Ubisoft Shares Cryptic Assassins Creed Codename Hexe Update
Ubisoft has provided an update on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, the next major entry in the long-running stealth franchise that was first announced in 2022. In a recent blog post outlining the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, the company revealed that Codename Hexe is being developed as a “darker Assassin’s Creed experience,” marking a potential shift in tone for the series.
While the update is intentionally cryptic, Ubisoft confirmed that the studio has been making “steady progress” on the project, though significant work remains. The company also shared an encoded clue related to the game, inviting fans to decode additional information themselves. Beyond this teaser, details remain sparse nearly four years after the game’s initial announcement.
The update comes following recent leadership changes within Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed division. The company used its blog post to discuss how the restructured team plans to engage with the community, manage current game updates, and oversee multiple projects in development—including Codename Hexe alongside other initiatives like Assassin’s Creed Invictus and planned franchise remakes.
Looking ahead, Ubisoft has indicated that the next substantial update on Codename Hexe will arrive in 2027, meaning fans will likely have to wait at least another year for more concrete information about the game’s features, release date, or gameplay direction.
