One of the primary concerns revolves around the potential cancellation of Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile game that was initially scheduled for release in 2023. The game allows players to step into the shoes of a customizable assassin set during the Qin dynasty in China, around 215 BCE. Despite a teaser and a closed beta announcement earlier this year, fans are increasingly anxious over the lack of updates. One user remarked, "I find it weird that it still hasn't been officially announced yet, and yet it was supposed to release in March? To my knowledge, Ubisoft hasn't done a shadow drop like Oblivion."
While some fans speculate that Jade may be among the canceled titles, others express skepticism. One fan noted, "It’s not impossible, but if Jade was the cancelled mobile game I think they would have mentioned it, as Jade was already formally announced. That said, considering what is going on with that game, I wouldn’t be surprised if it does end up getting cancelled." This uncertainty has led to various theories about the future of the game.
Another intriguing theory suggests that Jade might be undergoing a transformation into a console release, similar to Assassin's Creed Mirage. A user posited, "I still theorize that Jade is being remade to be a console game. Something tells me Tencent, who now owns major stakes in Ubisoft, may have influenced this direction." As fans await further news, the speculation continues to grow, leaving many wondering what the future holds for the Assassin's Creed series.
