Summary
A notableAssassin’s Creedleaker has revealed several interesting details about the upcoming title in the series,Codename Hexe. AlthoughAssassin’s Creed Hexeisn’t expected to release for a long time yet, fans may have their first idea of what to expect thanks to one individual.
Assassin’s Creed Hexewas first announced in late 2022, although details were sparse about the game. With all the series' focus in recent times onAssassin’s CreedShadows, any potential news onHexehas been very limited. Upon its initial announcement, it was confirmed that it was intended to be the next release in the series afterAssassin’s Creed Shadows, although after almost three years, it’s not clear if this remains the case.
As spotted byTheGamer, Ubisoft partner and previous leaker BunnyTheVillain on X has claimed that the upcomingAssassin’s Creed Hexewill feature a “dark, haunting tone,” in which female protagonist Elsa will be “seeking revenge for her mother, who was executed as a witch during the witch trials.” This report lines up with anAssassin’s Creed Hexeleak from around a year ago, where the name Elsa first appeared.
Assassin’s Creed Hexe’s Story May Be Familiar Territory For Series Fans
It’s only a small piece of news and, as with any rumor, it should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, it certainly sounds plausible if the series' past is anything to go by. PreviousAssassin’s Creedstorylineshave often honed in on the idea of a “revenge story,” in which the protagonist takes it upon themselves to right these wrongs over the course of the story. It’s something that has served theAssassin’s Creedfranchise well over the years, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see it return inHexe.
WithAssassin’s Creed Hexeon the way, it could be a very busy period for the series. A recent rumor has suggested thatAssassin’s Creedcould be set to release as many as nine gamesover the next six years, which would be a considerable increase in its activity over recent years. This naturally increases the chance of franchise fatigue, but Ubisoft is seemingly betting big on the strength ofAssassin’s Creed.
