New Assassin’s Creed Hexe Leaks: Protagonist’s Real Name, Actual Setting, and More

When Ubisoft initially revealed Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, fans quickly figured out it would likely take place during the Witch Trials in Germany. Now, new information has surfaced detailing the protagonist’s family history, actual name, the specific time period, and the game’s setting. If these Assassin’s Creed Hexe rumors and leaks are accurate, it’s very promising news for fans—most of them, at least.

Like all leaks, this information depends on the reliability of its source, which is a leaker known as Rogue, though their track record isn’t completely confirmed. Interestingly, another leaker, xJonathan, who often shares Ubisoft information – including details about past games like Assassin’s Creed Hexe and Invictus – is backing up some of what Rogue has said. While that adds a little credibility, it’s still best to view everything with a degree of skepticism.

Trapped in One of History’s Largest Witch Trials

According to recent reports, the main character in the upcoming AC Hexe isn’t named Elsa, but Anika—Elsa is apparently just an internal code name used during development, which makes sense. The game is said to be set during the historical Wurzburg Witch Trials of 1625-1631, a particularly large and brutal period of persecution, and one of the biggest mass trials and executions in European history. Earlier rumors hinted that AC Hexe would be a darker game than usual for the Assassin’s Creed series, and it seems those rumors were accurate.

In terms of gameplay, AC Hexe will feature elements like blood pacts, poisons, and the discovery of ritual sites to recover stolen relics. The game also includes a more responsive NPC system – enemies will quickly report anything suspicious, fitting for a world filled with witches. Players can expect a lot of forest exploration, with a parkour system allowing them to jump between trees. This parkour is reminiscent of Assassin’s Creed 3. Furthermore, reports suggest the return of Ezio Auditore, with the story revealing that the protagonist, Anika, is a descendant of Ezio’s sister, Claudia.

Okay, so it looks like Anika is being guided by Ezio… like, as a spirit or ghost? It’s a little weird, honestly, but the AC Hexe team has been doing such a great job so far that I’m willing to go with it. Plus, some leaked voice lines between them have surfaced, and they sound pretty interesting at different points in the game.

  • Annika to Ezio: “That white hood, it’s like the one in my mother’s drawings.”
  • Ezio to Anika: “She wanted you to have a life.”
  • Ezio line: “Come, leap with me. One last time for an old man.”
  • Ezio to Anika: “They always fear what they cannot control. They called us demons once, too. But remember, Anika: “Nulla e reale, tutto e lecito.”
  • Anika line: “They call me a witch. They want to burn me for what I can do. For what I know.”
  • Other voicelines:
    • “Form a circle, do not let her vanish!”
    • “They say the forest moves at night.”
    • “Check the shadows! She can’t have gone far.”

It’s currently unclear whether this information is accurate or simply a collection of desired features for the next Assassin’s Creed game, potentially Hexe. However, if true – and it aligns with previous leaks from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced – it sounds like a really promising game. I’m a little worried about the possibility of Ezio returning, but if his return is well-explained and Anika is genuinely related to Claudia, it could be a fascinating addition.
