Ubisofthas confirmed thatAssassin’s Creed Red, the long-awaited game that takes the series to feudal Japan, is set to launch in the next fiscal year.

I’m a bit bewildered by Guillemot calling this the “feudal Japan universe” as if feudal Japan was dreamed up in the mind of an underpaid comic book writer, but I guess the multiverse era of pop culture has poisoned all our brains. Either way, he ain’t kidding about the “long-awaited” part, since fans have been calling for Assassin’s Creed to hit historical Japan pretty much since the inception of the series.

Red is described as a codename, and few details about it have been revealed so far. We do know that Ubisoft is billing as “the future of our open-world RPG games on Assassin’s Creed,” and is set to tie into the similarly mysteriousAssassin’s Creed Infinityhub.
