A new and official gameplay teaser for Assassin’s Creed Hexe has just been dropped, and seeing what it may have in store has just left us more excited than ever before for its potential. Expected to be the next big core release for the series, a few details about Hexe are already known, while others seem to be emerging gradually. There has been a series of leaks about Assassin’s Creed Hexe, some of which mention that a feature that was highly anticipated was removed, for example.

There have also been release-related leaks for Assassin’s Creed Hexe, highlighting its different editions, pre-order bonuses, the prices for them, and the possible release window, set for June 2027. Of course, leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, as information may be inaccurate and, at the very best, subject to change, according to Ubisoft’s internal plans. Even so, there has been a big new piece of information officially revealed by the company, and it’s thrilling.

Have You Found The Assassin's Creed Hexe Teaser Yet?

The first look into Assassin’s Creed Hexe has just been made available with the release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. In the new game, players can access a special area called the Rift, which serves as an Animus-style mode. As was showcased by user Zephryss on X, there is a particular building found in the Rift that is a teaser for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Hexe, even if the words aren’t directly mentioned.

The big thing about this building in Black Flag Resynced is that it is seemingly a recreation of the Saint Lorenz Church in Nuremberg, Germany, as is highlighted by ThePunisher on X. Ubisoft has not confirmed the setting for Hexe, apart from the fact that it will take place in 16th-Century Central Europe during the witch trials. Saint Lorenz Church’s construction ended in 1477. On top of that, leaks have pointed to Nuremberg as one of the destinations in the game. This likely means that this church is actually a small teaser for the release of Assassin’s Creed Hexe.

Assassin's Creed Fans Are About To Be In "Parkour Heaven"

If this proves to be true, players may be in for a whole lot of “parkour heaven,” as was described by Zephryss. If the architecture of the Saint Lorenz Church is to be taken as a foundation of what may be, the cities in Assassin’s Creed Hexe may be huge and very vertical, allowing for a ton of parkour. The freerunning system in Assassin’s Creed has taken a hit since the franchise turned to its RPG-style gameplay.

Even if it was revisited in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, players still miss the good old days, where freerunning was the bread and butter of gameplay. It’s best to wait for more official information from Ubisoft. Nevertheless, it’s impossible not to garner hope for what the gameplay in Assassin’s Creed Hexe will look like if we have a series of tall, climbable buildings as we did back in AC Unity or AC Syndicate.
