Assassin's Creed: Shadows first trailer release date announced

Ubisoft has announced the upcoming release of a cinematic trailer for Assassin's Creed: Shadows, the next mainline installment in the series that was previously known by the codename Codename Red. The trailer will be released on May 15.

A page for the game has already appeared in the Ubisoft Store, but without any details yet. The pre-order will probably open right after the first trailer is released, and the first screenshots will appear.

Assassin's Creed: Shadows will be an open-world role-playing action game set in feudal Japan. Rumor has it that the game will have two main characters — an African refugee and a female shinobi. The project is expected to be released before the end of 2024 for PC and consoles.
