The Australian looked in good health when he held a press conference in the embassy on Monday morning with Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino.
Assange told journalists "I can confirm I will be leaving the embassy soon" but did not elaborate.
Afterwards WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson made clear the rumours of Mr Assange's imminent departure weren't true.
"The world is not coming to an end," he told reporters inside the embassy.
"The plan (as always) is to leave as soon as the UK government decides to honour its obligations in relation to international agreements."
Mr Hrafnsson said he didn't know where the rumours reported in the British media had come from.
Mr Assange walked into the Ecuadorean embassy on June 19, 2012, and was granted political asylum two months later on August 16.
