Assassins Creed Hexe’s Future
Ubisoft’s recent wave of project cancellations has left the gaming community uneasy, with attention now turning to the future of one of its most anticipated titles: Assassins Creed Hexe. Following the high-profile cancellation of the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and the reported shelving of an ambitious multiplayer project known as AC League, fans are understandably questioning which projects are truly secure.
Assassin’s Creed Hexe, set during the fearsome era of the Salem witch trials, promises a darker, more supernatural take on the franchise. Its unique setting has generated significant excitement. However, Ubisoft’s current strategy of aggressive portfolio refinement, aimed at ensuring only the most viable “bangers” see release, inevitably casts a shadow of doubt. If a nearly complete Prince of Persia remake can be cut, what does that mean for a game still deep in development?
The cancellation of AC League is particularly noteworthy. Reportedly conceived as a multiplayer spin-off or expansion set in Feudal Japan, the project was deemed too ambitious or misaligned with current priorities. This decision reflects a studio in the midst of a major correction, intensely scrutinizing every project’s potential.
Paradoxically, this environment of cuts could ultimately benefit Hexe. By eliminating projects that are off-strategy or resource-intensive, Ubisoft can concentrate talent, budget, and development focus on its flagship next mainline entry. Fewer concurrent projects mean a greater chance for Hexe to receive the polish and creative attention it needs to meet high expectations. This streamlining suggests Ubisoft is betting big on Hexe to be a cornerstone of its comeback.

The studio’s future credibility may well depend on delivering a polished, unforgettable experience with this dark and promising chapter.
