In 2022, Ubisoft shared its plans for the Assassin's Creed series. AC Hexe was one of the games announced as being in development in addition to Red and AC: Mirage. Unfortunately, after its first tease, we haven't heard anything about the upcoming Assassin's Creed entry. But now it seems some new details have leaked online.

The information comes from Insider Gaming, who have received exclusive gameplay footage under the promise that it will not be made public. As it seems, Assassin's Creed Hexe is still relatively early in development and is slated for release in 2026.

This game will launch on the Infinity platform, the rumored live service platform for future Assassin's Creed games. A 2022 Bloomberg report says the game will take place during the Holy Roman Empire in the 16th century and focus on witchcraft. Players will control a single female protagonist named Elsa, who has supernatural abilities.

The in-development footage shared with the site showcases some of Elsa's witchcraft. In the images, German soldiers from the 16th century are chasing the character. To escape them, she owns a cat nearby. Players can then control the cat by smashing glass bottles to distract the soldier's attention. The movie also features a dark and gloomy environment befitting that era, opting for a linear experience similar to the older games.
