Having already ventured through 13 mainline games, the Assassin's Creed series has woven a tapestry of historical marvels. From Renaissance Italy to Industrial Revolution London and Ancient Egypt, the franchise meticulously reconstructs iconic eras. The upcoming Assassin's Creed Red seems poised to continue this tradition.

While details on the game remain scarce, the anticipation for Assassin's Creed Red is palpable as it promises to fulfill long-standing desires. With the announcement of Assassin's Creed Red, hope reignites for a Japan-themed installment, and perhaps even a long-coveted World War 2 setting in the Assassin's Creed universe.

The Dawn of a New Era: World War 2 in Assassin's Creed

Long-Awaited Settings on the Horizon

Despite traversing numerous historical epochs, fans have clamored for specific settings yet to grace the Assassin's Creed realm. Periodically, Ubisoft polls players on preferred settings, with choices like Feudal Japan consistently topping the list. Other recurrent options include Medieval China, the Spanish Conquistador era, and the Russian Revolution, all eagerly awaited by the community. With Assassin's Creed Red, these neglected desires may finally find fulfillment.

For years, hopes of a Feudal Japan Assassin's Creed seemed distant, with fan pleas seemingly unheard. The reveal of Assassin's Creed Red signals a shift, reigniting possibilities—even for a daring World War 2 backdrop.

Building Blocks for a WW2 Odyssey

Although not a recurring survey favorite, fans have vocally championed a World War 2 Assassin's Creed experience. The yearning intensified after 2014's Assassin's Creed Unity, featuring a Time Anomaly mission amid the chaos of World War 2. This brief yet impactful segment left a lasting impression, echoed in 2015's Assassin's Creed Syndicate with a detailed World War 1 scenario at Tower Bridge. While a World War 2 setting has long been desired, a World War 1 venture could equally captivate players.
