Information about Assassin's Creed Shadow's (previously Codename Red) protagonists may have been leaked prior to the game's cinematic trailer debut.

Assassin's Creed has always been particularly prone to leakage - even from publisher Ubisoft, who just made an oopsie and potentially revealed the game's release date - and the series' first trip to Feudal Japan is no different. Leaked box art images feature two badass protagonists and details from normally reliable AssCreed leaker j0nathan sheds light on both.
