Following Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has turned its focus to the highly anticipated new game in the main series, Assassin’s Creed Hexe . Although official information about this game, which has been in development for a long time, is limited, recent leaks have revealed valuable details about the game’s world.

It is known that the game will take place in 16th-century Germany and will offer a dark atmosphere where witch hunts prevail. At the center of this story is a young woman accused of witchcraft.

A Dark Story in 16th-Century Germany

Leaked documents identify the game’s main character as “Petra”. Petra, in her mid-twenties, is a strong-willed woman struggling against the restrictive roles imposed on her by society.

Her close circle includes her compassionate mother, Brigitte, a midwife, and her extremely devout but devoted father, Konrad. Leaks suggest that Konrad may be the executioner of the Neustadt district and involved in shady dealings.

The number of characters surrounding Petra is quite large, each playing a different role in the story. The character named “Bruno” stands out as one of the dominant figures in the setting with his patriarchal structure and crude humor.

“Anton, while appearing respectable from the outside, is described as an ambitious figure acting in his own self-interest. Wolfgang, who is said to guide Petra, is also thought to be among these characters.

In the story, Johanna appears as a wealthy but morally corrupt woman. Petra’s sensitive and young brother, Theo, stands out as another valuable member of the family.

Erika is depicted as an intelligent but arrogant young woman who places great importance on defending her social status. This diversity of characters suggests that the game will delve deeply into not only the witch hunts but also the social structure of the era.

Characters and Present-Day Story

Among the most intriguing names revealed in the leaks is 65-year-old “Mother” Gertrud.” Gertrud, who was a healer in a village in the past, is accused of witchcraft by the villagers after a disease she couldn’t cure spread.

Although Gertrud is not officially convicted, she is ostracized from society and begins to live an isolated life. Gertrud, who is claimed to have a connection to Petra’s family from the past, is one of the mysterious aspects of the story.

It is suggested that the group Petra is trying to escape from is an organization called “The Order of the Lamb.” This group is thought to be connected to the Templars in the Assassin’s Creed universe.

New leaks indicate that the series’ classic modern-day story will continue in Hexe. This section mentions a character named “Anna,” who is ambitious and values ​​her profession.

When combined with the limited information shared by Ubisoft, it seems that the game will move away from the large RPG structure of recent years. Hexe aims to offer a darker, more focused, and story-driven experience.

In your opinion, what impact will this new and darker story-driven approach to the Assassin’s Creed series have on the future of the series?
