The Release The upcoming series part is not planned for 2026 anyway – before that, the focus is on the Japan excursion with the code name Red. By the way, both series representatives will most likely appear on the Assassin's Creed Infinity platform planned by Ubisoft.

Assassin's Creed Witch, writes Henderson Insider gaming further, the structure will be based more on the first games. So one awaits you slightly more linear experience, which will only have a few open world elements. As a player you will probably take on the role of Protagonist Elsa Hatch. A male character option is not provided.

In terms of gameplay, things get supernatural: Based on a video presented to him, Henderson says that Elsa is over magical abilities has. In one sequence, she is said to have taken possession of a cat with the help of a magic spell and thus distracted a few soldiers by knocking down a glass bottle.

Fear of witches In addition, Henderson says that there is also a kind Fear system like in the Jack the Ripper DLC from Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. There it was possible to use special gadgets to frighten enemies, which sometimes caused them to flee. Insider Gaming was unable to find out exactly what the system should look like in Assassin's Creed Hexe.

In terms of atmosphere, the action-adventure should be very good dark and serious failed, which is of course obvious given the chosen scenario of a witch hunt. Whether Assassin's Creed Hexe will actually be that different in the end remains to be seen. A revelation can only be expected after the release of Assassin's Creed Red.
