Assassin’s Creed Hexe Reportedly Slips to 2028 as Two Unannounced Games Leak

Assassin’s Creed Hexe, Ubisoft’s long-teased witchcraft-flavored entry in the franchise, has reportedly been pushed from a planned 2027 release to 2028. The claim arrives alongside leaks about two other unannounced games in the series. None of it has been confirmed by Ubisoft, so all of it should be read as unverified.

What the reports say about Assassin’s Creed Hexe

According to Insider Gaming, the internal target for Assassin’s Creed Hexe has moved back a full year. The outlet says the project’s development “had issues,” including the departure of several high-level developers from Ubisoft while the game was in production. Hexe was first teased in 2022 and is meant to have a more magical tone, set in the Holy Roman Empire during the 17th century. Ubisoft has said it will share more next year, but the public has yet to see the game in action.

That long silence helps explain why a delay report feels plausible to many fans, though the sources give no official explanation and no new date from the publisher.

Two new Assassin’s Creed leaks

The delay story landed just after Ubisoft insider j0nathan posted a YouTube video on Nov. 6 teasing two more games. The first, codenamed Mars, is described as a traditional Assassin’s Creed adventure set in Ancient Rome. That is the same era as the franchise’s upcoming Netflix adaptation. The second, Assassin’s Creed Pocket, is a mobile game inspired by the Mastery Challenges in Valhalla and set in Jerusalem.

Insider Gaming said the next day that it had heard of projects with similar codenames. It said it could not verify them well enough to report on them first. What it did verify was the Hexe schedule change, and it added a longer-range estimate: Mars likely wouldn’t be released, or even revealed, until 2029 or 2030 at the earliest.

What it means for the series

If the reports are accurate, the rest of the decade looks busy but back-loaded. A mobile spin-off and a return to Rome would sit alongside a Hexe launch that arrives later than expected. Players would then have a long wait for the next mainline-style release. For now, the current release on the calendar is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, which is already out.

Ubisoft has not publicly addressed the leaked codenames or the Hexe timing in the material reviewed here. Until the company says more, the safest reading is that Assassin’s Creed Hexe is still in development, the 2028 window comes from sources rather than an announcement, and the Rome and Jerusalem projects remain rumors.
