Ubisoft’s long-teased Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe—now widely rumored as Assassin’s Creed Hexe—is shaping up to be the most shadowy chapter in the blockbuster franchise’s 18-year history. With fresh leaks spilling gameplay footage, plot details, and supernatural twists set against the brutal backdrop of 16th-century European witch trials, fans are buzzing about whether this will reinvigorate the series or veer too far into horror territory.

First unveiled in a cryptic 2022 teaser at Ubisoft Forward, Hexe (German for “witch”) dropped hints of occult themes through shadowy forests, pentagrams, and eerie runes. Ubisoft Montreal, the studio behind hits like Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and the modern-day narrative of Revelations, is at the helm. Executive producer Marc-Alexis Côté has called it “very different,” while art director Yara Tabbara teased “strong feminine energy” and a project designed to “leave a lasting mark on the franchise.”

The leaks, first surfacing in April 2024 via Insider Gaming and corroborated by journalist Tom Henderson, paint a picture of a revenge-fueled tale amid the Holy Roman Empire’s infamous witch hunts. Between 1500 and 1660, an estimated 80,000 people—mostly women—were executed across Europe on charges of sorcery, fueled by religious fervor, superstition, and texts like the Malleus Maleficarum. Germany, the likely focal point given “Hexe”‘s etymology from Old High German “hagazussa” (hedge witch), saw some of the bloodiest persecutions, with cities like Bamberg and Würzburg turning into pyre-lit nightmares.

At the center is Elsa, a lone female protagonist with supernatural abilities. Leaks claim her story kicks off with a classic Assassin’s Creed trope: vengeance. Her mother is torched as a witch, propelling Elsa into a “dark, haunting” odyssey against inquisitors and Templar-like oppressors. Critics of the plot call it “disappointing” for recycling the “dead mom” motivator seen in games like Origins and Shadows, but proponents argue the witch-trial context could elevate it into something fresh and visceral.

Gameplay footage described by insiders depicts Elsa evading 16th-century German soldiers in foggy, cobblestone streets. In one sequence, she casts a spell to possess a stray cat, which players control to topple a bottle and create a diversion—echoing stealth mechanics from Syndicate‘s Jack the Ripper DLC but infused with mysticism. A “fear system” is rumored, where Elsa’s presence or spells induce panic in enemies, altering AI behavior and environmental interactions. This aligns with Ubisoft’s pivot away from bloated RPGs like Valhalla (100+ hours) toward a tighter, 15-20 hour experience: more linear hubs with semi-open exploration, akin to the Ezio trilogy or Mirage.

The shift marks Ubisoft’s response to fan fatigue with endless open worlds. Henderson confirmed Hexe as a “smaller title” launching on the Assassin’s Creed Infinity hub—a Netflix-style platform for live-service elements across titles. No massive loot grinds or ship-sailing here; instead, survival-horror vibes, occult symbolism (hidden trailer clues point to Mephisto, the demon from Goethe’s Faust), and Germanic folklore. Darby McDevitt, scribe of Ezio’s saga and Shadows‘ modern arc, pens the script, raising hopes for narrative depth amid the dread.

Release speculation clusters around 2026-2027, post-Shadows support and potentially ahead of a Black Flag remake. Delays loom, as Hexe was “relatively early” in development last year, and Ubisoft’s restructuring post-Shadows controversy (historical accuracy debates over Yasuke) could shuffle priorities. X (formerly Twitter) erupts with hype: “HELLA DOPE” for cat-possession stealth, but skeptics decry “another revenge plot” or fear “woke witch covens.”

Ubisoft’s track record adds intrigue. Mirage (2023) ditched RPG excess for parkour purity, earning praise; Shadows (2025) doubled down on dual protagonists but faced backlash. Hexe could bridge eras: stealth-assassin roots with Isu mysticism amplified into spells. Yet risks abound—supernatural powers might dilute the Templar-Assassin creed, and witch hunts demand sensitivity to real atrocities.

Fan concepts flood YouTube: gothic cathedrals, demon pacts, Elsa as a “Yennefer-like” sorceress-assassin. X threads speculate Auditore ties or Infinity crossovers. Leaker “BunnyTheVillain,” a Ubisoft partner, recently reiterated the “haunting” plot, fueling viral clips.

As The Game Awards nears, whispers of a reveal persist, though recent statue teases point elsewhere. Ubisoft stays mum, but with Shadows live-service DLC winding down, eyes turn to Hexe as the franchise’s potential savior—or curse. Will Elsa’s broomstick sweep away bloat, or ignite another backlash pyre? Only time, and more leaks, will tell.
