Given the recent success of both Assassin's Creed Shadows and Black Flag: Resynced, Assassin's Creed Hexe is becoming a reasonably hotly anticipated game. While previous rumors indicated that Hexe may launch in June 2027, despite some development setbacks, new rumors suggest a later launch date is likely.

According to NateTheHate2 on X, a well-known gaming industry leaker and insider, Assassin's Creed Hexe "won't launch until second half of 2027, at earliest." His reasoning doesn't appear to be based on any concrete information, but it stands to reason that Ubisoft would not need to launch a new mainline Assassin's Creed game just yet, because Shadows is hardly a year old and won't even be two years old by June 2027.

Assassin's Creed Hexe, which will supposedly see the return of fan-favorite Ezio as a mentor figure, isn't the only Assassin's Creed project Ubisoft is working on. Allegedly, the game studio is currently developing a remake of Assassin's Creed 1, which is slated to follow the recent launch of Assassin's Creed Black Flag: Resynced, suggesting it will launch before Hexe.
