TheAssassin’s Creedfranchise has taken fans to time periods and locations all over the world, from Italy during the renaissance to Ancient Egypt to colonial America and more. However, there’s consistently been one location in particular that fans of theAssassin’s Creedfranchise have wanted to see that has yet to be explored in a main series game, and that’s feudal Japan. Ubisoft has not announced any plans to make anAssassin’s Creedgame set in Japan, but a newly released video gives fans an idea of what such a game might be like.
YouTuber TeaserPlay uploaded a video that shows what anAssassin’s Creedgame set in 1333 Japan would be like, built using Unreal Engine 5. The idea of the video is simple, and that is show what anAssassin’s Creedgame could look like when using next-generation graphics and tools like Unreal Engine 5’s nanite and lumen features. The video shows an assassin exploring city streets, perching on rooftops, and caps off with a shot of a vast, mountainous landscape.

While only a concept video, it does make an effort to mimic the HUD of anAssassin’s Creedgame. The bottom right-hand corner has icons for the unnamedAssassin’s Creedassassinto perform various functions, while their health bar is located on the opposite side of the screen. The top of the screen includes a compass with various icons on it, pointing the assassin to missions and side content. It’s an impressive video, and it may make fans even hungrier for a main seriesAssassin’s Creedgame set in Japan.
The title of the video is a nod to theAssassin’s Creed Infinityproject that was announced by Ubisoft last year. While there aren’t a lot of official details to go by, we do know thatAssassin’s Creed Infinitywill be a live-service gamethat will focus on multiple time periods. It’s certainly within the realm of possibility thatAssassin’s Creed Infinitycould be the game that takes players to feudal Japan, but that remains to be seen.
Assassin’s Creed Infinityisn’t the only newAssassin’s Creedgame that’s in the works. Reports indicate that a new main series game calledAssassin’s Creed Riftis also in development.Assassin’s Creed Riftis reportedly going to be smaller in scale than the other recent main series entries and in some ways, will be a return to the franchise’s roots by returning the focus to stealth action over RPG elements. It will supposedly be aboutBasim Ibn Ishaqand serve as a prequel toAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, but fans will have to wait for Ubisoft to share more information to be sure.
