Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed Hexe may not arrive until 2028, according to a new report detailing the game’s development progress. The title was previously expected to launch sometime in 2027, but sources familiar with the project have reportedly indicated that Ubisoft has pushed its internal release target back by another year.
According to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, sources told the publication as recently as October that Assassin’s Creed Hexe had encountered development issues, resulting in the reported delay. The information appeared in a larger report covering two unannounced projects in the franchise, including an Ancient Rome-themed game currently known by its codename, Mars.
Ubisoft first announced Assassin’s Creed Hexe in 2022, but details about its gameplay and release schedule have remained limited. Earlier reports suggested that the game could launch in June 2027, while industry insider NateTheHate previously indicated that it would not arrive before the second half of 2027. The latest report now raises the possibility of a 2028 release.
Development has reportedly faced several challenges over the past year. In February, reports claimed that Ubisoft Montreal was reworking the combat system relatively late in production. Around 50 developers were also reportedly reassigned from the project several months later. However, the exact issues behind the latest reported delay have not been disclosed.
Ubisoft’s most recent official comments came during its Fall 2026 Assassin’s Creed franchise update in late October. The publisher said that Hexe was making steady progress but acknowledged that there was still work ahead. Ubisoft also promised another major update in 2027, although it did not provide a release window.
For now, the reported 2028 launch target remains unconfirmed. Ubisoft has not officially announced a release date for Assassin’s Creed Hexe, so the game could still arrive earlier or later depending on its development progress.
