Overview
- Multiple outlets reported that YouTuber xj0nathan has leaked two unannounced Assassin’s Creed codenames: “Mars,” said to be a Rome-set entry, and “Pocket,” described as a mobile game set in Jerusalem; these claims have not been confirmed by Ubisoft.
- Insider reporting from outlets that cite anonymous sources says Assassin’s Creed Hexe has hit development problems and been pushed internally toward a 2028 target, with key creative leads Clint Hocking and Benoit Richer having left and Jean Guesdon stepping in.
- Sources quoted by coverage warn Mars is an early-stage project unlikely to be revealed or released before 2029 or 2030 if it moves into full production, while Pocket is described as shorter, challenge-based mobile gameplay featuring a mentor character named Myriam.
- Ubisoft has officially stated there are no new remakes of past Assassin’s Creed games in development, and multiple outlets noted they could not independently verify the new codenames or schedules.
- The reports, if accurate, would expand the franchise across console and mobile formats and create a staggered roadmap that affects developers’ timelines and fans’ expectations; the series also has recent ties to a Rome-set Netflix adaptation and the studio’s recent Black Flag Resynced work.
