Hexe is scheduled to release in June 2027. However, with 50 developers taken off the project, it will likely be delayed to late 2027. The worst-case scenario is that it'll be cancelled, but there currently is no word on that possibility.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Jean Guesdon, who oversees the Assassin’s Creed franchise in Ubisoft, had removed the cat companion feature in Hexe. Instead, the game would focus on witchcraft, with the protagonist specializing in chemicals.

Assassin's Creed Hexe is set in the 16th century, during the Holy Roman Empire. You play as a witch named Elsa, who specializes in using chemicals and alchemy. Compared to other Assassin's Creed games, it's expected to be more linear, focusing on folklore and paranoia.

In other news, Ubisoft recently revealed that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will drop on July 9, 2026. Rumors are currently circulating that a remake of Assassin's Creed 1 will begin development soon after - take this with a grain of salt, as the studio has yet to make a statement on the matter.
