Ubisoft has revealed that multiple new titles in the Assassin's Creed series are in development. Following the official release of Assassin's Creed: Codename Red, the reviews will let players judge for themselves. The next title, "Hexe," is being developed by the Montreal studio, with Darby McDevitt as the lead writer and Clint Hocking as the game director. The game is set in the 16th century Holy Roman Empire, during the backdrop of witch trials, and is expected to be the darkest installment in the series, possibly leaning towards linear content. The protagonist is likely a witch named Elsa, and the game is expected to launch in 2026, with more news anticipated to be announced later this year.

Recently, Ubisoft mentioned that several new titles in the Assassin's Creed series are under development, among which Assassin's Creed: Codename Red has finally been officially released after several setbacks, and the specific evaluation is up to the players to judge. What kind of game is the upcoming title "Hexe"? Here’s a brief summary to jog everyone’s memory.

• Assassin's Creed: Codename Red achieved the second-best launch sales in the series, with PC platform sales accounting for 27% of total sales.
• Hideki Kamiya expressed sadness over the criticism targeting Assassin's Creed: Codename Red, believing that most casual players simply choose to remain silent.
• Ubisoft announced gratitude to players for their support and passion, feeling honored by the positive feedback from players around the world.

The code name for the next new title in the Assassin's Creed series is "Hexe," which means "witch" in German, and it was unveiled at the Ubisoft Forward event back in 2022. This title is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, which previously released Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, selling over 20 million copies.

The lead writer for this project is Darby McDevitt, who has contributed to the narratives of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. The game director is Clint Hocking, who has worked on Watch Dogs: Legion, Far Cry 2, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Currently, not much information about the game has been disclosed officially, but it's rumored to be set in the Holy Roman Empire during the 16th century, amidst the widespread "witch hunts," potentially becoming the darkest installment in the series, with a focus on a linear narrative rather than the open-world exploration of previous titles.

The protagonist has not been revealed yet; according to reports from foreign media, it could be a witch named Elsa. An unpublished gameplay demo showed Elsa being pursued and using her witchcraft to possess a cat to distract the guards.

Assassin's Creed Hexe is expected to be officially released in 2026, with more news or an official trailer anticipated to be revealed later this year.
