Highlights
- Ubisoft allegedly has two unannounced Assassin’s Creed projects in development.
- The rumors point to a new direction for the franchise across different platforms.
- Development timelines and story details remain uncertain as Ubisoft has yet to comment.
Ubisoft is reportedly developing two Assassin’s Creed projects under the codenames Mars and Pocket. French content creator j0nathan claims Mars is an ambitious title set in Ancient Rome, while Pocket is a mobile game based in Jerusalem.
Neither project has been officially announced.
In the YouTube video published on Nov 6, 2026, j0nathan reported that two sources with access to Ubisoft’s internal database corroborated Mars, although only one confirmed its setting. Insider Gaming has also noticed both codenames but could not independently verify the claims to its reporting standards.
Assassin’s Creed Pocket Could Fill Jade’s Gap
Pocket is reportedly set in Jerusalem, revisiting a location from the original Assassin’s Creed.
The report comes amid uncertainty surrounding Assassin’s Creed Jade. Announced in September 2022, the open-world mobile game opened closed beta registrations in June 2023. Ubisoft delayed it in March 2024, when it was expected to launch in 2025, but has not provided another release window.
Ubisoft Halifax, which worked on Jade and Rainbow Six Mobile, also closed earlier in 2026. Rainbow Six Mobile announced its shutdown in October 2026, although for different reasons.
Codename Mars Might Connect to Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed
j0nathan outlined three possibilities for Mars:
- Aya sequel: A story following Assassin’s Creed Origins in 44 BC, exploring Aya’s efforts to establish the Hidden Ones in Rome after Julius Caesar’s assassination.
- Netflix connection: A story linked to the upcoming series, which takes place in Rome in 64 AD under Emperor Nero. The Great Fire of Rome could feature as its historical backdrop.
- Standalone entry: An independent Roman-era story unrelated to either project.
Ubisoft has not confirmed any storyline or connection. Industry insiders suggest that Mars remains years away from release, with a potential launch window as late as 2029 or 2030 if development continues.
If these projects materialize, Ubisoft could revive interest in familiar historical settings, but delivering meaningful innovation will matter more than expanding the franchise with two more entries.
