Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade Enters Public Testing Later This Month

Sandwiched between Nexus and Mirage at today’s Ubisoft Forward event, we got a longer look at the upcoming mobile Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade, which is preparing to enter a public testing phase ahead of launch.

Codename Jade is being made in partnership with Tencent’s Level Infinite publishing division, and is a mobile-first Assassin’s Creed game that takes place in China. It’s set during the Qin Dynasty, just after the Warring States period, and between the events of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins.

One notable feature shown off was the character customization. In a series first, players can fully customize the look and style of their assassin character, including gender, clothing, and other features.

During the presentation, we learned that Codename Jade is “making great progress” since it was first revealed almost a year ago, and has just wrapped up a technical alpha on iOS. Ubisoft is opening up pre-registration today for a public testing phase before the game releases on iOS and Android at a later date.

In the same presentation, we also got a look at Assassin’s Creed: Nexus for VR and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which is out this October. For this and all things Summer of Gaming, keep an eye on IGN for the latest trailers, news, and interviews.
