Not much is known about Assassin’s Creed Codename Red other than that it is in development at Ubisoft Quebec and will be an RPG title set in Ancient Japan focusing on Shinobi Ninjas. However, a new leak has now given some more information about the game to the fans, including a possibility of a potential reveal coming soon.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red was announced a little over a year ago and fans have been eagerly waiting to know more about the game. The release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage has given fans hope that the popular franchise is headed back to its roots with strategic and stealth gameplay. This new leak suggests players can expect to hear more about the game soon.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Logo and Protagonist Leaked
Some rumors and leaks have surfaced on the internet regarding the game and hints that the game could reportedly feature two protagonists. The first one is a female shinobi and the second is an African samurai. The African samurai could allegedly be based on Yasuke, a real samurai who obtained this rank in 16th-century Japan.
There were also rumors that the game could feature Splinter Cell-inspired gameplay. The latest Assassin’s Creed Codename Red leak reveals the reported female shinobi in the game as well as the logo. The latest leak was spotted by Access the Animus who shared it on their X/Twitter handle.

The award-winning writer for Assassin’s Creed, Pierre Boudreau who has worked at Ubisoft as Senior Writer on Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Watch Dogs: Legion updated his LinkedIn banner with an image of a female and logo of Assassin’s Creed Codename Red.
The image in the banner showed a female donning an Assassin’s Creed-style hood, an outfit that’s been synonymous with the franchise since its inception. The female, reportedly the other protagonist can be seen wielding a katana with a Japanese pagoda in the background of the artwork.
The image also showed a standard logo of Assassin’s Creed Codename Red with Japanese calligraphy and is the only information, though unofficial, about the game since it was revealed at the Ubisoft Forward press conference last year.
Not long after the image was uploaded, Pierre Boudreau took down the image, clearly indicating that it was not supposed to be revealed at this time. However, this reveals that Ubisoft is planning for an official reveal soon and the fans’ wishes for a female protagonist could finally be fulfilled.
Assassin’s Creed fans have been asking for a female protagonist for a long time now and they believe that if it’s just memories in DNA, why can’t a woman fight for the Creed?
Fans have excitedly reacted to this leak and were also puzzled if this was a mistake from the senior writer or if it’s a marketing strategy to create buzz around the game before the big reveal which might be coming at The Game Awards.
An X user stated, “Did he jump the gun? This is a big teaser.” Another fan added: “Not gonna lie, she looks so cool! I can’t wait for Red next year. If it truly is the final RPG AC then I’m gonna enjoy the hell out of it!”
Boudreau removing the image made fans speculate that it could have been a genuine artwork for the game. Ubisoft hasn’t announced a release window for Assassin’s Creed Codename Red but leaks have revealed that it could release sometime in 2024.
It will also be the first game in the Assassin’s Creed Infinity. Fans still will have to wait before they can know more about the new title in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and it might not be long before that happens.
