Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe rumors

While unconfirmed, a 2022 Bloomberg report revealed that Hexe is “set during the latter stages of the Holy Roman Empire and revolves around witch trials.” Details from Insider Gaming corroborate as much, given that gameplay footage sent to the publication shows the reported female protagonist, Elsa, “being hunted by 16th-century German soldiers.”

The footage additionally depicts the character relying on her supernatural gifts to possess a cat, which the player can control and use as a distraction. Notably, the tactic involves the feline knocking over a glass bottle to redirect the attention of the searching soldiers.

Insider Gaming further stated the video it received revolved around a “dark and gloomy setting” along a city’s cobblestone streets.

Other information from the outlet’s reporting allege Codename Hexe will offer more of a linear experience laden with “some elements of open-world exploration.” This suggests Hexe will bear more in common with earlier AC installments, though the specifics remain under lock and key.

Reportedly, Codename Hexe will also include a Fear System inspired by AC: Syndicate’s Jack the Ripper DLC. The system worked such that protagonists Jack and Evie Frye could instill varying degrees of terror in their foes, with the help of tools like Fear Bombs. It’s not currently known how this feature will be applied to Hexe.
