Development[]

Originally not conceived as a trilogy, on 22 February 2021, through marketing of the English translation of the first novel, it was revealed through a press release by Aconyte Books and Ubisoft that The Ming Storm was the first novel of a non-canon trilogy starring Shao Jun. The English version is being translated by Nikki Kopelman.^[1] On 21 April 2021, Head of Assassin's Creed content Aymar Azaïzia confirmed once again that The Ming Storm was non-canon.^[2]
