Assassin’s Creed Hexe Delay: Reportedly Pushed to 2028
The Assassin’s Creed Hexe delay is reportedly real. Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson says Ubisoft has internally pushed the game back another year, making 2028 the likely release window, according to reports published around November 8, 2026. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed the delay and has never announced a release date for Hexe.
The reports also claim two more Assassin’s Creed games are in development.
What the Reports Say
Henderson’s sources said as recently as October that Hexe “has had issues” and was delayed internally by a year. That would move it past 2027, the year many fans expected, partly because 2027 is the franchise’s 20th anniversary.
The claim follows an earlier prediction. Insider NateTheHate said months ago that Hexe wouldn’t arrive before the second half of 2027, so the new timeline pushes that estimate back further.
What Ubisoft Has Said
Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Fall 2026 update on October 29 said the team is making steady progress on a darker Assassin’s Creed, with work still ahead. It promised the next major Hexe update in 2027. The update said nothing about a release date. Hexe is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5, and it was announced alongside Assassin’s Creed Shadows more than four years ago.
A Turbulent Development
The project has lost key leaders. Creative director Clint Hocking left the company in February 2026, and Jean Guesdon, who led Black Flag and Origins, took over. Game director Benoit Richer left roughly two months later.
Leakers describe Hexe as set during the European witch hunts, with a more traditional structure closer to Assassin’s Creed Mirage than the sprawling RPG-style entries. One rumor names the protagonist Anika, supposedly a descendant of Ezio’s sister Claudia. None of that is confirmed.
Two More Games Rumored
French leaker j0nathan claims Ubisoft is also developing Codename Mars, a mainline game set in Ancient Rome, and Codename Pocket, a mobile game set in Jerusalem. A TV series is also reportedly tied to the games. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed any of this, and it has said no more Assassin’s Creed remakes are in active development.
The reports come as Ubisoft enjoys the success of Shadows and Black Flag Resynced, which makes a long gap before the next mainline release notable.
