Assassin’s Creed Project Red and Project Hexe to be Revealed at Ubisoft Forward – Rumor

Set in 16th century Europe with witch hunts being prominent, Project Hexe aims to be the "darkest Assassin's Creed game ever," as per Tom Henderson.

While Assassin’s Creed Mirage is confirmed to appear at Ubisoft Forward this Saturday, rumors have been circulating about other Assassin’s Creed titles in development. Two of these titles would reportedly launch with Assassin’s Creed Infinity, with one denoted as Project Red and said to be set in Japan.

Writing for TryHardGuides, insider Tom Henderson corroborated information with “several new sources” to provide more details on the two titles. As indicated earlier, Assassin’s Creed Project Red is set in Japan, and early concept art depicted a “female samurai-like assassin,” though there will likely be male and female options.

The second title is Assassin’s Creed Project Hexe, formerly known as Project Neo, and reportedly the “darkest Assassin’s Creed game ever.” Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, it’s seemingly set in 16th century Europe with witch hunts being rampant. There’s also Project Jade, a mobile title set in China, and the final DLC for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (likely the conclusion to Eivor’s story, as teased several months ago). As for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, it will have an extensive deep dive at the show.

Henderson is unclear on whether Project Nexus, the VR title, will be showcased, so stay tuned for further details. Ubisoft Forward takes place on September 10th at noon PT. Titles like Skull and Bones and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope are also confirmed to appear.
