Ubisoft Prepares Two New Assassin Creed Games
Ubisoft is developing two unannounced games within its flagship stealth franchise under the codenames Mars and Pocket, according to reports.
YouTuber j0nathan first leaked the details regarding both projects, pointing to a return to settings the series visited in past installments. YouTuber j0nathan relied on two sources with access to Ubisoft systems for the information.
The project carrying the codename Mars will take players to ancient Rome, according to ppe.pl. Eurogamer.pl noted that the setting links to an upcoming Netflix television series set in the same era.
The series takes place in 64 AD during the reign of Emperor Nero and the Great Fire of Rome, Eurogamer.pl reported. The series previously visited Rome in 2010’s Brotherhood, though that installment was set in Renaissance Rome rather than antiquity.
A second title bearing the codename Pocket is in development as a mobile game set in Jerusalem, ppe.pl reported. CD-Action added that the mobile project features a visual style similar to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and a protagonist named Miriam. YouTuber j0nathan reported that the mobile title’s gameplay resembles the Mastery Challenge mode from Valhalla and features a mentor figure to the protagonist named Myriam.
Ubisoft Restructuring Affects Production Timelines
Insider Gaming sources noted that while these codenames appeared in internal discussions, verifying the projects remains difficult amid structural shifts at the French publisher, Eurogamer.pl reported. Ubisoft split into separate creative houses following a deep corporate restructuring, and former franchise lead Marc-Alexis Côté departed the company, according to Eurogamer.pl.
Insider Gaming reported that the upcoming mainline entry Creed Hexe faced a one-year internal delay, pushing its expected release to 2028, Eurogamer.pl reported. CD-Action noted that Mars will likely enter full production only after the launch of Hexe.
Unresolved Questions and Future Outlook
Insider Gaming does not expect any information about the Roman project before 2029 or 2030, according to reports. CD-Action noted that developers have not yet confirmed the gameplay style for Mars, so it is unclear whether the title will adopt a linear action structure or a role-playing format like recent major entries.
Ubisoft has not publicly confirmed the existence of either Mars or Pocket, leaving their ultimate release status unverified by official channels.
