In conjunction with Gamescom 2023, Ubisoft and Level Infinite studio revealed a gameplay trailer for Assassin’s Creed Jade, a forthcoming mobile title set in ancient China.
The trailer showcases the main character sprinting across rooftops, wielding a bow for archery, executing stealth eliminations, riding swift horses, and clashing with foes in open combat.
According to the official description, players follow Xia, the game’s central figure, as the setting unfolds in the third century BCE during one of China’s earliest unified empires. The narrative centers on an apprentice assassin who trains under Wei Yu, a renowned damp warrior, weaving a tapestry of intrigue and conflict across a richly realized historical landscape.
Assassin’s Creed Jade delivers a freely explorable open world that players can traverse on foot or mounted, offering a sense of mobility and immersion typical of the franchise. The project adopts a free-to-play model, making the game downloadable at no cost on iOS and Android devices, with monetization likely through in-game purchases as is common in mobile experiences. This approach aligns with the growing trend of accessible, cross-platform experiences that invite a wide player base to engage without a purchase barrier at entry. [VG Times]
Registration to participate in upcoming playtests is available on the official website, inviting fans to experience the early build and provide feedback that could shape future updates and content pacing.
Among the platform targets, Assassin’s Creed Jade is planned for release on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A precise launch date has not been confirmed in this update, but official communications point to a release window that follows the mobile rollout. The broader Assassin’s Creed Mirage, previewed in separate materials, continues to be a point of reference for fans following the franchise’s evolution in both traditional and newer formats.
