Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe is back in the spotlight after several weeks of focus on other projects in the series. A new rumor published by renowned insider Tom Henderson points to important details about its development, including a possible release window and a return that would leave no one indifferent.

As always in these cases, it’s best to remain cautious. There is no official confirmation from Ubisoft, but the source has already been accurate in previous leaks related to the franchise.

Assassin’s Creed Hexe could be released in 2027 and bring back Ezio as a mentor

According to the shared information, the game is expected to be released in late 2027, specifically in the period leading up to the holiday season. This would put it much further away than many expected and suggests that Ubisoft is betting on a prolonged and ambitious development.

• One of the most striking points of the rumor is the possible return of Ezio Auditore da Firenze. This time, he would not be the protagonist, but would serve as a mentor within the story. If confirmed, it would mean the return of one of the most beloved characters in the series.
• Additionally, it is mentioned that the studio is putting special emphasis on animations, even resorting to unusual profiles for motion capture. This could translate into a protagonist with very marked physical abilities and a more developed combat and parkour system.

For now, everything is speculative. If the 2027 window is correct, there is still a long time before Ubisoft shows the project in depth. Meanwhile, the rumor machine will continue to spin around one of the most mysterious chapters in the series.
