Assassin’s Creed Hexe finally gives some news and it’s excellent. This discovery should reassure fans but also the most skeptical.
Assassin’s Creed Shadow was undoubtedly one of the biggest cartridges of the year 2025, and the game met with a certain success despite the controversies which destabilized it. Naturally now everyone is interested in Assassin’s Creed Hexe which should be the next game in the license. It would be expected for 2027 according to rumors, that is to say after the post-launch support of AC Shadows which should continue into the year 2026. Hexe is however still very mysterious but news has just fallen and it announces very, very good things.
Great news for Assassin’s Creed Hexe
We don’t know much about Assassin’s Creed Hexe (its code name at the moment) except that it should be the darkest game in the franchise. It is said that it would take place during a period favorable to beliefs and witchcraft. Apparently the game would also be a little less open and should therefore be more focused. In general, it’s a good thing to highlight a slightly more careful and impactful staging.
Assassin’s Creed Hexe should therefore focus more on its atmosphere and immersion and, according to a recent discovery, it could well keep its promises.
Behind this new game, it would indeed be Benoît Richter who would be directing if we are to believe his profile LinkedIn. Does this name mean nothing to you? However, it should reassure you since this dear Mr. Richter is an industry veteran to whom we owe in particular the very cool Batman Arkham Origins, a prequel to the Rocksteady games which was particularly praised for its narration and its dark atmosphere.
The developer is also known for its work on the surprising Transference or even Assassin’s Creed Valhalla at Ubisoft, but also Rainbow Six Siege Vegasexcellent shooters from the 2000s. Assassin’s Creed Hexe would therefore be in good hands, which seems rather reassuring on paper. Ubisoft has been facing multiple crises for years, both social and financial, and is facing big changes with its strategy of division and partial merger with Tencent to form a new center dedicated to strong licenses, of which Assassin’s Creed is precisely a part.
