The world of Assassin’s Creed will soon expand to mobile devices again and the latest looks to be its biggest and possibly best release yet.
Developed by Level Infinite, Codename Assassin’s Creed Jade takes the series to 215 BCE during the time of the Qin Dynasty in China. From what we have seen so far in the recent trailer, this seems like a fully-fledged Assassin’s Creed game, as we’re going to on mobile. In fact, it looks pretty good. Hopefully, when it releases, it will play as well as it looks and won’t be too insistent about shoving microtransactions in our faces, but we’re talking about a mobile game after all.
