Huge map, great graphics and lots of stealth: insider reveals new details about Assassin's Creed Red

French insider and blogger j0nathan joined Tom Henderson in leaking information about Assassin's Creed Red and released a video in which he named some more interesting facts about the new game in the setting of feudal Japan.

Here's What We Know

According to j0nathan, in Assassin's Creed Red:

• The map will be larger than in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but smaller than in Assassin's Creed Odyssey;
• there will be fewer markers on the map of the new game, which should encourage players to explore locations on their own;
• the graphics in Assassin's Creed Red are more impressive than in previous instalments of the series, but inferior to Ubisoft's ambitious action game Star Wars Outlaws;
• NPCs in the game will be more combat capable and will offer decent resistance;
• for the first time in the Assassin's Creed series, characters will be able to crawl on the ground and assume combat stances;
• Ubisoft will add a boarding hook to Red, as in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Ghost of Tsushima;
• there will be many more stealth options, light sources can be destroyed or extinguished and you can hide in the dark;
• some enemies can be recruited and used as spies;
• Shinobi girl Naoe will have kunai, smoke bombs, shurikens and bells at her disposal.
