Unveiling the enigmatic Assassin’s Creed Hexe, this upcoming installment in the beloved franchise captivates with its unique setting during the witch trials of 16th century Germany. Despite being in the relatively early stages of development, exciting details have emerged, hinting at a deviation from the recent role-playing elements introduced in Assassin’s Creed Origins. Instead, Hexe appears to embrace a more linear experience reminiscent of earlier titles in the series, while still incorporating elements of open-world exploration.
Intriguingly, the game centers around a solitary female protagonist named Elsa, who possesses supernatural abilities that grant her the power to control cats. By possessing these felines, players can cleverly distract nearby soldiers or knock over glass bottles to their advantage. There’s also the exciting return of the fear system from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Jack the Ripper DLC, allowing players to instill terror in enemies, causing them to flee or even kill their comrades in a panic.
While a specific release date remains elusive, Assassin’s Creed Hexe is anticipated to grace the Infinity platform sometime in 2026. As we eagerly await more details, fans can speculate about the future of the franchise, particularly whether Hexe and other upcoming titles will continue to embrace role-playing elements or return to the more straightforward action-adventure gameplay of the past. With Ubisoft’s Forward presentation scheduled for June 10, 2024, it’s likely that we’ll gain further insights into the captivating world of Assassin’s Creed Hexe.
