Ubisoft’s leak-a-thon continues with a dump of Assassin’s Creed Hexe info that hints at the return of a familiar ‘old man’
Ubisoft has been hit with another significant leak, this time revealing details about Assassin’s Creed Hexe, an upcoming installment in the long-running franchise. The leak, shared by a well-known Ubisoft leaker known as “Rogue” and compiled on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, provides substantial information about the game’s historical setting and tone.
According to the leaked information, Assassin’s Creed Hexe will be set in Würzburg, Germany during the witch trials of 1625. The game is expected to focus primarily on this location, though surrounding areas will also be available for exploration. This setting aligns with Ubisoft’s official description of Hexe as a “darker” installment compared to recent entries in the series.
The leak represents another instance in a pattern of unofficial information reaching the public about Ubisoft’s upcoming projects, raising ongoing questions about the company’s data security practices. However, the leaked information does not include a release date for the game, leaving fans without a concrete timeline for launch.
The choice of the 1625 witch trials period suggests the developers are exploring darker historical subject matter, consistent with the game’s official characterization. The leak also hints at the return of a familiar character, though specific details remain unclear. Assassin’s Creed Hexe continues the franchise’s tradition of pairing historical settings with its established science-fiction narrative framework.
