Setting

Assassin's Creed Red aims to bring the franchise to a popular but unique setting, which should be reflected in how the Hidden Ones are portrayed.

While it is important that Assassin's Creed Red's Hidden Ones maintain the same motivations and goals of international chapters of the group, Japan should foster different manners of operation, with influences from things like the Bushido code and the Shinto religion. The formation of the Hidden Ones is portrayed in the story of Assassin's Creed Origins, with other titles such as the more recent Assassin's Creed Valhalla also showcasing this early organization in detail. [unique take on the Hidden Ones](https://gamerant.com/assassins-creed-origins-hidden-ones-bayek-aya-lore/) from a singular cultural influence, given the notorious isolationism that Japan experienced during this period. Alongside being set in Japan, it is known that Red will be set within the country's feudal era, which means there's a time window between 1185 AD to 1603 AD in which the game could be set. Red is set to be available via the upcoming Assassin's Creed Infinity live-service platform, with the title "Red" currently being a codename that is subject to change. The likely detail behind the release will allow Japan to be fully realized within the Assassin's Creed universe, and the time in which the game reportedly takes place should offer a fascinating glimpse into how the Hidden Ones formed in such an otherwise isolated nation.
