Assassin’s Creed Hexe Reportedly Delayed as New Games Leak

Reports about the Assassin’s Creed series surfaced last week, offering a clearer picture of Ubisoft’s plans for the rest of the decade. Two games were reported for the first time, while development on Assassin’s Creed Hexe appears to be taking longer than expected.

What new Assassin’s Creed games are in the works?

On Nov. 6, Ubisoft insider j0nathan posted a YouTube video teasing two new Assassin’s Creed games. One, codenamed Mars, is reportedly a traditional series entry set in Ancient Rome, the same era as the upcoming Netflix adaptation. The other, Assassin’s Creed Pocket, is a mobile game inspired by Valhalla’s Mastery Challenges and set in Jerusalem.

Insider Gaming followed up the next day, saying it had heard of games with similar codenames but could not verify the projects well enough to report on them. The outlet did share more information about Assassin’s Creed Hexe: the game had been expected in 2027, but its release has been pushed internally to 2028.

Ubisoft first teased Assassin’s Creed Hexe in 2022. The game is expected to have a more magical tone and take place in the 17th-century Holy Roman Empire. Ubisoft has promised to reveal more about it next year, but the game has not yet been shown in action.

According to Insider Gaming, development on Hexe “had issues,” and several high-level developers left Ubisoft during its development. The outlet does not expect the game to launch before 2028. It also reports that Mars is unlikely to be released or even revealed before 2029 or 2030 at the earliest.

For now, players can turn to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
