Det er ikke altid at et nyt Assassin's Creed-spil repræsenterer et kvantespring for serien generelt, eftersom de ofte bygges sideløbende med hinanden, og derfor ikke altid udvikler sig teknisk eller systematisk. Men sådan kommer det, måske, ikke til at være med Assassin's Creed Codename Red, der står til at lande inden året er omme.
Ifølge en rapport fra Tom Henderson ovre hos Insider-Gaming så byder spillet på en opdateret version af grafikmotoren, og derfor er det muligt at tilbyde ret signifikante nye tilføjelser. Eksempelvis er der forbedret parkour, og også muligheden for at bygge og opgradere sin egen base.
"The move to the Anvil Pipeline has meant that the teams have had to completely overhaul everything in the series, too, including animations, its parkour system, dynamic weather, and more."
Så hvad er nyt? Jo, eksempelvis er der langt mere blod, og mere voldelige animationer:
"Combat in Assassin's Creed Red was described to me as being somewhat similar to Valhalla, but featuring a lot more gore, including blood, and decapitations. Stealth also plays a major role in Red, somewhat akin to Splinter Cell, the player can extinguish torches, hide in tall grass and bushes, and even go prone whenever they please."
Og så var der basebyggeri, der beskrives således:
"Footage provided to Insider Gaming under the condition that the footage does not go public also showed a major evolution to the Valhalla Settlement feature. In Red, players will be able to build their settlement in a big way named the 'Hideout'. The Hideout is where the player will be able to build, at their own will, the likes of an armory, dojo, alter, and more. These buildings are customizable, too, from being able to pick the building location, to being able to choose your roof design to the interior layout and where you can display the likes of your weapons and armor can be displayed."
