On Oct. 9, 2025, Game File reported that Ubisoft canceled a planned Assassin’s Creed game set during the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War. Players would have controlled a formerly enslaved Black character moving west to start a new life, confronting injustice and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. Sources cited backlash over previous reveals and the tense U.S. political climate as key reasons for the cancellation.

That’s disappointing if true. The concept had a lot of potential for historical storytelling.

Ubisoft canceling another project isn’t shocking anymore — but this one could’ve been special.
