Leaked footage of the scrapped Assassin's Creed Destiny has surfaced, showing a mission from the China-set project reportedly led by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group. According to screenrant.com, the footage was secured by the outlet MP1ST.

Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile-exclusive title set in Ancient China during the Qin Dynasty period, was first announced back in 2022. After a few beta periods, it went silent with many believing it was canceled, until Ubisoft revealed in March this year that it was still in development. According to MP1ST, Jade took place in 215 BCE, while Destiny was set in 206 BCE.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the fourteenth main installment of the series, and Assassin's Creed Hexe is the next reported mainline installment and is currently in development. Ubisoft also recently released a highly requested remake of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
