Two new Assassin’s Creed games are reportedly in production at Ubisoft, not including the already announced Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe. One of the two titles will apparently take the series to Ancient Rome, a setting that it has strangely never visited before.
According to reliable Ubisoft leaker xj0nathan, a new Assassin’s Creed game codenamed 'Mars' will seemingly be set in Ancient Rome. That’s about all we know for now. It’s also unclear if this will be a smaller-scale project or a major release in the mainline franchise, perhaps following Hexe, though many assume it will be an “in-betweener” game like Assassin’s Creed Mirage while the mainline entries roll out.
The other theory is that Mars will tie into the upcoming Netflix series which is coincidentally set in Ancient Rome as well. The series will be set in the year 64 AD during the reign of the Emperor Nero. It will be set against the backdrop of the Great Fire of Rome and the political turmoil around that era. It would make sense for Ubisoft to capitalise on the opportunity and have a tie-in game that further builds on the TV series.
The other game leaked is Assassin’s Creed Pocket, a mobile game set in Jerusalem with gameplay “akin to the Mystery Challenges in AC Valhalla.” This will be a smaller project for mobile devices with visuals similar to the latest Prince of Persia game, The Rogue Prince of Persia.
In related news, Ubisoft veteran Eric Baptizat returned to the company back in August, though it’s uncertain which project he’s working on. Some theorise he’s involved in Mars while others believe his expertise is better suited to Hexe, though we’ll have to wait and see Ubisoft’s plans going forward.
The latest entry in the series, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, is currently available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
