Assassin’s Creed Hexe leak points to June 2027 launch: but it could still move

The latest leak points to June 2027 as Ubisoft’s current internal target for Assassin’s Creed Hexe. That’s the date on the roadmap for now, if the report is accurate. But it comes with a pretty big caveat: the window is still far from locked and could easily change, so this is better read as a snapshot of Ubisoft’s plans after Assassin’s Creed Shadows, not a promise.

What keeps Hexe interesting is that it still sounds a little different from the recent run of Assassin’s Creed games. The pitch is darker, more story-focused, and more linear than RPG entries like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. That also fits with what Ubisoft seems to be doing lately, switching back and forth between huge open-world releases and smaller, more classic-style games for players who want more stealth and tighter pacing.

Leaks place Hexe in the Holy Roman Empire during the witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries, with particular attention on Würzburg in Germany. They also point to a female lead named Anika, possible Auditore connections that are still speculative, and gameplay that may have moved away from earlier magical ideas in favor of a fear system and reworked parkour. Reports have also linked development at Ubisoft Montreal to changes in the creative director role, which only adds to the feeling that the game’s vision has shifted over time.

If you follow Assassin’s Creed closely, Hexe is definitely one to watch. You can’t download anything yet, though, because Ubisoft still hasn’t confirmed a release window.
