Fans of Assassin’s Creed, get ready for major changes: according to insiders, Ubisoft is preparing several new projects in the Assassin’s Creed universe. And it’s not just about big AAA releases — the studio also has plans for a mobile spin‑off.
Assassin’s Creed Mars: Ancient Rome is in the spotlight
According to reliable insider j0nathan, a game codenamed Mars is in development. Its action will take place in Ancient Rome — but which era will serve as the backdrop is still unclear. Will it be the royal period, the turbulent years of the Republic, or the heyday of the Empire — the developers seem to be keeping the intrigue alive.
Given that Assassin’s Creed traditionally focuses on historical accuracy and immersing players in the atmosphere of the era, Rome could become one of the franchise’s most ambitious settings: from narrow streets and markets to gladiatorial arenas and palaces of the patricians.
Assassin’s Creed Pocket: a mobile look at Jerusalem
Another project is a mobile game codenamed Pocket. The events will unfold in Jerusalem, and this could be an interesting experiment: Ubisoft will try to adapt the recognizable mechanics of the series for mobile devices.
This format could attract a new audience and give fans the opportunity to experience the Assassin’s Creed universe outside the home — albeit in a more compact format.
Delays and real deadlines: what to expect in the coming years
Don’t count on major projects being released soon. Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming confirms that he has heard about Mars and Pocket, but he emphasizes that development plans may change. As an example, he cites Assassin’s Creed Hexe — a game about witch hunting in 16th‑century Germany. If its release was previously expected at the end of 2027, now the release has been pushed back to 2028.
Based on these delays, full‑fledged projects like Mars should not be expected before 2029–2030. This is due not only to the scale of the development but also to the fact that Ubisoft is currently actively developing several areas of the franchise at once.
What is already known officially
In late October, Ubisoft shared its overall plans for the development of Assassin’s Creed. The studio confirmed that teams are working on unannounced projects with new settings, but at the same time emphasized that new stories are now the priority, not remakes of classic parts.
