Assassin's Creed Hexe setting potentially leaked as a witchy German city, and Ubisoft fans think it's "the best possible outcome"
The largely mysterious Assassin's Creed Hexe – Ubisoft's upcoming big flagship entry in its iconic Assassin's Creed series – was recently in the limelight as developers revealed it as a "darker" installment "set during a pivotal moment in history." Now, it's making rounds online once again, thanks to leaks supposedly unveiling its setting and more.
There's a handy post on Reddit that sums up all of the rumors neatly – rumors that have come from prominent Ubisoft leaker "Rogue," apparently – and it's a lot.
First, the new protagonist's name is allegedly actually "Anika," with Elsa simply acting as a placeholder. Furthermore, she's described as a "descendant of Claudia Auditore."

Ezio is also supposedly making an appearance in Hexe, either in person or as some sort of ghost/memory. Rumored lines from the Renaissance character include: "Come. Leap with me. One last time for an old man."
Sounds like an emotional comeback, if you ask me – and one I seriously hope rings true in-game. The leak alleges that another figure known as "Wolfgang" will be in Hexe, too, along with blood pacts, ritual sites, and "lots of forests."
Perhaps the most significant rumor of all, however, is the setting of Assassin's Creed Hexe: Würzburg, Germany. Now, as somebody who grew up in Germany, I think this sounds perfect for a witchy RPG – if that's indeed what Hexe ends up being.
Folks seem to approve online as well, with one person responding directly to Rogue in a post, writing, "Würzburg is the best possible outcome I had hoped for AC Hexe." You know what? Agreed.

Others are pointing to the witch trials in Würzburg during the 17th century as an example of why the potential setting "could be good" in Hexe.
Elsewhere, people are simply shocked – understandably, many fans presumed the new Assassin's Creed might be set in Salem, as it's, well, the setting of most witch trial-related media. "I thought it was gonna be Salem Witch Trials," as one person exclaims. "IT'S THE GERMAN WÜRZBURG WITCH TRIALS!"
Only time will tell what leaks are real and which aren't, I suppose – although I do certainly hope that Würzburg truly is the setting of Hexe. Until we find out, I'll just be looking forward to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, instead.
