Ubisoft’s recent financial report revealed that several major titles, likely including Assassins Creed Hexe, have been delayed to 2027 or beyond. Surprisingly, instead of frustration, the news has been met with overwhelming support from fans who believe extra development time will lead to a better game.
A Lesson Learned from Shadows
The success of Assassins Creed Shadows—which was delayed multiple times before its March 2025 release—proved that patience pays off. Critics and players praised its refined gameplay and stunning visuals, reinforcing the idea that rushing development rarely benefits a game’s quality.
Now, fans hope Assassins Creed Hexe will follow the same path. Set during the 16th-century witch trials, the game promises a darker, more atmospheric experience than previous Assassin’s Creed entries. Given its ambitious premise, players would rather wait than see it fall short of its potential.
Fan Reactions: “Take Your Time!”
The Assassin’s Creed community has largely embraced the delay:
- “Let them cook.” (Reddit user Herban_Myth)
- *”After *Shadows, I trust Ubisoft to take their time.”
- “Hexe sounds too interesting to mess up.”
Some fans even speculate that Splinter Cell could be among the delayed titles, which would mean more time for that long-awaited revival as well.
What This Means for Hexe
With extra development time, Assassins Creed Hexe could:
- Refine its witch trial-inspired mechanics
- Expand its historical horror elements
- Ensure a smoother launch than past AC games
Given Ubisoft’s recent shift toward quality over quantity, this delay might be the best thing for the franchise.
