The first game is currently codenamed Red and is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec and will reportedly take place in feudal Japan, while the second, codenamed Neo or Hexe, is reportedly being developed at Ubisoft Montreal and will reportedly be set in the Roman Empire during the witch trials.Details on the latest game in the franchise, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, via Ubisoft can be seen below:
