Rumor: the new part of the Assassin's Creed series will take players to Edo-era Japan

 

According to unconfirmed reports, the next part of Assassin's Creed will be called "Warriors" and will take players to Japan from the period between the 17th and 19th centuries.

The details were provided by a user under the nickname Onion00048, who shares unofficial news about the games on Twitter. However, information about the next part of the series most likely came from the 4chan forum.

Assassin's Creed Warriors will be released in 2022 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X / S. The game takes place in Japan during the Edo period, that is, between 1603 and 1868. During the aforementioned period, the Land of the Rising Sun was ruled by the Tokugawa clan.

In Assassin's Creed: Warriors, the main protagonist will be a female representative named Akako Shiratori, who is the "newcomer" to the Japanese order of assassins. Unlike recent Valhalla, where players could switch between genders on the fly, Warriors will only have one main character. We will spend most of our adventure in Tokyo.

According to unofficial information, many references to the beliefs and mythology of the Japanese are planned - for example, we will encounter Oni demons and youkai creatures. The Assassin recruitment system introduced in Assassin's Creed Valhalla will also return.

It should be noted that this is unconfirmed information, which should be treated with a fair amount of skepticism.
