Til efteråret får vi langt om længe Assassin's Creed Codename Red, der endnu mangler et rigtigt navn, men mange er allerede mere interesserede i det kommende Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, der handler om hekseri og trolddom, og bliver et mere horror-fokuseret spil uden mange af de særpræg der ellers kendetegner serien.
Tom Henderson har nu fundet ud af mere, og via en dybdegående artikel hos Insider-Gaming fortæller han at man spiller som en kvindelig protagonist ved navn Elsa, og at der både er et "Fear"-system, og mange andre sjove ideer:
"Insider Gaming understands that the game is still in a relatively early stage of development and is expected to be released in 2026 on the Infinity platform. Hexe is understood to be a more linear experience compared to its predecessors with some elements of open-world exploration, somewhat akin to some of the earlier Assassin's Creed games. As already reported by Insider Gaming, Hexe is poised to have a single female protagonist, currently named Elsa, who has some supernatural abilities."
Omkring førnævnte Fear-system, så vil det åbenbart drage inspiration fra et lignende system fra Jack the Ripper-udvidelsen til Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
"Sources also outlined that the plan is to have Fear System in the game inspired by the Assassin's Creed Syndicate 'Jack The Ripper' DLC. While the exact details of the system are unknown, it isn't difficult to see how this system, or at least a version of it, can be easily implemented into Hexe. The 16th-century Witch Trials saw up to 80,000 suspected witches executed between 1500 and 1660, so some form of fear system makes sense for the setting."
