New Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe Details Shared By Ubisoft Leaker

Despite being announced in 2022, Ubisoft is still developing the next mainline Assassin’s Creed title—Codename Hexe—and the game’s production has been shaky over the past few months due to the departure of several key people working on the game.

Specifically, Assassin’s Creed Codename recently lost its creative director, Clint Hocking, as well as level design director and game director—Luc Couture and Benoit Richer, respectively. The position of creative director now belongs to Jean Guesdon, who was also appointed as the new head of content of Assassin’s Creed this February. It is rumored that thanks to his appointment to the position, Codename Hexe has noticeably transformed, and magical elements were removed from the game in favor of making the game more realistic and grounded.

Now, the new details from Ubisoft leaker Rogue about Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe were shared (via Reddit). Specifically, he confirmed previous rumors that Ezio Auditore might be involved in the project in some way, and he also revealed the protagonist’s name and which locations will appear in the game.
