It appears that the release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, previously codenamed Assassin’s Creed Red, has been leaked. This information comes from the game’s official YouTube channel, so it’s the real deal.
According to its description, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on November 15th, 2024. Yep, as previously rumored, this new AC game will come out this year.

In January 2024, BunnyTheVillain, a Ubisoft Partner and Content Creator, claimed that the game would be released in November 2024. And, as we can see, the leaker was spot on. The leaker also claimed that its first gameplay trailer will be aired this June.
Ubisoft plans to officially reveal Assassin’s Creed Shadows on May 15th. The French company will first share a cinematic trailer. Then, during its June showcase event, we can expect its first gameplay trailer.
From what we know, Assassin’s Creed Project Red will take the series to Feudal Japan. From what we know, the game will be powered by AnvilNext, and not by the Snowdrop Engine. Thus, it will be interesting to see whether Ubisoft will implement any Ray Tracing effects. We are also curious to see whether there will be day-1 support for NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3.0.
Before closing, the first details for its Season Pass have also been leaked. Season pass will cost $40 and will give you access to a questline called “Origami Killer”. Naturally, it will also include all future DLCs and expansions.
And that is that. We expect Ubisoft to reveal more details about it on May 15th. Let’s just hope that this will be an actual AC game, and not just in name. I personally liked the direction of Mirage. Still, I don’t expect this new mainline AC game to follow its steps. This will most likely be an evolution of Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla. So, that’s kind of a bummer.
Stay tuned for more!
