At the moment, no gameplay details are available for Assassin's Creed Codename Red; All we know is that it is set in Feudal Japan and will feature an open-world RPG experience. That means it will likely be similar to the gameplay structure we saw with Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.

Marc-Alexis Cote, the Vice President and Executive Producer for the Assassin's Creed franchise, said that Assassin's Creed Codename Red is the "next premium flagship title" and will serve as the "future of our open-world RPG games on Assassin's Creed."
