Assassin’s Creed fans may have more than Hexe to watch in the coming years. A new leak claims Ubisoft is developing two additional projects: a game reportedly set in Ancient Rome and a mobile title linked to Jerusalem. None of the projects has been formally announced, so players should treat the details as early reporting rather than confirmation.
What the reported new Assassin’s Creed projects are
According to a report shared by Insider Gaming, Ubisoft’s internal systems may reference two Assassin’s Creed projects under the codenames Mars and Pocket. Mars is reportedly planned around Ancient Rome, while Pocket is described as a mobile Assassin’s Creed game set in Jerusalem. These would be separate from Assassin’s Creed Hexe, the next major entry Ubisoft has publicly teased but has not fully revealed. Ubisoft has not confirmed either codename, setting, platform plan, or release window. That distinction matters: development codenames can change, and projects seen internally are not guaranteed to reach launch in the same form.
Who the settings could appeal to
Both alleged locations have history within the series, though each could offer a different angle. Jerusalem was one of the key cities in the original Assassin’s Creed, making the reported mobile project a potential return to the franchise’s earliest period and themes. Rome also played a major role in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, but that game was set in 1499. A title focused on Ancient Rome would therefore explore a substantially earlier version of the city and could give Ubisoft room for a historical setting closer in era to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. For players, the biggest unanswered question is how Pocket would be designed: the report identifies it as mobile, but provides no details on gameplay, monetization, scope, or whether it would connect directly to other releases.
What to watch for with Hexe and the TV series
The same leak suggests Assassin’s Creed Hexe has faced a difficult development period and may have moved internally from a reported 2027 target to sometime in 2028. The report links that turbulence to the 2025 departure of Marc-Alexis Côté, formerly Ubisoft’s vice president and executive producer for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Ubisoft has shared little about Hexe since its 2022 teaser, so there is no official release timing to compare against the claim. The report also suggests Mars could be related to the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Netflix series, which is planned for Rome in 64 AD during Nero’s reign. A shared setting could indicate a broader franchise connection, but exactly how a game and show might overlap remains unclear.
What players should know
- Mars and Pocket are reported codenames, not officially announced Assassin’s Creed titles.
- Mars is said to be set in Ancient Rome, while Pocket is reportedly a mobile game set in Jerusalem.
- Jerusalem and Rome have appeared in prior Assassin’s Creed games, but Ancient Rome would be a new era for the series.
- Hexe is reportedly delayed internally, though Ubisoft has not announced a release date.
- The alleged Rome project may have links to the Netflix series, but no crossover has been confirmed.
Expert View
The reported slate is promising because it could give Assassin’s Creed distinct historical settings across console-scale and mobile experiences. Still, the most useful takeaway is caution: Ubisoft has confirmed neither Mars nor Pocket, and Hexe’s timing remains unannounced. Fans should follow official updates before treating the leak as a roadmap.
