Assassin's Creed is reportedly going to ancient Rome, while a mobile spin-off heads to Jerusalem

Ubisoft is rumored to be developing two new Assassin's Creed games, with one set in ancient Rome and the other in Jerusalem. The Rome game, said to be codenamed Mars, reportedly features a mobile spin-off. According to YouTuber Xj0nathan, two sources with access to Ubisoft's backend systems confirmed the information. The game is expected to be linked to an upcoming Assassin's Creed TV series.

The second title, codenamed Pocket, is anticipated to be a mobile experience that resembles Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Mastery Challenge and resembles the latest Prince of Persia. The mentor character is a figure named Myriam. However, Insider Gaming could not independently confirm the codenames, attributing the information to the franchise's turbulence since former Assassin's Creed boss Marc-Alexis Côté left Ubisoft.

The next mainline game, Assassin's Creed Hexe, has reportedly been delayed by another year, possibly releasing in 2028, or possibly next year. If Mars progresses into full production, Insider Gaming does not expect any updates until 2029 or 2030. Notably, Assassin's Creed has previously visited Rome in 2010's Brotherhood, but that iteration featured a Renaissance version of the city.

The leak emerged less than a week after Ubisoft released a statement regarding the series' future, asserting there are no new remakes of past games in development.
