Ubisoft is known for its little easter eggs in the titles. This includes the likes of Far Cry 3 and the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Now, they’ve returned to an older title and drawn a connection with an upcoming character.
Access the Animus on Twitter, revealed that in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed title that is being developed under the Codename Jade, players will get access to the path of “Xia”, one of the adopted children of the master named Wei Yu. Wei Yu happens to be one of the legendary Assassins who was spotted in Assassin’s Creed 2 as a statue in the Monteriggioni Sanctuary.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade is one of the four titles of the AC franchise under development. This list includes Mirage, Codename Red set in Feudal Japan and the Codename Hexe, about which little is known.
As per the rumors and speculations, AC: Codename Jade will transport players to the Qin Dynasty of China. The protagonist would be Xia, a young assassin coming of age as China boomed in trade.
The gameplay is expected to go along the lines of Xia navigating the troubled borders of the Great Wall and the capital city of Xianyang.
This would be accompanied by Xia finding out more about the Assassin’s own history and how they came to be a part of the Assassins. Xia’s personal history also remains largely shrouded by mystery.
However, it is known that they were adopted by Master Assassin Wei Yu, who happens to be a legend in the order’s history because he assassinated the first emperor of China – Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who had ties to the Order of the Ancients.
Wei Yu’s statue was seen under Villa Auditore, accessible in Assassin’s Creed 2. His statue happens to be one of the seven that are found under Villa Auditore.
The seven statues were meant to commemorate the actions of the previous assassins, which were worth remembering.
Ubisoft is keeping up its promise of taking the Assassin’s Creed franchise back to its roots. This was after widespread dissatisfaction with the RPG-esque and less gameplay in AC: Odyssey, Origins and Valhalla.
