Overview
- Recent reporting says Assassin's Creed Hexe has been internally delayed by about a year with a likelier launch now in 2028, a claim sourced to industry insiders and leak outlets and not confirmed by Ubisoft.
- Hexe was first teased by Ubisoft in 2022 and is described as a darker, witch‑tinged mainline title set in the 17th‑century Holy Roman Empire.
- Insider accounts say Hexe's development has faced leadership turnover, including the departures of creative director Clint Hocking and game director Benoit Richer and the later involvement of Jean Guesdon.
- Well‑connected leak sources also named two other codenamed projects — Mars, described as a large‑scale Ancient Rome entry, and Pocket, described as a Jerusalem‑set mobile title — but those projects remain unverified.
- If the reports hold, Ubisoft's push to modernize legacy games and prioritize new mainline and multiplayer work could stretch resources and shift the franchise's release cadence through the end of the decade.
