As the next flagship game for the series, Assassin's Creed Red has an opportunity to take inspiration from both AC Odyssey's mythical beasts and Japanese folklore to bring players face-to-face with the infamous yokai. Since the most recent Assassin's Creed games have moved away from strictly adhering to historical accuracy and into the realm of fantasy with blurred lines between science and magic, it's highly likely that AC Red will follow suit. Crucially though, AC Red's Japanese setting holds could see a wealth of myths, legends, and folklore introduced to the series and its larger narrative.
