Will Ubisoft Try Everything? Will Ezio Auditore Return in Assassin's Creed Hexe?

The Assassin's Creed series looks to the future and, in addition to the possibility of developing a line of remakes, aims to return to the market with a new chapter. Currently in development is Assassin's Creed Hexe, the code name for the next installment in the series. The game is reportedly facing a complicated development phase, with the loss of numerous developers and a launch that may only occur in the second half of 2027. Meanwhile, fans of the series will soon have the opportunity to get their hands on Black Flag Resynced.

Back to the Origins?

Some rumors, which are yet to be confirmed, suggest a possible connection with the early chapters of the Assassin's Creed series and with the character of Ezio Auditore, who remains a true symbol of the franchise.

At this moment, the line between leaks and speculation is very thin. From initial information, it seems that the protagonist of Hexe, named Anika, is a descendant of Claudia Auditore, Ezio's sister who was introduced in Assassin's Creed II in 2009. It is also claimed that Ezio will "return 100%" even though the game will be set at least 100 years after his death.

This situation will need to be monitored over the coming weeks. In any case, leveraging nostalgia and attempting to create a series of callbacks to the major successes of the series could allow Ubisoft to lay the groundwork for a relaunch of Assassin's Creed, initiating a new direction. Further updates may arrive in the coming weeks.
