The AC game set in feudal Japan is called Assassins Creed Shadows, may have leaked its own release date

The first trailer premieres on YouTube tomorrow

A while back Ubisoft revealedabout a billion Assassin’s Creed projects. The first of these to leap into the carefully placed haystack of release wasMirage, which I liked. Up next, it seems, is the artist formally known as Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red. All we knew about red was that it would be set in feudal Japan, something fans have been clamouring for for literal years. Now we know that it’s an AC game set in feudal Japan calledAssassin’s Creed Shadows, and it’s getting an “official cinematic world premiere trailer” debuton YouTube tomorrow, at 5pm BST.

Shadows is supposedly going to be another full-sized AC game in the vein ofValhallaandOdyssey’s massiveopen worlds, which means you will probably see me screaming about it needing to be smaller and less full of busywork. Mirage was smaller but it was still big! And it was really fun!

Anyway. Personal bugbears aside, I wouldn’t expect too much from the cinematic trailer, partly because it’s a cinematic trailer, which means nothing for what the game will actually be like, but also because I’d predict bigger reveal-sauce will be saved to spray all over Geoff Keighley’s eager face atSummer Game Festin June. I am actually excited for this game, by the way, I really like Assassin’s Creed.

Remember to check back onthat YouTube videoafter work tomorrow to see a dramatic trailer with all action music and silhouettes and that.
