It looks like it’s going to a big year of build-up for Assassin’s Creed Red, as Ubisoft has confirmed its feudal Japan open world isn’t far away. Speaking overnight as part of its quarterly sales report, the French publisher announced that the anticipated PS5 outing will arrive by the end of March 2025, which means it could actually be locked for this holiday.
As part of the same presentation, the organisation also announced that Star Wars Outlaws will launch by the end of 2024.
“Moving forward, we’re gearing up for a very promising line-up for fiscal year 2025, including the upcoming release of Star Wars Outlaws in 2024, which should be a major milestone in the video game industry, especially given the undeniable appeal of this legendary franchise that will be coming for the first time to the open world territory, as well as Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, set in the long-awaited feudal Japan universe,” said bigwig Yves Guillemot.
Assassin’s Creed games tend to be tentpole holiday releases, so even though Ubisoft has given itself some breathing room with the March 2025 target, we’ll be surprised if this doesn’t arrive in November. The only potential wild card here is Star Wars Outlaws, because that game is trending incredibly well, and feels like it could be a major Christmas title, too.

I'm glad we have ronin ,stellar blade and final fantasy 7 rebirth,Tekken and like a dragon. Western games isn't fun anymore. I got games for the PS2 fall of max pain ,PS3 final fantasy X and x'2 hd and lord of the rings war of the north x360. Geez those games are a hell of a lot better than what we're getting here.
Can they please bring back multiplayer, it would be a missed opportunity if they don’t bring it back with a ninja twist or something. running on rooftops and stealthing with smoke would be dope. AC3 multiplayer was fire, i don’t remember if AC4 had MP but i was burnt out by then. now i think its time for a comeback though, theres no competitors, decieve inc is dead on pc
Really looking forward to both Star Wars Outlaw and AC Red
As someone who enjoys the series as a whole… but in particular the Origins and Odysseys out there, I’m hyped for this. Similarly hyped for Star Wars: Outlaws also.
Actually curious about seeing the AC Infinity hub. But SW Outlaws is the one I'm mainly looking forward to.
Star Wars outlaws looks really good, will be interesting to see how that reputation system works
More hyped for AC Hexe than Red tbh. Hope Outlaws turns out great though!!
I'll never stop asking for a Robin Hood Assassins Creed game. Or a decent Robin
Assassin's Creed Red, the next entry in the series by Ubisoft set in Feudal Japan, has seen its first information surface, revealing in-game mechanics and the engine behind it.
A number of gameplay details about Assassin's Creed Red have emerged online, having been outlined in a new report from a credible industry insider. Among many other things, the leaked information suggests that the upcoming game will completely overhaul the Assassin's Creed series' parkour system, which is something that hasn't been done in about a decade.
We have new rumors about Assassin’s Creed Hexe, that may spark interest in its new scenario.
Since being announced back in 2021, there have been a lot of questions about what Assassin’s Creed Infinity would even be. We've known Infinity would be a hub of sorts that connects other Assassin’s Creed experiences and includes online elements, but beyond that, things have remained sketchy. Well, we now have some more details from insider Tom Henderson, who has a very good track record when it comes to all things Ubisoft. According to Henderson, he’s laid eyes on demo footage of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, and, surprise surprise, it sounds like it will be a heavily live-service-focused product.
New details about Ubisoft’s planned hub for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, titled Assassin’s Creed Infinity, have been leaked. While Ubisoft itself has been quiet about Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a new report by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson sheds some light on some of the features we can expect from the live service hub when it launches.
Ubisoft is finally releasing the long-delayed permadeath mode for Assassin's Creed Mirage in title update 1.0.7.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is out next month on PS5, and the game's frame rate has been a hot topic as we creep towards launch. Last month, the rumour mill was in full swing, with social media sources claiming that the title would be capped at just 30 frames-per-second on console — which obviously isn't ideal for an action-heavy RPG releasing in 2024.
Sony somehow managed to panic the entire PS5 fanbase this week, when it said it won’t release any entries in its “major existing franchises” this year. The wording was always imperative here, however: it appeared to be alluding to tentpole series like Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War, thus meaning it’ll rely on smaller franchises and new intellectual property instead.
A new Korean age rating for an updated version of Nintendo Switch exclusive Shin Megami Tensei V was posted online overnight before being quickly pulled, suggesting Atlus plans to re-release the JRPG in the future. Named Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, the listing mentioned «improvements and additional content» and could be the multi-platform port that was datamined out of the original release a few years ago.
Sony will not release any sequels or updates to “major existing franchise titles” before March 2025. The wording is exceptionally important here: this does not eliminate the likelihood of PS5 exclusives entirely, it just means you’re unlikely to see a new Ghost of Tsushima or The Last of Us in the next 12 months and a bit.
Helldivers 2 is proving to be pretty damn popular right now, and we imagine it'll be seeing plenty of activity this weekend — but developer Arrowhead has just given fans even more incentive to hop in.
New previews for upcoming RPG Unicorn Overlord have landed, and they're very, very positive overall. For those out of the loop, this is the latest project from 13 Sentinels and Dragon's Crown developer Vanillaware, and once again it's diving into something different, this time trying its hand at Fire Emblem-style, character-driven strategy.
