Insider xj0nathan has also shared a leak regarding Assassin's Creed Hexe. More concretely, he has posted a very dark screenshot of the game. We've included it at the bottom of this article in its original version and in a version brightened using AI.
He also confirmed that the protagonist’s name is Anika Adler and that an assassin named Wolfgang will serve as her mentor. What's more, Ezio is said to appear through memory fragments in the game.
Original article
It appears that the return of a key character from the franchise is almost confirmed. Ezio Auditore, who appeared in Assassin's Creed II in 2009, is reportedly set to appear in the upcoming title Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe.
Information shared by a user named Rogue—allegedly an Ubisoft insider—can be found on a subreddit. It reveals several details, including the name of the main protagonist, Anika, who is actually Ezio’s sister and will be guided by him throughout the adventure.
As a reminder, Ezio Auditore is depicted as dead in a short film called Embers (2011). So, if his return in Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe is confirmed, he could very well take the form of a spirit or something similar, which would fit perfectly with the very dark theme of this upcoming installment.
