What to expect
Assassin's Creed Hexe is the next flagship Assassin's Creed title, set during the Holy Roman Empire's 16th-century witch trials. Ubisoft is pitching a darker, more intimate chapter of the franchise with a female protagonist tied to the occult.
Built on the same Anvil engine technology powering Assassin's Creed Shadows, Hexe promises a moody, atmospheric take on the Brotherhood's war against the Templars — with horror-tinged visuals and a story built around persecution, secrecy and survival.
