Leaked footage surfaces of canceled Ubisoft project 'Assassin's Creed Destiny'
MP1st published leaked gameplay and placeholder footage of what it describes as a canceled Assassin's Creed title called Assassin's Creed Destiny, reportedly developed by Ubisoft with Tencent and set in 206 BCE China during the Qin Empire. The footage shows wall-scaling, stealth kills, and combat options including an umbrella weapon, but the game appears to have been scrapped before release.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The leak highlights how much unreleased work studios like Ubisoft produce before projects are shelved, and raises questions about whether elements could resurface elsewhere. It also draws attention to Assassin's Creed Jade, Ubisoft's still-unreleased mobile entry set in ancient China, which a Reuters report said was delayed to 2025 and which an executive has said will include co-op gameplay.
