UPDATE (Dec 19, 2022): The beta test for Assassin's Creed Jade leaked online over the weekend that showed fans three minutes of gameplay. Now, a few days later, even more leaks from the upcoming game have appeared online.
Most of these leaks have been shared to the GamingLeaksandRumours subreddit, so if you're trying to avoid seeing anything about Assassin's Creed Jade ahead of time, we suggest staying away from that particular subreddit for now. If these leaks turn out to be from a build of Assassin's Creed Jade, it looks as if the iOS/Android game will play pretty similar to other beloved games in the series whilst still having a unique play style.
One of the posts features about a minute and a half of gameplay footage which features parkour, combat, and some of Assassin's Creed Jade's ancient China-inspired locations. Another shared what's claimed to be a recording of the 'Ezio Family Song' track from the game's soundtrack, while another gave fans instructions on how to join in on the top-secret beta test themselves. As Ubisoft hasn't publicly shared this yet, you'll be downloading the beta at your own risk.
You can read our original story from over the weekend below.
ORIGINAL (Dec 17, 2022): Another day, another Ubisoft leak and this time, it's the Assassin's Creed adventure currently codenamed "Jade" that's leaked online.
New footage of the mobile game has popped up on both the Assassin's Creed and Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddits, and whilst these leaks typically include blurry screenshots and a couple of seconds of wobbly webcam footage, this one features almost three whole minutes' worth of unedited gameplay that's been recorded directly from the screen of either an Apple iPhone or iPad.
Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Jade back in September and confirmed it's a full open-world entry in the series set in China that's been built for mobile devices - which is exactly where this footage was captured, it seems.
The leak gives us a peek at unedited gameplay from an early build, including combat, cut-scenes, and the new title's environments, too, as well as a flavor of the game's user interface.
You get to see the player character tip-toeing across the Great Wall of China, which appears to happen pretty late in the game, given the character is at Level 40 (thanks, TheGamer). There are even some combat tutorials to soak in, too.
The OP says they're just sharing it, naturally, and aren't responsible for leaking it - rumor has it, it first popped up on Facebook - but I don't suppose the footage will stay online for that much longer. So if you're interested, make it quick!
Assassin's Creed Jade - or whatever it'll end up being called - takes place around 215 BCE and will let you create your own character through which you'll be able to explore ancient China.
"You'll get the chance to do things like parkour atop the Great Wall of China, sneak through bustling cities, engage in intense combat, and discover the secrets, the vastness, of ancient China," as executive producer Marc-Alexis Côté explained at the time.
Here are all the new games of 2023 (and beyond).
