Assassin's Creed Jade gameplay hits the web as closed beta begins

Assassin's Creed Jade gameplay has leaked, and not for the first time.

The start of the Assassin's Creed Jade closed beta test is here, giving players a chance to check out the mobile game early before release. It took just a few hours for gameplay to appear online from the closed beta test, even though participants likely would've signed documents prohibiting them from doing this.

It's all pretty standard stuff, truth be told. The ResetEra thread points out that the voice actor for Jade's protagonist sounds a little inexperienced with certain Chinese words - Jade is set in feudal China, in case you didn't know - and it's a sentiment that several others in the ResetEra thread agree with.

When Assassin's Creed Jade gameplay first leaked late last year in December, it was footage that looked to be from an early build, and not entirely representative of the final game. Nearly nine months later, the version of Jade we're seeing now looks a lot closer to what you'd expect from a final release.
