Leaked Assassin’s Creed Invictus Image Gets Official Response From Ubisoft

A well-known source of leaks for the Assassin’s Creed series was discovered using artificial intelligence to alter what’s claimed to be the first official image of Assassin’s Creed: Codename Invictus, Ubisoft Montreal’s upcoming multiplayer game. Ubisoft publicly called out the leaker on Twitter, but Assassin’s Creed fans are split on whether his actions were wrong.

Those following the Assassin’s Creed series are familiar with Codename Invictus. First revealed at a Ubisoft event in 2022, it could have been overshadowed by announcements for games like Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Skull & Bones, as well as other new Assassin’s Creed titles like Mirage, Codename Hexe, and Codename Red. However, fans hoping for a multiplayer Assassin’s Creed game have been patiently waiting for updates for over three years, with very little official information released.

Ubisoft Comments on Doctored Assassin’s Creed: Codename Invictus Image

A reliable leaker named j0nathan recently shared what he claimed was the first screenshot of the upcoming Codename Invictus game. The image showed a character with dual blades, wearing colorful robes, standing in an arena filled with fans. Surprisingly, the official Assassin’s Creed account responded, accusing j0nathan of sharing false information. They explained the image likely started as a test image but had been significantly altered, possibly using AI, and promised to share official details when they were ready. This came shortly after j0nathan reported problems with the game’s closed testing phase.

Ubisoft tried to dismiss a leak, but their response actually seemed to confirm it was at least partially true, according to many fans. The leaker, j0nathan, initially warned people to be understanding about the art style of the new Assassin’s Creed game, explaining it wasn’t finished and still contained placeholder elements. He’s since shared what he says is the original, unedited image. The main differences between the leaked and original versions seem to be color adjustments – the character’s clothing is simpler in the original, and the sky is less vibrant.

J0nathan likely released the leaked images to address concerns about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Codename Invictus. He had previously revealed the game would include competitive rounds similar to Fall Guys, which sparked rumors of a cartoonish art style. J0nathan seemed to be trying to show people what the game would actually look like, presenting a more realistic visual style. However, he didn’t explain why he’d altered the colors in the leaked images to begin with.

A recent, pointed discussion on social media has left fans of the game feeling uneasy. Ubisoft hasn’t said much about the project in over three years since it was first announced, and now a well-known leaker seems to be stepping back from covering Assassin’s Creed. j0nathan, who previously claimed he could share images from Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe – the upcoming single-player game about the witch trials – now says he won’t release them, likely due to Ubisoft’s response.
