Ubisoft is hosting the Ubisoft Forward showcase this weekend, and the company appears to be planning to announce multiple Assassin’s Creed project.
The company has promised to discuss Assassin’s Creed Phantom during the reveal, and it’s possible that Assassin’s Creed Infinite will be involved as well. Ubisoft previously promised that more information about the Assassin’s Creed series “Future” would be shared during Ubisoft’s advance, and rumor has it that the company will announce three more projects in the series.
According to Tom Henderson, the games we hear about Assassin’s Creed are set in Japan, Europe and China during a witch hunt in the 16th century.
Rumors or hopes that an Assassin’s Creed game will take place in Japan have been circulating since 2015, but this is the first time we’ve heard of the game’s scene during a European witch trial, and it sounds pretty cool.
The report notes that concept art for the Japanese game (Project Red) shows a female samurai assassin, and players can choose between a female or male character. Described as “the darkest Assassin’s Creed game ever,” Project Hexe (previously known as Project Neo) takes place in 16th century Europe, according to Henderson. The game set in China, Project Jade, will be a mobile game.
Ubisoft is also expected to announce the final DLC version of Valhalla, and the company may finally reveal its Assassin’s Creed VR title Project Nexus.
Ubisoft Forward will air on Saturday, September 10 at 12pm PT, 3pm ET, 8pm UK.
