For many fans, Assassin’s Creed Red is the most exciting and promising Assassin’s Creed project in several years. Gaming audiences have been pleading for an Assassin’s Creed game set in Japan ever since the franchise settled into its anthology format, so Assassin’s Creed Red needs to go above and beyond to meet certain expectations. Ideally, Ubisoft will be able to make Red reach those lofty heights with some help from thoughtful and meaningful game design.
