Onscreen footage of a cancelled Assassin's Creed game titled "Assassin's Creed Destiny" has surfaced, revealing gameplay elements such as stealth kills, the series' signature leap of faith, and a spinning umbrella weapon. The game, developed by Tencent's TiMi Studio Group, was reportedly in production for current gaming platforms.
Clips traced back to a February 2025 prototype hint at the game's setting in ancient China, specifically the year 206 BCE, nine years after the mobile game Assassin's Creed: Jade's release in 215 BCE. The story follows a female assassin infiltrating a besieged sacred palace to retrieve a mysterious artifact, with an early boss encounter featuring the warlord Xiang Yu.
Parkour movements and an umbrella-style weapon with ink-brush abilities were also showcased. Codename Jade, a project mentioned in March, was linked to the cancelled game, but no release date or further details have been announced. Additionally, Ubisoft announced the closure of Finnish studio RedLynx, affecting up to 52 positions, and laid off 70 employees at Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced studio in Singapore to better align with upcoming production needs.
