The release was originally planned for 2023.
Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile game set in medieval China, may not take place in 2024, Reuters reports, citing sources. Most likely, the publication writes, the game will be released in 2025.
According to the publication, the release of Assassin's Creed Jade may be postponed due to a change in plans by the Chinese holding Tencent. The company, which owns a stake in Ubisoft, is actively involved in the development of Assassin's Creed Jade.
As a result of a change in strategy, Reuters sources say, Tencent has transferred hundreds of people involved in Assassin's Creed Jade to other projects. There is no talk of canceling the project.
According to Reuters, Tencent decided to redistribute resources when it turned out that mobile projects based on popular Western franchises were not bringing in too much profit. Previously, a mobile game in the world of NieR could have been canceled for similar reasons.
Tencent's new priority, sources say, is the creation of successful projects based on its own franchises. This approach will allow you to avoid paying royalties, which usually amount to about 15-20% of revenue.
Assassin's Creed Jade was originally scheduled to be released in 2023, but the game was then delayed until 2024. The release of the game on PC and consoles has not yet been announced.
