Ubisoft Disputes Alleged Assassin’s Creed Invictus Screenshot as AI‑Altered

Ubisoft’s reply signals a tougher line on leaks.

Overview

  • Ubisoft’s official Assassin’s Creed account said a viral Invictus screenshot was heavily altered, likely with AI, and called it misinformation while telling fans it would share details later.
  • xJ0nathan, the leaker who posted the image, said he only changed colors and removed a watermark, then shared what he claimed was the original unedited screenshot.
  • Other users and reporters noted visual inconsistencies between the two images, and coverage concluded the picture likely contains real elements of the project but has been doctored.
  • Recent reports described poor feedback from a private playtest and raised talk of delays or even cancellation, though Ubisoft’s promise to reveal more later suggests the project is still active.
  • Invictus is described by Ubisoft leaders as a new multiplayer approach led by For Honor veterans at Ubisoft Montreal, with a test‑and‑learn plan and features shaped by early player input.
