The anticipation surrounding Assassin's Creed Hexe is palpable within Ubisoft, with reports indicating that "everyone at Ubisoft" is eager to contribute to this project. This enthusiasm stems from early impressions of the game, which is expected to mark a return to a more focused narrative approach, contrasting with the expansive RPG-style formats seen in recent titles like Valhalla.
Despite some concerns following the departure of creative director Clint Hocking, Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson reassures fans that development is progressing well, and that Hexe is shaping up to be a standout title for the company. The game is rumored to be set in 16th century Germany during the witch trials, featuring a protagonist with supernatural abilities, which could introduce unique gameplay elements reminiscent of previous titles.
Ubisoft has promised that Hexe will offer a distinct experience within the Assassin's Creed franchise, with expectations for a gameplay reveal still pending. However, the release is not expected until 2027, after the anticipated Black Flag remake and Invictus multiplayer spin-off.
