YouTuber Xj0nathan claims Ubisoft is developing two new Assassin's Creed games. One, codenamed Mars, is reportedly set in ancient Rome and may connect to an upcoming Assassin's Creed TV series. The second, codenamed Pocket, is a mobile title reportedly set in Jerusalem that plays similarly to Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Mastery Challenge and features a mentor character named Myriam.
Xj0nathan says two sources with access to Ubisoft's backend systems confirmed the information. Insider Gaming says it has also heard the codenames but could not independently verify them. The outlet attributes some verification difficulty to internal changes at Ubisoft following the departure of former Assassin's Creed boss Marc-Alexis Côté.
Insider Gaming does not expect public announcements about Mars until 2029 or 2030 if it enters full production. The report notes this is the first time Rome has been featured as a main setting since Assassin's Creed Brotherhood in 2010, which was set during the Renaissance.
The leak arrives less than a week after Ubisoft stated no remakes of past Assassin's Creed games are currently in development.
