Saturday, February 28th 2026 Ubisoft Reworks Assassin's Creed Hexe Combat Deep Into Development, 2027 Launch Likely by Cpt.Jank Today, 17:29 Discuss (0 ) Ubisoft has been clear that it is working on "several" new games in the Assassin's Creed franchise. One of those games is Assassin's Creed Hexe, a new open-world AC game that has been in development at Ubisoft Montreal in some form or another since 2022. Now, according to Tom Henderson on the Insider Gaming podcast, the combat for Assassin's Creed Hexe is being reworked, with a contortionist coming in to record the motion capture scenes. He also adds that the game looks to be launching sometime in 2027, despite the combat reworks. Ubisoft Montreal, the studio in charge of Hexe, was also leading the development of the recently cancelled Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, although it seems unlikely that Hexe would be cancelled this late into development, especially since it seems to follow the established Assassin's Creed format rather closely. Recent teasers released by Ubisoft suggest that the new game will feature themes of witchcraft and sorcery, with a distinct horror influence, and it seems like it will be set in Germany. Hexe was being directed by Clint Hocking, of Far Cry 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory fame, but recent changes to Ubisoft's structure resulted in his departure from the company and the project. Despite this, Ubisoft has assured gamers that Hexe has survived the tumultuous reshuffling that has seen so many other projects delayed. However, the news of the reworked combat may mean that it will need more time in the oven than originally intended.
