Progress Update
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe was announced in 2022, but aside from an initial teaser, details remain scarce. Ubisoft has now shared a cryptic clue and a general status report on the project.
In a recent blog post outlining the franchise's future, Ubisoft noted that steady progress is being made on the darker Assassin's Creed experience, though significant work remains ahead.
More concrete updates on the game are expected to arrive in 2027 as the development team remains focused on delivering the project's unique vision.
Cryptic Coded Message
Following the Codename Hexe entry, the blog post included a short coded message for fans to decipher: "ZKLWAVN MBEXNK ULYCNJ... LWY01... I#########F // QNTMAKHX TWTEMZL. YSIZKQ AADSWX NFAAMPHP."
What to Expect
Codename Hexe is expected to follow 2025's Assassin's Creed Shadows as a mainline entry in the franchise. While few details about its setting are official, witchcraft is widely anticipated to be a major theme based on the initial teaser.
Development of the title has seen some internal changes, including staffing shifts earlier in the year involving the departure of the game director and creative director, alongside reports of adjustments to some of the game's elements.
