Assassin’s Creed Hexe: Everything Leaked and Confirmed So Far

Assassin’s Creed Hexe has gone quiet on the official front, but leakers won’t let it rest. Ubisoft’s next flagship entry in the stealth franchise hasn’t had a proper reveal since its brief 2022 teaser, yet a wave of recent leaks claims to detail everything from pricing to release timing. Here’s what’s actually confirmed by Ubisoft, and what’s still just rumor.

Assassin’s Creed Hexe – What We Know

Ubisoft first revealed the game, under that codename, at Ubisoft Forward in September 2022 with a moody teaser showing a stick-built Assassin insignia hanging from a tree. Ubisoft Montreal, the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Assassin’s Creed Origins, is developing the game.

In an official blog post titled “Assassin’s Creed: Into 2026,” head of content Jean Guesdon confirmed the studio is working on a darker, narrative-driven Assassin’s Creed experience set during a pivotal moment in history, without naming a specific setting or date.

Beyond that official confirmation, almost everything else circulating about Hexe comes from leaks, not Ubisoft announcements, so it’s worth keeping that distinction in mind as you read the rest of this.

Insider Rogue posted an in-development screenshot in July showing what file labels described as a cathedral modeled on Würzburg, Germany, feeding long-running rumors that the game centers on the German witch trials of the Holy Roman Empire era. The same leaker later claimed the game follows a female protagonist named Anika, after earlier rumors had pointed to a different name entirely.

What This Means for Assassin’s Creed Fans

If the leaks hold up, Hexe would mark a real shift in direction for the series, though every detail here should be treated as unverified leak information rather than confirmed fact, since Ubisoft hasn’t corroborated any of it.

Rogue’s reports describe the game moving away from the open-world RPG systems seen in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, returning instead to a more linear structure split across three connected zones: dense forest, scattered villages, and larger towns.

The same leaks claim a returning fear-based mechanic reminiscent of the Jack the Ripper DLC from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, letting players use tools to frighten enemy NPCs rather than fight them head-on.

Reports on Hexe’s magic system have flip-flopped repeatedly, too, with one leak claiming supernatural abilities were cut, then a later leak from the same source cryptically suggesting magic “returned in another form.” Fans are best off waiting for actual gameplay footage before assuming either version is accurate.

What’s Next for Assassin’s Creed Hexe

Multiple leak-focused outlets have converged on a possible June 2027 launch window, tied to Ubisoft’s FY 2025/2026 earnings call comments about upcoming releases. That said, the leaker behind the date has repeatedly cautioned it’s an internal target that could still change, and Ubisoft has not confirmed any release window on its own.

Many fans are hoping for a proper look at Hexe during Gamescom 2026, though Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed the game will appear there either, so this is a good moment to check back for updates rather than assume a reveal is locked in.
