As part of its officialAssassin’s CreedShowcase, Ubisoft releases an official teaser forAssassin’s Creed Hexeand says the trailer is filled with secrets. Indeed, it would seem thatAssassin’s Creeddominated the Ubisoft Forward, revealing a grand total of five games, teasing the Last Chapter DLC forAC Valhalla, and more.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which sees Basim grow from street thief to master assassin, ate up the most time during the showcase, while the hype around theJapan-setAssassin’s Creed Redwas definitely palpable.Assassin’s Creed Hexe, however, may be the most mysterious. Game Rant recently attended a preview event of theACShowcase ahead of Ubisoft Forward, where Hexe definitely managed to impress.

Assassin’s Creed Hexe: A Dark Take on the Franchise
At first glance,Assassin’s Creed Hexe’s trailer doesn’t tease much. It’s set in some incredibly dark and eerie woods, with theAssassin’s Creedlogobeing formed out of wood and branches. There is some symbolism and whatnot scattered throughout the trailer, which may be tied to its secret. According to Ubisoft, there is a secret buried somewhere in this trailer, but it refused to elaborate beyond that. Fans will just need to dive in and see what they can find out, but it’s hard to imagine it’ll take long to decipher. The relevant portion takes place at the 26:00-minute mark below.
Furthermore,Assassin’s Creed Hexeis in development at Ubisoft Montreal led by creative director Clint Hocking. Montreal is essentially the birthplace ofAssassin’s Creed, with Montreal leading multiple projects. Ubisoft Quebec is up there with Montreal, though now working onAssassin’s Creed Red, but together the companies are collaborating on theAssassin’s Creed InfinityProject. BothAssassin’s Creed RedandHexeare part of this project, though theexact nature ofAssassin’s Creed Infinityhas yet to be detailed. It is described as less of a game and more of a hub, and it seems both games will launch viaInfinity, whatever form it takes.
Ultimately,Assassin’s Creed Hexeplays a relatively small part of theACShowcase, but the very essence of its teaser and the dark teases set it up quite nicely. There are many questions, such as its exact setting, its release date, and whether it is an open-world RPG likeAC Valhallaor a moreclassic experience likeAC Mirage, but it definitely makes the future ofACseem a little brighter.
