You have to prove your detective skills in a mystery about the new Assassin’s Creed.
Secret meetings, coded messages and puzzles are part of an assassin’s everyday life. So it’s no wonder that Ubisoft smuggled several codes into the announcement of Assassin’s Creed Shadows that fans are now puzzling over.
Some of the hidden messages have now even been deciphered. They point to a website and suggest some details about the game.
What do the codes mean?
The press release for the latest announcement states that fans can get involved Hourglass puzzle
to crack. Whoever solves it can even expect a reward. The puzzle is made up of several number codes that are hidden in various graphics for the new Assassin’s Creed:
In the short teaser, a sequence of letters and numbers can be seen on the hourglass. It probably just means shinobis, i.e. ninjas.
Of course, many eager players don’t want to be asked twice. On Reddit They immediately set about deciphering the messages and can already produce results. One of the codes can apparently be converted into one mysterious message convert:
Time is fleeting.
Fragments are scattered across the network.
The hourglass becomes the key to preservation.
You should hurry up.
Of course, one can speculate about the meaning of these sentences, but it is hardly possible to derive anything clear from them. Is this a reference to the story of Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Or is it just about solving the puzzle and finding out more codes?

Everything we know so far about Assassin’s Creed Codename Red
In addition to the ominous news, fans have also discovered more solid information. This is apparently how one of the codes works translate into the year 1579. This could be an indication of the time frame, which fits previous rumors. Because according to them, in Shadows we play the historical samurai Yasuke, who lived at exactly that time.
Fans also want to find outthat the codes on the website assassinscreed.com/hourglass
refer. At the moment, accessing the address still results in an error message, but perhaps the site will go live after the game is revealed. The reward promised by Ubisoft could also be waiting for players here.
You can find the most important information about the reveal of the next Assassin’s Creed in the news above. In the meantime, further information about the release date and the expansions for Shadows has also leaked.
