What is the franchise’s big plan?

Much to the player’s relief, Codename Hexe will once again focus on stealth, with open-combat and RPG elements being downplayed. Fans have been demanding the game return to its stealth-based roots, and it seems Ubisoft has finally listened.

Notably, Codename Hexe’s exact release date hasn’t been revealed yet. The game was initially revealed for 2022, but reports suggest it could arrive as early as 2027. Remember that Assassin’s Creed Shadows It has been more than a year since its release, so the fans’ impatience is understandable.

This debate is likely to continue until the next game’s release.

What can be said in the last step?

Seeing the end of an iconic character like Edward Kenway will certainly be an emotional moment for fans who have been following the pirate-assassin’s journey for years. Meanwhile, the new beginning for the franchise, Codename Hexe, is looking equally exciting. All in all, Assassin’s Creed fans are in for a treat.
