Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise has always been a melting pot of historical adventures, captivating players with its immersive open-world experiences. This time, Assassin’s Creed Jade takes the legacy to a whole new level by transporting players to third-century BCE China. The closed beta for this eagerly anticipated mobile game is already in progress, with lucky players relishing the opportunity to explore ancient China as an entirely customizable assassin.
However, amidst the excitement of a customizable protagonist, a captivating surprise awaits fans. Leaked gameplay footage, quickly captured and shared on Twitter by content creator JorRaptor, revealed that Kassandra, the beloved protagonist from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, will be making an unexpected appearance in Assassin’s Creed Jade. This unexpected cameo comes as an exhilarating surprise for fans worldwide, sparking speculations about the interconnectedness of the Assassin’s Creed universe.
Kassandra, the fierce and immortal Spartan mercenary, was last seen wielding the Staff of Hermes at the conclusion of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The staff granted her the gift of immortality, making her a timeless character who defies the boundaries of time and space. As we fast-forward through history, it becomes evident that Kassandra’s adventures don’t end in ancient Greece.
The leaked gameplay footage showcased Kassandra lending a helping hand to the new customizable assassin during their adventure in third-century BCE China. Not only does she make a significant appearance in Assassin’s Creed Jade, but she has also made cameo appearances in previous installments like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Ubisoft’s seamless integration of beloved characters across different titles adds depth to the overall Assassin’s Creed narrative, enticing fans to explore the connections between these timeless figures.
Kassandra’s journey through time is far from over. Apart from her role in Assassin’s Creed Jade, she is set to return in another Ubisoft venture – the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR game. By involving Kassandra in multiple games and platforms, Ubisoft offers players an enthralling experience that transcends traditional boundaries.
Her participation in Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR provides an opportunity for players to immerse themselves in her immortal story, gaining deeper insights into her character and witnessing pivotal moments of her life. The VR medium holds great promise for gamers to walk side by side with Kassandra, forging an even stronger emotional connection with this iconic protagonist.
