Ubisoft Says Assassin’s Creed Hexe Is Progressing, With More News Due in 2027

Ubisoft says Assassin’s Creed Hexe is making progress, but players will have to wait until 2027 for its next major update. The publisher shared the news in its October 29 Assassin’s Creed franchise update. It did not announce a release date, show a new gameplay reveal, or set a launch window for the project.

The message is brief, but it answers one immediate question: Hexe remains part of Ubisoft’s development plans. The team is still working toward the game’s intended direction, and the publisher acknowledges that fans have waited a long time for more information.

The 2027 reference concerns the next major announcement. It should not be read as confirmation that Hexe will arrive next year. Ubisoft’s fall franchise update keeps those two things separate.

Hexe’s darker direction remains the focus

Ubisoft continues to describe Hexe as a darker Assassin’s Creed experience. Its latest comments concentrate on the team’s progress and the project’s creative direction, rather than specific systems, characters, or locations.

That leaves the central details of the game for another presentation. There is no new combat demonstration to assess, no campaign walkthrough, and no explanation of how its missions will work. Fans looking for a clearer picture of the finished game will need the fuller update promised for 2027.

For now, the useful distinction is between the tone Ubisoft has discussed and features it has actually shown. A darker atmosphere does not, by itself, establish a particular combat system or confirm how much freedom players will have. The latest statement does not answer those questions.

It also gives no month or event for the next reveal. There is therefore no confirmed countdown to a trailer or showcase beyond that broad year. Ubisoft says there is still work ahead, leaving the team room to continue development before sharing more.

The wider update explains Ubisoft’s priorities

Hexe appears within a much broader discussion of Assassin’s Creed. Jean Guesdon, the franchise’s head of content, presents the update, which covers games already on sale, projects in development, and plans beyond the games themselves.

Ubisoft says its leadership group, led by Martin Schelling, has spent recent months defining the series’ longer-term direction. The stated priorities include preserving Assassin’s Creed’s identity while improving quality and consistency across different releases.

That discussion provides context for Hexe without revealing its design. Ubisoft wants room for different kinds of Assassin’s Creed experiences. At the same time, it says those projects need a more coherent connection to the series and its fictional history.

Those are aims rather than a demonstration of the results. Players will be able to judge how Hexe fits that approach when Ubisoft shows the game in detail. The October update describes what the publisher wants its teams to achieve, not a finished feature list.

Community feedback is shaping the conversation

Ubisoft also outlines the response to its earlier community survey. Players raised concerns about the series’ identity, the consistency of its storytelling, and the frequency of communication from the development teams.

The publisher says those concerns overlap with discussions already taking place internally. It plans closed-door workshops with community members and creators, alongside another survey that allows a wider group of players to respond.

For readers following Hexe, the important point is that Ubisoft is discussing feedback at franchise level. The update does not say that a particular survey response has become a Hexe feature. It would be premature to turn those broad priorities into claims about the game’s missions or mechanics.

The workshops and surveys are separate from a public gameplay reveal. They may inform development discussions, but the next substantial Hexe news remains on the 2027 timetable.

Invictus is also still in development

The same update addresses Codename Invictus, Ubisoft’s multiplayer Assassin’s Creed project. The publisher says hundreds of players joined a private test of an early prototype and gave feedback directly to its team.

Participants responded well to the movement, map height, team play, and the use of different Assassin’s Creed characters. Ubisoft also says testers wanted the game to reflect more of the features they associate with the series.

The team has spent subsequent months responding to that feedback. Ubisoft describes an evolving project, with further testing still ahead. It also cautions that material circulating online may come from an earlier stage and may no longer reflect the current version.

Invictus and Hexe therefore occupy different parts of the update. One discussion centres on multiplayer testing. The other concerns a darker experience whose next major public showing is still to come. Neither section supplies a release date.

Existing games have firmer dates and features

While the upcoming projects remain largely under wraps, Ubisoft gives more concrete information about games players already own. Black Flag Resynced has received its final planned major content update, with New Game+, Nightmare Mode, rewards, and further customisation.

The publisher says smaller quality-of-life work will continue. The end of the current major-content plan therefore does not mean that every future fix or adjustment has stopped.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla also has a dated addition: New Game+ is due on November 5. Ubisoft says the feature will let players restart Eivor’s journey while retaining much of their progress. It also lists new progression options, runes, rewards, and a stash system.

Those announcements have clearer immediate implications than the Hexe statement. Valhalla players have a date to watch, while Black Flag Resynced players have an update to explore. Hexe fans have confirmation of continued work and a year for the next major news.

No further remake is currently in active development

Ubisoft also addresses speculation about additional remakes. It says no other Assassin’s Creed remake is actively in development at present. The publisher leaves open the possibility of revisiting older games later, but that is different from announcing a current project.

Elsewhere, it says production on the live-action Netflix series is nearing completion in Rome. No release date accompanies that update. Ubisoft is also preparing celebrations for Assassin’s Creed’s twentieth anniversary in 2027.

The anniversary plans include future announcements and community activities, but Ubisoft does not tie Hexe’s next update to a specific celebration. Until it supplies that detail, the confirmed position remains simple: development continues, the next major Hexe update is due in 2027, and its release date remains unannounced.
