Last week, Benoit Richer, who was the game director of Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, finally left Ubisoft . But it seems he wasn’t the only one…
Insider Gaming reports that around fifty developers were removed from the project following changes to the franchise’s leadership team in February. This reduction in the team dedicated to Hexe was also reportedly announced last week. Employees now reportedly have three months to join a title currently in production at Ubisoft, or else they will be laid off.
Additionally, Insider Gaming has confirmed xj0nathan’s information regarding the more « realistic » aspect of Assassin’s Creed Hexe. Rather than practicing magic, the heroine would learn the basics of chemistry (for example, to make smoke bombs).
Finally, the release of Assassin’s Creed Hexe is currently set for June 2027.
It’s always interesting to hear updates about upcoming games. It sounds like there have been some significant changes during development. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together by 2027!
It’s definitely a mixed bag with such significant developer turnover. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects the game’s direction and overall quality. Let’s hope the team can pull everything together by the 2027 release date!
It really is a mixed bag! Developer turnover can impact the game’s vision and continuity, but it might also bring fresh ideas to the project. It will be fascinating to see how the new team shapes Hexe as it approaches its release.
