The menu prominently displays a black and red background which features two characters that seem to confirmAssassin’s Creed Red’s recent rumors: a female assassin and a male samurai. The menu clearly appears to be a work-in-progress, as text is randomly littered on the top and bottom of the screen.

Interestingly, players will seemingly have the ability to choose their character from the main menu. It’s unknown if players will also be able to do so on the fly while in the game, as having to back out to the main menu each time may likely cause annoyances for players. There’s also a “Select Season” option onRed’s main menu, indicating that the game is likely to have seasonal content that players will be able to swap between at will. Additionally, a “Play Demo” option is included as well, which hints that Ubisoft could possibly be planning to put out a demo sometime aroundAssassin’s Creed Red’s full release.
