We’ve known this for a long time new Assassin’s Creednicknamed Red, will have two playable characters: Man and woman. This woman is supposed to be a shinobi (ninja) and we recently saw her in leaked artwork. On the contrary, a man should be African refugeewho mastered all the skills of an assassin and became a samurai.
It was previously speculated that this character might be inspired by the real-life story of Yasuke. This has now been confirmed by a reliable source. Tom Henderson has learned that Ubisoft is indeed using the story of the samurai Yasuke, but the writers have reworked it to fit the story and direction of the game.
According to Henderson, she is a woman Naoe Fujibayashi, daughter of the legendary Fujibayashi Nagato, who is considered one of the three greatest Iga-jonin. It is said that Naoe seeks revenge for the death of her father.
The story of the second hero will also begin tragically. Yasuke is like a slave on a ship. She was attacked and everyone died, including his beloved wife. Only he survived and was taken to Japan, where he was trained as a samurai in the service of Nobunaga. Another interesting thing about this story is that at the beginning Yasuke and Naoe are sworn enemies, but at some point they both begin to fight to unite the country.
It is at the beginning that history must deviate from history. Although even today we don’t know if Yasuke was actually a slave. There are discussions about this. More details on Wikipedia.
Historical characters that will appear in Assassin’s Creed Red include: Fujibayashi Nagato (Naoe’s father), Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide, Hattori Hanzo (returning character), Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Kodai-in (Hideyoshi’s wife), Oichi, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Akechi Kagemitsu and others. .
If nothing changes, Ubisoft has scheduled Assassin’s Creed Red for release in 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Now the French company is focusing on promoting Assassin’s Creed Mirage And Assassin’s Creed Nexus.
