Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Hexe has reportedly been delayed until 2028, while a separate leak suggests the company may be developing another Assassin's Creed game set in Ancient Rome.
According to insider Tom Henderson, Hexe has been pushed back internally by approximately one year. Previous reports suggested a June 2027 release, although that date was never officially confirmed.
Meanwhile, French leaker j0nathan claims that Ubisoft has an unannounced project codenamed Mars in its internal database.
The project is reportedly set in Ancient Rome and could potentially feature Aya, a major character from Assassin's Creed Origins.
However, Ubisoft has not confirmed the existence of Codename Mars, its setting or any connection to Aya.
Assassin's Creed Hexe May Launch in 2028 Instead of 2027
Assassin's Creed Hexe was previously expected to arrive in 2027, but the latest information suggests its development schedule has changed.
The game is reportedly set during the European witch hunts and could feature a protagonist named Anika.
Earlier rumors also suggested that Anika might be a descendant of Claudia Auditore, the sister of Ezio Auditore.
Unlike the larger roleplaying experiences introduced in Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla and Shadows, Hexe is expected to offer a more traditional Assassin's Creed structure closer to Mirage.
Ubisoft has confirmed plans to reveal more information about Hexe in 2027, although it has not announced an official release date.
Codename Mars Could Bring Assassin's Creed Back to Ancient Rome
The second leak concerns an apparently unannounced project called Codename Mars.
According to j0nathan, one source confirmed that the project exists in Ubisoft's internal database, while another indicated that it takes place in Ancient Rome.
The leaker suggested three possible directions for the game.
One possibility involves a connection to the upcoming Assassin's Creed television series, which is set in Rome during Emperor Nero's reign in 64 AD.
Another possibility is a continuation of Aya's story following the events of Assassin's Creed Origins.
This version could explore Rome after Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, including political conflicts surrounding the rise of Augustus.
Aya, later known as Amunet, is already an established figure in Assassin's Creed history, making a continuation of her story a plausible direction.
The third possibility is a standalone Roman adventure featuring entirely different characters.
These remain speculative interpretations rather than confirmed story details.
Ubisoft May Also Be Developing a Jerusalem Mobile Game
The same leak mentions another project, reportedly codenamed Pocket, which could be a mobile Assassin's Creed game set in Jerusalem.
However, its existence and setting have not been independently verified.
Previous Ubisoft projects have also been canceled after appearing in internal development materials, so the reported codenames do not guarantee eventual releases.
For now, Hexe remains the only officially announced game among these projects.
Ubisoft is expected to share additional information about Hexe in 2027, while its rumored Ancient Rome and Jerusalem projects remain unconfirmed.
