Players who still enjoy Assassin’s Creed Rebellion have until January 12, 2027, to access the mobile strategy RPG. Ubisoft has confirmed that the servers will close permanently on that date, making the game unplayable and ending more than eight years of operation. The title has already been removed from app stores, so anyone who has not downloaded it can no longer start playing.
What changed for Assassin’s Creed Rebellion?
Ubisoft’s decision follows the closure of Ubisoft Halifax, the studio that previously supported Assassin’s Creed Rebellion. A smaller team in Paris continued development afterward, but the publisher has now confirmed that live support is ending.
The game launched as a mobile-only strategy RPG built around assembling and improving a personal Assassin Brotherhood. Players can recruit familiar characters, form teams for infiltration missions, and take part in limited-time events. Its roster includes Aguilar de Nerha, Ezio Auditore, Claudia Auditore, and Shao Jun, presented through a stylized cartoon-inspired visual direction.
Once the servers close on January 12, 2027, those systems will no longer be available. Ubisoft has also said that personal data connected to the game will be removed from its databases. This means the shutdown is not simply a pause in updates or a temporary loss of access; the game itself will no longer function.
Who can still play before the servers close?
Only existing players can continue using Assassin’s Creed Rebellion during the remaining service period. Since the game has been delisted from app stores, new players cannot download it through the usual storefronts. Anyone who already has access can continue exploring the available content until the server deadline, though the game’s long-term future is no longer in doubt.
Ubisoft is granting existing players 1 million Helix Credits when they log in between now and the closure date. The bonus is intended to give players more freedom to enjoy the game’s remaining content before access ends. Players with questions, including questions about possible refunds, can contact Ubisoft’s customer service team.
The practical takeaway is straightforward: current players should log in while the servers remain active, use the remaining period to revisit their Brotherhood and events, and contact support promptly if they need assistance with their account or purchases.
What should Assassin’s Creed fans expect next?
Assassin’s Creed Rebellion’s shutdown highlights a familiar problem with live-service games: when server-dependent titles are retired, players can lose access permanently rather than receiving a preserved offline version. Rebellion may not be the most prominent entry in the franchise, but it still represents a distinct part of Assassin’s Creed history and one of Ezio Auditore’s appearances.
The series itself is continuing. Following the launch of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced earlier this year, Ubisoft has also continued teasing Assassin’s Creed Hexe, which is widely expected to be the next mainline release. Neither project changes Rebellion’s status, however. The mobile game’s final service date remains January 12, 2027, and there is no indication in the source material that it will return after the shutdown.
What players should know
- Assassin’s Creed Rebellion servers will close permanently on January 12, 2027.
- The game has already been removed from app stores, preventing new downloads.
- Existing players can receive 1 million Helix Credits by logging in before the shutdown.
- The game will become unplayable after the servers close.
- Ubisoft says related personal data will be deleted from its databases.
- Customer service remains available for questions, including potential refund concerns.
Expert View
Assassin’s Creed Rebellion is no longer a game to begin investing time or money in as a long-term experience. Existing players still have a meaningful window to revisit its content, but the delisting and confirmed server closure make permanent preservation unlikely. Ubisoft’s login bonus and continued customer support are useful short-term measures, yet they do not solve the larger issue of losing access to a game that depends entirely on online service.
