Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe Potentially Delayed to 2028 as Ancient Rome Rumor Emerges

Ubisoft is focusing on its next mainline entry, Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, following the final update for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. However, the upcoming project has reportedly run into internal issues. Sources speaking to Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson allege that the game has faced a year-long internal delay. Originally targeting a mid-2027 release window, Codename Hexe could now launch in 2028 instead.

Reports have also surfaced regarding another mainline title codenamed Mars. According to insider Jonathan, citing sources with access to Ubisoft's backend systems, Mars is set in Ancient Rome and could tie into an upcoming live-action series. Tom Henderson confirmed hearing the codename Mars, though he could not verify further details due to recent turbulence surrounding the franchise. This instability follows organizational restructuring and the departure of former franchise head Marc-Alexis Côté, who described his exit as a constructive dismissal and launched a lawsuit against Ubisoft for nearly $1 million. An official update on Hexe is expected next year.
