Assassins Creed Hexe Hopefuls Mark Their Calendars for 28 March
The anticipation for Assassin’s Creed Hexe continues to build in silence. Revealed only by a cryptic teaser years ago, the project promises to be the franchise’s darkest and most distinct entry yet. With official details scarce, the community has begun to rally around a compelling theory for when the veil might finally lift: March 2026, coinciding with Ubisoft’s 40th anniversary.
The speculation, gaining traction on social media, notes that Ubisoft’s founding anniversary on March 28, 2026, presents a perfect milestone for the company to host a major showcase. A dedicated Ubisoft Forward event around this date would be an ideal platform to celebrate four decades of game development with major announcements, with Hexe being a prime candidate.
This theory is fueled by Ubisoft’s recent pattern of skipping summer events like Summer Game Fest, creating a growing appetite for a dedicated digital presentation. Aligning a big reveal with such a significant corporate anniversary is a classic and effective marketing strategy, making the logic behind the fan prediction sound.
While the date remains hopeful speculation, what is known about Hexe fuels the excitement. According to reliable reports, the game will be set in the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire during the witch trials, marking a stark tonal shift toward horror and superstition. Developed by Ubisoft Montréal under creative director Clint Hocking, it is described internally as a very different type of Assassin’s Creed experience.
Beyond this, everything from its gameplay format (action-adventure vs. RPG) to its protagonist remains officially unconfirmed. The community is divided on what direction it should take, but united in its desire for news.
