The information comes from prominent Ubisoft leaker ' j0nathan ' (via IGN ), who claims to have shared the first screenshot from the game showing Hexe 's protagonist crouched in a tree, wearing assassin garb and Hidden Blade poised to strike. "They call me a witch," is one alleged voice line, along with "The forest moves at night."

The leaker also shared apparent plot details for the witchcraft-inspired
game, along with the identity of the main character: a woman named Anika who has an older assassin mentor named Wolfgang.

It's said that Anika's previously known name, Elsa, was a placeholder name, but this is where things get interesting. Disclaimer Potential spoilers ahead for Assassin's Creed Hexe It's claimed that Anika is the descendant of
Claudia Auditore, and if you're a fan of the series, you'll know that Claudia is the sister of Assassin's Creed 2 protagonist, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. This would make Anika a direct descendant of Ezio.

It's also said that the beloved assassin will return in some form and act as
a guide to Anika, but not be physically present, and will have multiple voicelines that include parts of The Creed and the likes of "Come. Leap with me. One last time for an old man." Get daily insight, inspiration and deals

While the possibility of witchcraft isn't off the table, the leaker said that Anika will feel Ezio's presence through some sort of Isu recording, a memory disc, flashbacks, or similar technology.

As for the story, Hexe will take place in Wrzburg, Germany, during the witch trials in 1625, and non-playable characters (NPCs) will seemingly try to report and capture Anika for practicing witchcraft.

The game will also have "lots of forests", mission objectives that require players to "find the ritual sites" and "recover the stolen relics", as well
as unlockable skills like "tree-to-tree jumping." What to read next Assassins Creed fans have been burned by a terrible adaptation before, but Netflixs
