Assassin's Creed Hexe is an upcoming game from Ubisoft expected to launch in 2027. The game features a witchcraft-inspired story set during the 1625 Würzburg witch trials in Germany, with forested areas to explore [1, 2].
The protagonist is a woman named Anika who is on the run from people accusing her of practicing witchcraft. The game adopts a darker, horror-inspired tone with survival stealth elements as Anika navigates these dangers [2].
Anika has mentor figures who guide her on her journey. One is an older Assassin named Wolfgang, while another is the series’ iconic character Ezio Auditore. Sources differ on Ezio’s role: he reportedly appears as a non-physical presence through an Isu recording or memory disc [1], but also as a direct mentor speaking with Anika, telling her, “Come. Leap with me. One last time for an old man” [2].
Gameplay will include stealth, exploration, climbing, and skill trees focused on abilities like tree-to-tree jumping. Missions involve finding ritual sites and recovering stolen relics, blending classic Assassin's Creed mechanics with the new supernatural themes [2].
The game currently goes by the codename Hexe, with a final title expected to be announced later by Ubisoft. Creative director Clint Hocking left the project in early 2026 [2].
The first alleged screenshot of Assassin's Creed Hexe leaked on May 14, 2026, generating further interest ahead of the planned 2027 release [1].
