Assassin's Creed Hexe to Introduce Revolutionary Stealth Mechanics

Ubisoft's upcoming title set in the Holy Roman Empire will feature innovative gameplay, departing from traditional RPG elements.

Assassin's Creed Hexe, slated for a 2026 release, will incorporate a Fear System mechanic inspired by the 'Jack the Ripper' DLC from Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
The game will be hosted on the new Infinity platform, positioning it as the second major release after Codename Red.
Ubisoft aims to refresh the franchise with Hexe's unique setting during the 16th-century Witch Trials and a focus on supernatural abilities.
Critics express concerns over historical inaccuracies and departures from the series' traditional gameplay.
The introduction of stealth elements, such as using animals for distraction, marks a significant shift towards more dynamic and interactive gameplay.
