AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Ubisoft shares new details on Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe and Invictus, confirming creative leadership changes, multiplayer plans, and community involvement strategies.
Ubisoft has lifted the curtain on the future of its flagship historical franchise, offering fresh details on upcoming projects including the narrative-focused Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe and the multiplayer experience Codename Invictus. Franchise head of content Jean Guesdon addressed the community this week to clarify the direction of these titles, confirming that Guesdon has stepped in as creative director on Hexe. While the team is keeping specific details close to the chest, Guesdon described Hexe as a unique and darker experience set during a critical historical era, noting that development is taking time to fully realize its ambitious vision.
On the multiplayer front, Guesdon touched on Codename Invictus, which is being built by a dedicated team of For Honor veterans. Addressing persistent leaks and rumors that characterized the project as a cartoonish party game, Guesdon pushed back by stating that the reality differs from what has been circulating online. The team plans to incorporate player feedback early in the process, inviting the community to help shape the mechanics and overall scope of the project.
The broader franchise roadmap also includes the ongoing development of mobile title Assassin's Creed Jade and the eventual return of cooperative gameplay modes. Ubisoft acknowledged that another early-stage project was recently canceled, but the studio emphasized that those lessons are already informing current development. Fans looking for the next major update can tune into the Ubisoft Twitch channel on March 20 for more news, with that broadcast expected to center heavily on Assassin's Creed Shadows as reported by Polygon.
