The LinkedIn profile of Ubisoft writer Pierre Boudreau has led to speculation about the main character of the new Assassin’s Creed game, possibly called “Red”. The picture, featuring a bright red background and a Japanese temple, also fits in with what is known so far about this new game.

This hint has fans expecting more information at The Game Awards event later this year. While Assassin’s Creed Red doesn’t have an official release date, reports point to 2024. Multiplayer is said to return in 2025, and the spooky-looking Codename Hexe is planned for 2026.
Leaks about Red point to a Feudal Japanese setting and the possibility of two playable female characters. Boudreau’s recent LinkedIn update further fuels speculation about a female lead character, as it aligns with the game’s theme. Fans have long argued that female assassins should be cast, given that abstract memories drive the narrative.
Regarding the potential second character, rumored to be a Shinobi, it is speculated that he is an African refugee who has adopted the principles of Assassin’s Creed. While details have yet to be confirmed, Boudreau’s hint keeps the excitement alive.
Amidst this controversy, some comments reflect the ongoing debate of female character representation in games. Regardless of appearances, gamers are looking forward to discovering the special abilities these characters will bring to the gameplay experience.
