Ubisoft is developing 2 unannounced Assassin's Creed titles set in Ancient Rome and Jerusalem. The projects include a mainline entry codenamed Mars alongside a mobile project codenamed Pocket. Ubisoft has not officially confirmed either title, and actual release windows sit years away due to schedule shifts across the franchise.
Industry insider J0nathan reported details on the Roman project, citing 2 independent sources with access to internal Ubisoft systems. The game uses the working title Mars and places its historical setting during the Ancient Rome era. Early speculation points to a potential tie in with the upcoming Netflix Assassin's Creed adaptation. Plot details and lead character information remain undisclosed for now.
The second game carries the working title Pocket and targets smartphone platforms. This release returns to Jerusalem, a core location originally featured in the first game from 2007. The leak does not clarify whether the story connects directly to the classic character Altaïr. Specific gameplay systems also remain unannounced, leaving it uncertain whether the project mirrors standard console mechanics or uses simplified mobile controls.
Reporters at Insider Gaming confirmed hearing about both codenames, though they noted ongoing production challenges inside Ubisoft. Development on the darker themed Assassin's Creed Hexe reportedly hit internal roadblocks, pushing its launch target back to 2028. Because of this backlog, project Mars is unlikely to arrive before 2029 to 2030 if it advances through full production.
