Ubisoft is finally answering years of fan requests with the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, taking their historical stealthy-stabby series to a Feudal Japan setting. According to the publisher, the game is set to be the “biggest blockbuster for 2024,” but it might be so big that it’s actually responsible for the cancellation of another big Ubisoft sequel.
According to a report from VGC earlier this week, Ubisoft had cancelled a sequel to the Breath Of The Wild-like open-world game, Immortals Fenyx Rising. The publisher responded to the report and said “we are redirecting and reallocating some creative teams and resources within the Quebec studio to other unannounced projects.” Ubisoft continued to say the decision would accelerate the development of projects in their “biggest brands.” We now have an idea of what those projects could be.
