A recent post by a Ubisoft recruiter has provided some insights into Assassin's Creed Hexe, the highly anticipated upcoming title. The announcement of Assassin's Creed Hexe took place during Ubisoft Forward 2022, accompanied by a teaser that gave fans their first glimpse of the game. Although the publisher has yet to reveal any concrete information about the game, a new post from a Ubisoft staff member may shed some light on its potential atmosphere and visual style.
The initial teaser already revealed intriguing aspects of Ubisoft's ambitious project. The tone and imagery suggest that the game will likely adopt a darker approach compared to previous entries in the franchise and may incorporate a witch theme. Interestingly, the codename "Hexe" for the game translates to "witch" in German, leading many fans to speculate that Assassin's Creed Hexe could be set in 16th to 17th century Germany. While Ubisoft has not officially confirmed the game's setting, recently surfaced details seem to support this popular fan theory.
In a recent LinkedIn post, Yara Tabbara, a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Ubisoft Montreal, shared some intriguing details about the upcoming Assassin's Creed game. According to Tabbara, this installment is set to make a significant impact on the beloved franchise. Furthermore, Tabbara responded to a comment, revealing that the game will feature a substantial presence of strong feminine energy. This aligns with the prevailing witch theme apparent in the game's narrative, potentially indicating the inclusion of a female protagonist. While not overtly confirming the widespread rumors, these revelations do lend credence to the notion that Assassin's Creed Hexe will likely be set in late 16th or early 17th century Germany, during the rule of the Holy Roman Empire in mainland Europe.
Of course, it will be intriguing to witness how the witch-themed game aims to make its mark among the numerous upcoming titles in the Assassin's Creed series, such as the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed Mirage, Red, Jade, and Nexus. It is likely that fans will be curious to discover how Assassin's Creed Hexe intertwines with the overarching lore of the franchise. Interestingly, there is speculation that the game might have some ties to the Ezio trilogy, considering the similar time period and European setting. Nonetheless, only time will reveal the true direction in which Assassin's Creed Hexe will evolve.
In addition to developing new entries, Ubisoft is also working on reviving some of its earlier Assassin's Creed games. According to a previous report, Ubisoft is moving ahead with the development of a remake for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, which is currently in its early stages by Ubisoft Singapore. Although it may take a few years before it is released, this could potentially indicate that Ubisoft is considering remaking some of its previous titles. Regardless, it seems that fans can expect a steady stream of Assassin's Creed games in the future.
