Update to the update:Responding to Insider Gaming's study claiming astir 50 Assassin's Creed Hexe devs person been moved to an interproject team, Ubisoft person issued the pursuing connection to RPS:

Update: A study from Insider Gaming has seconded j0nathan's assertion astir Assassin's Creed Hexe ditching a cat, alleging that the crippled volition alternatively instrumentality much grounded and technological attack to depicting witchcraft.

Insider Gaming's study besides claims that Ubisoft enactment opted to determination astir 50 Hexe developers disconnected the task past week, with these devs being transferred to an interproject squad that's location to folks not assigned to a circumstantial game. The study claims that unit connected this interproject squad "are required to unafraid a task astatine Ubisoft wrong a three-month period, oregon they could look redundancy".

Insider Gaming besides asseverate that Hexe is presently planned to merchandise successful June 2027, but could perchance gaffe to aboriginal successful that year.

I've reached retired to Ubisoft for comment.

Original communicative follows:

A remake of the archetypal Assassin's Creed crippled was successful the works astatine Ubisoft arsenic of a fewer years ago, a salient AC leaker has claimed, portion besides alleging that the decision's precocious been taken to ditch immoderate of Assassin's Creed Hexe's much "magical" elements.

This chatter comes connected the heels of Ubisoft yet revealing the much-leaked Black Flag Resynced past week and the quality that erstwhile Hexe crippled manager Benoit Richer has near the publisher.

The root of this leak's an AssCreed YouTuber who goes by j0nathan - they've antecedently prophesied the likes of AC Valhalla's 3rd DLC being called Dawn of Ragnarök and being acceptable successful Svartalfheim. Following Black Flag Resynced's reveal, they've claimed that backmost successful 2023 they were told a remake of the archetypal Assassin's Creed depicting Altair's 3rd crusade parkour was successful the works.

Naturally, that leaves unfastened the question of whether this alleged remake's inactive successful improvement arsenic of close now, particularly fixed Ubisoft's question of cancellations and delays earlier this year. That said, Ubisoft did marque wide that remakes of older stabby robe-wearer games were a cardinal portion of their aboriginal plans arsenic of 2024.

Not done with posting, j0nathan besides claimed that Hexe's gone done changes since archetypal AC Black Flag originative manager Jean Guesdon was promoted to caput of contented connected the bid arsenic portion of a enactment shakeup earlier this year. The leaker alleges Guesdon's opted to ditch "magical" elements of Hexe, specified arsenic the subordinate taking power of a cat. Running astir connected 4 paws doesn't look excessively overmuch antithetic from having bird-inspired x-ray imaginativeness to my mind, but slimming down the scope of an AC crippled to absorption much heavy connected the established loop of jumping astir and stabbing radical arsenic a quality would loosely reflector the attack the publishers person taken to Black Flag Resynced.

As of writing, Hexe remains merchandise dateless, though dissimilar the alleged AC1 remake, Ubisoft person astatine slightest confirmed it exists.
