The Assassin's Creed series continues to bring players back to China with the Assassin's Creed Jade mobile game for the first time since the release of the 2.5D spin-off in 2015.

The Assassin's Creed Jade game was first introduced in 2022 as a collaboration between Ubisoft and Level Infinite, the publishing arm of Tencent. The story of this title is located during the Chinese dynasty. However, after several beta stages, news and new information about the project stopped. This silence ended in March of this year; As Ubisoft confirmed, Jade is still in development.

However, Jade was not the only joint project between Ubisoft and Tencent focused on China. New information suggests that the two companies were secretly working on another major Assassin's Creed game for current platforms, but the project was shelved before it had a chance to make serious progress.

The previously undisclosed project was led by TiMi Studio Group, a subsidiary of Tencent and game developer Jade. The exact time of the start of the development is not known, but the available evidence shows that the project was stopped in the early stages; Because most of the content obtained from it relates to a prototype that was built in February 2025.

Tentatively titled Assassin's Creed Destiny, the game was meant to take players back to the Chinese Dynasty, like Jade, but the story took place a few years later. The events of Jade take place in 215 BC, while Destiny takes place in 206 BC.

The video of the prototype of the game is obtained from the collection of works of various developers who worked on the project. The main part of this video shows a mission in which a female assassin must reach a mysterious artifact inside a holy palace; The palace that Xiang Yu, the historical figure of China, has besieged with his forces. There is also a short part of the early stages of designing a battle with one of the bosses, which is related to this Chinese military commander.

In addition to this mission, the video also shows other parts of the gameplay. In one section, the player-controlled character wields a rotating umbrella-like weapon in a temporary, experimental environment. Other animations also show the character of a man using parkour moves to attack and knock out enemies. According to the usual routine of the Assassin's Creed series, this issue could indicate the possibility of choosing the gender of the main character by the players; However, it is possible that the male character was included in the game only for preliminary tests and as a temporary sample.

The published video also provides us with images of the weapons. These range from the main character's unique swing weapon to the enemies' weapons, including Xiang Yu's impressive large ax spear. About a month before the prototype was ready, TiMi studio had announced the reconstruction of its internal structure. During these changes, the studio was divided into four groups, each of which was responsible for different projects. Not long after these changes, the development of Destiny was also canceled.

Destiny wasn't the only project to be shelved during this period. Athena, a third-person action title inspired by Greek mythology, was in development between 2024 and 2026. Another project was called Invictus; An open-world game with a cyberpunk visual style directed by Ashraf Ismail, one of the long-time faces of the Assassin's Creed series, at TiMi's Montreal branch. The development of this game ended after the closure of that branch in early February of this year.

The cancellation of these projects happened in a situation where Tencent had started changing its direction some time ago. Ambassador Arjan reported in 2024 that the company plans to shift its focus away from western collections; Because such games have a lower profit margin compared to the domestic titles of the Chinese market. Instead, Tencent decided to devote more developers to making party games and group entertainment. Jade was also affected by these changes, with hundreds of developers reportedly being transferred to the DreamStar party game project.

However, unlike Destiny, the fate of Jade did not lead to the cancellation of the project and only delayed its release. The game is still in development, but Ubisoft has not yet announced a specific release date for it. Therefore, fans of the series will have to wait a little longer to once again travel to ancient China in the role of a member of the Assassin's Guild.
