Ezio Auditore may return in the new Assassin’s Creed — leak

The chronological setting of this upcoming installment makes such a bold narrative direction entirely plausible.

Renowned industry insider Tom Henderson recently shared compelling details regarding Assassin’s Creed Hexe, which is positioned as the next major chapter in the franchise. According to his reports, an iconic figure from the series’ past might be poised for a significant return.

It appears that Ezio Auditore da Firenze—the legendary protagonist of the franchise’s most celebrated trilogy—could potentially serve as a mentor to the main character in Assassin’s Creed Hexe.

However, Henderson noted that he remains uncertain whether the specific sequence featuring Ezio has been kept in the game’s final development build.

Beyond these character rumors, the report highlights that Ubisoft is fundamentally overhauling the combat system for Hexe, placing a heavy emphasis on agility and parkour. To achieve a new level of fluid movement, the studio has reportedly enlisted a professional contortionist to assist with motion capture, allowing for more complex and unconventional character animations.
