Assassin's Creed may be one of the most recognizable gaming IPs in the world, but that doesn't mean it's bulletproof. The series has had its fair share of ups and downs, ranging from peaks like Assassin's Creed 2 to valleys like the infamously broken state of Unity at launch.
Now, it looks like another spot of trouble is on its way, and unlike Unity's gain in favor over time, this one might not have a happy ending. A new report suggests that an upcoming Assassin's Creed title is currently in a very rough state, putting it at risk of being significantly delayed or outright canceled before its planned release.
On X, Ubisoft leaker j0nathan provided an update on Assassin's Creed: Codename Invictus, a planned PvP multiplayer game courtesy of former For Honor developers. j0nathan claims that playtests for the game happened on April 30 and that they failed to impress (in his exact words, they were "vraiment nul à chier," which you're free to translate for a less tactful phrase).
As a result, j0nathan suggests that Assassin's Creed Invictus, which was apparently planned to release this year, could very well end up being delayed or canceled....
