Assassin's Creed Hexe has reportedly been delayed internally to 2028, according to sources cited by insider Tom Henderson in October. The game was previously expected to release in 2027, with some leakers pointing to the second half of that year as the earliest window. Ubisoft has not officially confirmed any release date for the title since its 2022 announcement.
Development of the game has faced multiple setbacks. Ubisoft Montreal was reworking the combat system deep into production in February, and approximately 50 developers were moved off the project months later. The specific issues prompting the latest delay remain unclear.
Ubisoft's most recent official statement came in late October, when the company said Hexe was making steady progress but acknowledged work remained ahead. The publisher promised another major update in 2027 without confirming a launch window. The 2028 target should be treated as an internal estimate that could still change.
What happened
Assassin's Creed Hexe probably won't be out before 2028. Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson says sources told him as recently as October that the game had run into issues and was pushed back internally by another year. The claim was tucked into a larger report about two unannounced Assassin's Creed projects, including the Ancient Rome game codenamed Mars, though the Hexe bit is arguably the bigger news for anyone who has been waiting since Ubisoft first announced the game back in 2022. Henderson didn't say what the issues are. Up until now, 2027 looked like the target. A leaker pointed to June 2027 earlier this year, and NateTheHate later said Hexe wouldn't launch before the second half of 2027 at the earliest.
