Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe may not launch until the second half of 2027 at the earliest, according to industry insider NateTheHate. If accurate, this suggests Ubisoft is unlikely to announce the next mainline game soon, despite it being intended to follow Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Hexe remains largely unknown, though it is reportedly set in medieval Europe and involves witchcraft, with Ubisoft previously describing it as a notably different kind of Assassin’s Creed game. Its development has seen several senior departures, while Ubisoft and Tencent have created Vantage Studios to oversee major franchises; meanwhile, Black Flag Resynced reportedly sold more than 3.5 million copies in two weeks.
