Something wicked this way comes, and maybe something stealthy. Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe is one of the next upcoming Ubisoft games on the horizon after Black Flag Resynched, and if the latest leaks turn out to be true, it might be the game I’ve dreamt of for a decade.
According to a "prominent" Ubisoft insider on Reddit, Hexe will allegedly be set in the medieval German town of Würzberg. It's an incredibly ambitious move, if true, possibly delivering the first single-location RPG the franchise has ever seen. 2023's Assassin's Creed Mirage gave us a taste of classic city-stealth Creed back in action, something I adored about Unity and Syndicate and mourned the loss of when Ubisoft widened its scope for the RPGs entries shortly after. With massive renditions of ancient Egypt, a Viking Britain, and the Greek islands during the Peloponnesian War, these games still amount to some of the best third-person RPGs ever – but sprawl leaves no shadow to hide in.
