Assassins Creed Jade Cancel?
Ubisoft’s recent major corporate restructuring, which led to the cancellation of the highly anticipated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, has sent ripples of uncertainty through its upcoming projects. While the fate of the rumored Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag remake hangs in the balance, another title now faces serious scrutiny: the mobile RPG Assassin’s Creed Jade.
The concern stems directly from Ubisoft’s official report on its organizational reset. The company stated it has “discontinued 6 games,” including the Prince of Persia remake, four unannounced titles, and notably, “a mobile title.” While no specific game was named, the community’s attention immediately turned to Assassin’s Creed Jade, the long-in-development free-to-play open-world game set in 3rd-century BC China.
Assassin’s Creed Jade was officially announced and has undergone beta testing, but its journey has been marked by delays. Originally targeting a late 2023 release, it was pushed back without a firm new date. This prolonged development cycle makes it a potential candidate for cancellation under Ubisoft’s new “more selective portfolio prioritization criteria.”
The gaming community is actively debating the possibility. Some fans on forums like Reddit argue that if Jade were the cancelled title, Ubisoft might have named it directly, given its public announcement. Others, however, see the writing on the wall. “Considering what is going on with that game, I wouldn’t be surprised if it does end up getting cancelled,” shared one user, pointing to its existing delays.
Another point of speculation is market competition. Some note the success of similar-themed games like Where Winds Meet, suggesting Jade may have struggled to find a unique position in a crowded field. This, combined with Ubisoft’s new directive to enhance quality and focus resources, creates a precarious situation for the mobile project.
It is crucial to emphasize that Ubisoft has not officially cancelled Assassin’s Creed Jade. The report only confirms one mobile title was cut among several projects. However, the lack of recent updates and its inclusion in this broader period of austerity makes its future highly uncertain.

For now, fans of the franchise are left waiting for clarity. Ubisoft’s reshuffle signals a clear intent to streamline its output and double down on projects that meet a new quality threshold. Whether Assassin’s Creed Jade can meet that bar, or if it has become the unnamed mobile casualty, remains an open and developing question.
