Ubisoft's next mainline Assassin's Creed title, reportedly titled Assassin's Creed Hexe, has recently encountered development issues, leading to an internal delay. Previously expected to launch in 2027, the latest information suggests its release target has "likely" been pushed to 2028, though no specific month or quarter has been provided.
The report of this delay originates from Insider Gaming and was subsequently cited by ComicBook. Ubisoft announced the project back in 2022, confirming it would be a major entry in the series following Assassin's Creed Shadows. However, the company has yet to commit to any release window, meaning neither 2027 nor 2028 are official launch dates.
In previous series updates, Ubisoft stated that more information about the game would be revealed in 2027, potentially including its official title and gameplay details. At this stage, all that can be confirmed is that the project is being developed by Ubisoft and remains awaiting further announcements.
Assassin's Creed Hexe is rumored to be set around the time of the European witch trials, with a stronger emphasis on horror elements. The protagonist is said to be female, and some content may be closely tied to Assassin's Creed II. None of these details have been confirmed by Ubisoft, and both the internal delay and the 2028 target still await official verification in future announcements.
