Recent leaks have shed more light on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, Ubisoft’s upcoming entry in the long-running Assassin’s Creed franchise. While Ubisoft has yet to reveal many details about the project officially, a new report from X user @AgaiinTx claims to provide information on the game’s pricing, editions, release plans, and gameplay features.
According to the leak, Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe is currently planned for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The title is also expected to receive a PEGI 18 rating, suggesting mature content that aligns with previous reports describing the game as one of the darker entries in the series. The leaker further claims that the game will use Denuvo anti-tamper protection at launch.
The report mentions a June 2027 release date, although many fans believe this could be an internal placeholder rather than a final launch target. Ubisoft has not confirmed any release window for the project.
The leak also outlines the alleged pricing structure for the game:
- Standard Edition – $69.99
- Deluxe Edition – $89.99
- Collector’s Edition – $119.99
- Collector’s Edition is expected to include physical bonus items
Beyond pricing, the leak expands on previously reported story details. The game is said to follow a young girl named Anika during the Würzburg witch trials in Germany in the 1620s. While the narrative is reportedly more linear than recent Assassin’s Creed titles, players may still explore a sizeable environment featuring forests, villages, and other locations connected to the story.
Key gameplay details mentioned in the leak include:
- A darker atmosphere with horror-inspired themes
- Large forest areas and multiple villages to explore
- Increased focus on stealth mechanics
- NPCs reacting more aggressively to outsiders
- Fear-based gameplay elements inspired by Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Jack the Ripper DLC
- Combat influenced by classic Assassin’s Creed titles with refinements
The leaker also claims that some mechanics from the Jack the Ripper expansion will return in a modified form. NPCs may become hostile when spotting suspicious characters, creating additional challenges during stealth sequences. It remains unclear whether these features will be included in the base game or arrive through post-launch content.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe remains one of Ubisoft’s most mysterious projects, and interest in the game continues to grow as new details emerge. Until Ubisoft officially unveils the title and confirms its plans, all leaked information should be treated as speculation. Nevertheless, the latest report suggests that Hexe could offer a different experience from recent Assassin’s Creed releases by combining a darker historical setting with stealth-focused gameplay and horror-inspired elements.
