Ubisoft Ironically Comments on Leaked Image of Rumored Assassin's Creed Invictus

Ubisoft acknowledges the circulating Assassin's Creed Invictus leak, but denies its authenticity, suggesting that J0nathan may have shared misleading information.

Ubisoft has commented with a dose of irony on a new leak involving Assassin's Creed Invictus, the rumored multiplayer game in the franchise. After an image purportedly linked to the project circulated on social media, the company swiftly responded with a curt "Nice try (Good attempt)," implying the material was not genuine. The incident began when J0nathan, a known leaker of the series, posted an alleged screenshot on X, claiming it showed an early version of Invictus. Ubisoft reacted to this popular image from a hidden Assassin's Creed playtest via an official Assassin's Creed social media page. The image quickly spread among fans and specialized profiles, reigniting discussions about Ubisoft's next move for the Assassin's Creed brand. Soon after, Ubisoft joined the conversation to debunk the content, accusing the discloser of spreading misinformation. The company stated that the leaked image was heavily doctored with AI. The leaker, J0nathan, subsequently admitted to using AI to remove a playtest watermark and tweak some colors in the picture, then posted what he claimed was the real, unaltered version. Obvious differences between the two images were noted, including variations in lighting, character clothing colors, and arena floor textures in the edited one.

Ubisoft's Response to Alleged Assassin's Creed Invictus Leaks and Assassin's Creed Mirage Gameplay Update

J0nathan then confronted Ubisoft's response with another image, which he claims is the original, unedited version. "Too bad for them," he ironically remarked, referring to the company. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Assassin's Creed Invictus. The game has been rumored for some time as a multiplayer title set within the series universe, but Ubisoft has yet to officially reveal concrete details about gameplay, setting, or release window. Until then, any leaked material remains speculative. Separately, J0nathan, the leaker, stated he had images from Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe, a single-player game focusing on witch trials. However, after Ubisoft's intervention regarding the Invictus leak, J0nathan plans to keep those Codename Hexe images private. In a related announcement, Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin's Creed Mirage's gameplay footage is not a demo but originates from early development. The company is focusing on making the whole gaming experience better based on player feedback.
