If you are waiting on Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe after Shadows support winds down, treat the calendar as soft. On July 28, 2026, gaming insider Nate the Hate said the game will not launch until the second half of 2027 at the earliest, and that Ubisoft does not need to rush a reveal. That is an insider claim, not a Ubisoft date.
What Nate said (and what he did not)
Asked about timing, Nate replied on X:

Until Ubisoft publishes a window, keep both in the rumor column.

What Ubisoft has actually confirmed
The clearest recent studio note sits in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Into 2026 franchise update. After describing Shadows' final support phase, Head of Content Jean Guesdon turned to Hexe:
