Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe has reportedly faced another internal delay. Anonymous sources claim that the game's development has encountered further obstacles, with the internal timeline potentially pushed back by about a year, placing its release around 2028. However, Ubisoft has not confirmed this schedule.
Ubisoft announced both Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe and Assassin's Creed Shadows more than four years ago. Currently, the company has only confirmed that the former will be released after Assassin's Creed Shadows, but has not revealed a specific date or shown full gameplay content.
There have also been changes in the project management this year. Original Creative Director Clint Hocking left Ubisoft earlier this year, and Jean Guesdon, who worked on Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Origins, subsequently took over. About two months later, Game Director Benoit Richer also departed.
Meanwhile, renowned leaker j0nathan claims that Ubisoft has two other Assassin's Creed projects in development. Assassin's Creed Codename Mars is reportedly set in ancient Rome and may have ties to an upcoming Netflix series; Assassin's Creed Codename Pocket is said to be set in Jerusalem and positioned as a mobile game.
Information about these three projects comes from different leak sources. The internal delay of Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, the historical setting and connections of Assassin's Creed Codename Mars, as well as the background and platform positioning of Assassin's Creed Codename Pocket, have not yet been confirmed by Ubisoft.
