Assassins Creed Hexe May Already Be Connected to Shadows
The future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise is shrouded in mystery, with the dark and intriguing Project Hexe standing as one of its most anticipated chapters. While details are scarce, a clue to its place in the overall saga may have been hiding in plain sight within the most recent game, Assassin’s Shadows.
In a recent interview, a Ubisoft developer shed light on a new system called the Animus Hub. This feature, found in Shadows, is designed to progress the modern-day narrative that connects all the games. More importantly, it’s built to last.
Associate Game Director Simon Lemay-Comtois explained that the Animus Hub is “overlooking future games as well. It’s not just a Shadows thing.” This strongly suggests that the narrative groundwork laid in Shadows is intended to directly feed into upcoming titles.
The most logical candidate for this ongoing story is Assassin’s Creed Hexe. Rumored to be set during the witch trials in the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire, Hexe represents a dramatic tonal shift for the series. The Animus Hub could serve as the crucial connective tissue, explaining how and why modern-day characters are reliving this particular dark period of history.
