The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe might’ve been internally delayed by Ubisoft to 2028. While the company has yet to make an official announcement regarding the release of the next mainline Assassin’s Creed game, many suspected it would be released in 2027 – leaving a two-year gap since Shadows, which launched in March 2025. Now it seems fans may have to wait longer.
Insider Gaming recently reported the internal delay for Assassin’s Creed Hexe, briefly mentioning that development had run into some issues and may be moved up to a 2028 release window. The exact “issues” aren’t specified in the report but a previous rumour from reliable leaker NateTheHate claimed Hexe would release in late 2027 “at the earliest.” Ubisoft also hasn’t pinned an exact release date on the project yet or made an official announcement, which may come sometime next year.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe was announced alongside Shadows back in fall 2022 (back then known as Codename Red). “Hexe” appears to still be the working title for the game as Ubisoft hasn’t officially given it a subtitle yet.
Thanks to leaks, we already know a handful of details about what Hexe might be. An MP1st leak last month revealed that the protagonist will be named Petra (previously believed to be Anika). According to the story details, Petra’s mother is accused of witchcraft after failing to cure an illness. Petra’s journey takes her to the location of Augsburg where she encounters the mysterious Order of the Lamb cult, which is likely associated with the Templars.
We recommend taking all leaks with a grain of salt for now until Ubisoft makes an announcement. From what we’ve gathered so far, Hexe will have a greater focus on stealth and using a variety of tools that, while scientific by nature like smoke bombs, could’ve been mistaken for witchcraft back then.
