In addition to looking backward at the Assassin’s Creed franchise by remaking Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, Ubisoft is also looking toward the future for its historical action-adventure franchise. That future includes a new “darker, narrative-driven Assassin’s Creed experience,” a new PvP multiplayer game, and the return of cooperative multiplayer, according to franchise head of content Jean Guesdon.
On Wednesday, Guesdon addressed multiple reports and rumors about the Assassin’s Creed franchise, including that he’s now the creative director on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, taking over for the outgoing Clint Hocking. Codename Hexe was announced in 2022 at Ubisoft Forward as a “different approach to innovate in terms of gameplay.” Guesdon teased Hexe further, saying that players should “expect a unique, darker, narrative-driven Assassin’s Creed experience, set during a pivotal moment in history.”
“We are taking the time to deliver on its ambitious vision, which means we’ll be quiet for a while longer,” Guesdon said, “but we love seeing all the enthusiasm happening on our channels and can’t wait to unveil more when the time is right.” Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal.
