New Rumor Sheds Light on Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe Release Date

Prominent insider NateTheHate has revealed that Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe is highly unlikely to launch before the second half of 2027. According to his sources, Ubisoft is intentionally taking its time with the project, and gamers shouldn't expect any major gameplay showcases or official updates anytime soon.

Initially unveiled during a 2022 franchise roadmap event, Hexe has remained shrouded in mystery, making any new crumb of information a hot topic for fans. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the game is set against the dark and atmospheric backdrop of the 16th-to-17th-century witch trials within the Holy Roman Empire.

In a major departure from the massive open-world RPG formula seen in recent entries, Hexe is heavily rumored to deliver a more focused, linear narrative deeply rooted in survival and stealth.

This timeline aligns with previous leaks from insider AgaiinTx, who stated that Ubisoft is targeting a 2027 release window as part of its long-term brand strategy. He also noted that the game will feature a solo female protagonist and a return to the classic parkour mechanics of the original titles.

In related franchise news, the first behind-the-scenes set photos from Netflix's upcoming live-action Assassin's Creed series recently leaked online, showcasing ancient Roman environments. Additionally, Ubisoft announced that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the full-scale remake of the beloved pirate adventure, has officially crossed the three million copies sold milestone.
