Assassin’s Creed Shadows is making one heck of an impression in its first few weeks. The game has reached more than three million players, according to Ubisoft, making it the second highest debut in the series. It’s managed to maintain a solid critical score among critics, and is absolutely stunning to boot.
But already waiting in the shadowy wings is the immediate sequel to the newest Assassin’s Creed. Tenetively subtitled Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, the game was announced alongside Shadows (then known as Codename Red) during the Ubisoft Forward event way back in 2022 with few details attached. We know that Hexe is set to be a pretty big departure from more recent games in the series, both tonally and in gameplay. But with Shadows rightfully taking the spotlight in the lead up to its release, most players have forgotten about this cryptic tease from almost three years ago.
