Assassin’s Creed: Fate, a Qin Dynasty-themed game led by Tencent’s TiMi Studio and originally planned for PC and consoles, has had its early gameplay and in-game footage leaked to the media.

According to a report by MP1st, in this gameplay footage based on a February 2025 prototype, the Assassin can even wield a spinning weapon resembling the Tianji Umbrella in a boss fight against Xiang Yu. The ink-wash UI and yin-yang decorative bars were already in place, too.

But after TiMi restructured in early 2025, the project was canceled outright. It’s a real shame to see a Qin Dynasty-set game with distinctive weapons get so far, only to be scrapped before it could come to fruition.
