teased last year, the upcoming samurai fantasy has a lot of momentum behind it. For years Japan has been one of the most heavily requested settings in the series, but it's not alone now with the success of Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima.
For as much as I have enjoyed the Assassin's Creed franchise over the last 15 years, I absolutely adore Ghost of Tsushima. The 2020 open-world game clearly borrowed from Ubisoft's flagship series with its emphasis on stealth and exploration, however, Sucker Punch did something that no title in the long-running historical games had done before and made the combat the best part of the experience.
