Insider Rogue has shared new information about Assassin’s Creed Hexe. According to the leak, the protagonist’s real name is Anika, while Elsa was reportedly only an internal development name. It is also claimed that she is a descendant of Claudia Auditore, Ezio’s sister.
The game is rumored to take place during the Wurzburg Witch Trials of 1625–1631, one of the largest witch trial events in European history that led to mass executions. Previous reports already suggested that Hexe would feature a much darker tone compared to other entries in the franchise.
The leaks also mention gameplay mechanics involving blood rituals, poisons, discovering ritual sites, recovering stolen relics, and a more aggressive NPC alert system. Enemies are said to react much faster to suspicious activity due to the fear of witches.
Rogue also highlighted the game’s large forest areas and the return of tree-to-tree parkour movement similar to Assassin’s Creed 3.
In addition, the insider claims that Ezio Auditore will return as a spiritual mentor guiding Anika throughout the story.
Several alleged voice lines have also surfaced online:
- Anika 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: “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: “They call me a witch. They want to burn me for what I can do. For what I know.”
Ubisoft has not officially confirmed any of these details yet, so the information should still be treated as rumor for now.
As a Reminder, Rumor: Ezio Auditore Could Return in Upcoming Assassin’s Creed Hexe.
