Assassin's Creed Red's Real Title Leaks Online

As many fans know, Assassin's Creed Red has been the codename for the franchise's open-world RPG set in Feudal Japan. Sometimes these code names carry implications about a title, such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla's codename being Kingdoms, representing the game's structure. Unfortunately, all that can really be derived from Assassin's Creed Red is its setting in Japan.

Assassin's Creed Origins is so-called because it explores the creation of the Hidden Ones and the predecessors of the Templar Order, the Order of the Ancients.

AC Mirage, finally, isn't just in relation to the desert setting, but the true identity and development of Basim. The very obvious implication of Assassin's Creed Shadows is the importance of stealth.

According to other Assassin's Creed Red/Shadows rumors and leaks, stealth is getting a bigger emphasis and overhaul than the past open-world RPGs in the franchise. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the ability to turn enemy commanders into
