Assassin’s Creed Hexe leak predicts the return of a legendary hero, and I can’t wait for it

Leaks suggest Assassin’s Creed Hexe will star a new protagonist named Anika, who may be descended from Claudia Auditore.

Ezio Auditore could appear in the game as an older mentor or guide, according to the reports.

The story is said to take place during the German witch trials, with a darker, stealth- and horror-focused tone.

If accurate, the return of Ezio would be a major nostalgia boost while signaling a more horror-driven direction for Ubisoft.
