We might have our first look at Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red’s protagonist in a new bit of art.
Just over a year ago now, Ubisoft revealed a game that many fans have wanted for years: Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red, a title that promises to bring the series to Japan for the first time.

Not to mention the character, a young woman, is holding a Japanese-looking sword. Boudreau’s about section also says he is “currently working on Assassin’s Creed: Project Red,” which I assume is a mistranslation, but either way I think you’re starting to get the picture.
