Assassin’s Creed’s feudal Japan sequel will arrive in the next 12 months
In a financial report released today, Ubisoft said they intend to release Star Wars Outlaws in 2024. That was already expected. More interesting is that Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, the stab ’em up set in feudal Japan, is also due to launch in the “fiscal year 2025”. That’s also known as “before March 2025”, for all you non-CEOs.
Ubisoft will reveal more Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Red details in May
With a few well-received games under its belt in recent months, Ubisoft will be looking to keep up its momentum into 2024 and beyond. The publisher may well be gearing up to host an Ubisoft Forward event in May, as that’s when it’s promised to reveal more details about several of its upcoming projects.
In the company’s latest earnings report, it said it will reveal the bulk of its lineup for the 2024-25 fiscal year, which runs through March 2025, in May. It will unveil more details about Star Wars Outlaws and a Japan-set Assassin’s Creed game codenamed “Red,” as well as free-to-play mobile titles The Division Resurgence and Rainbow Six Mobile. The latter will arrive roughly two years than first expected.
Ubisoft previously indicated that Outlaws, which is slated to be a truly open-world Star Wars game, is scheduled to arrive later this year. We can also now expect Assassin’s Creed Red (or whatever its official name is) to drop before April 2025 as well.
Meanwhile, there’s likely to be some news on the XDefiant front soon too. Ubisofot expects “a limited contribution from XDefiant” to its bottom line this quarter, so perhaps that’s when the free-to-play tactical shooter will arrive. Plus, after many, many delays, Ubisoft will at long last release Skull and Bones next week.

Never mind the Arkhamverse, the only good Batman game is Assassin’s Creed 2
So, the long awaited next foray into the Arkhamverse, Suicide Squad, looks like a pretty miserable experience from what we’ve seen so far. A screenshot doing the rounds on Twitter puts the spotlight on a dreary looking set of stat modifiers that reads like a tech manual for transistors. The fact that it’s a live-service looter shooter with no true single-player mode (‘co-op with bots’ doesn’t count), and the horrifying red flag of requiring a constant internet connection to run, shows just how far Rocksteady has strayed from the light. The light being Arkham “it’s a Metroidvania, actually” Asylum, the solitary jewel in the crown of Batman-themed video games, nestled amongst a litany of, frankly, shite.
I know at this point people will be throwing turnips at me for suggesting that Arkham City isn’t as good as Arkham “did you realise it was a Metroidvania” Asylum, but please rest assured that I’m only suggesting it because it’s true. The last thing Arkham “it’s like a 3D Metroidvania! Wow!” Asylum needed was bloat: and Arkham City, frankly, was where the rot started to set in on that front.
Of course, you can’t blame them. Where else can a video game sequel go from a tight, long night in the worst hospital on earth, other than out into the streets? The only way is “more”. More open world. More of the rogues gallery. More, sigh, hours of gameplay. In fairness to Arkham City, it did often feel like a series of Asylum-style vignettes connected by an overworld hub, but by the fourth game when we’re screaming around a deserted Gotham in Batman’s Car (by popular demand), the magic had entirely unravelled.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Update Will Fix a Persistent PS5 Issue
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Final Update Fixes Inventory Issues And Eivor’s Hair
Ubisoft has announced the final update for its open-world RPG Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The 1.7.0 update will go live on February 21 at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET and is set to fix quality-of-life issues.
The patch size will vary based on the player’s platform of choice. For those playing on the Xbox Series X|S, the update will be 15.1GB and 9.9GB on the Xbox One. Meanwhile, for PlayStation 5 players, the update will be 0.5GB; for PlayStation 4 players, it’ll be 1.6GB. Lastly, for PC players, it’ll be 6.3GB.
The Captain kill at Katzenelnbogen during River Raids, where the kill isn’t confirmed, has been addressed. Most instances where light-fingered skills that prevent key items from being picked up have been fixed, and the issue where Eivor’s hair clips through the hood after completing an Animus Anomaly has also been addressed.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s final update is here
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has now received its final update, named Title Update 1.7.0. The final patch for the game went live at 12pm GMT / 7am EDT / 4am PDT today, February 21, across all platforms, and will squash a final few remaining bugs for players.
What exactly has been addressed in this ultimate Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update? Well, don’t get your hopes up for anything too exciting or game-changing. Basic bugs across the gane’s world, armory, and inventory have been addressed. River Raids now do not count the Captain at Katzenelnbogen when the kill is confirmed, and some miscellaneous quality-of-life fixes have been dished out.
Released in November 2020 with its final content update releasing in December 2022, and likely already completed by those keen to play it, this update is the final patch after two years of continued support since the game’s launch. With an all-new Assassin’s Creed title supposedly set to release during 2023, it appears that Ubisoft is now moving on from its prior endeavour.
