Assassin's Creed Hexe just got leaked, it's darker than ever

Huge leaks for Assassin’s Creed Hexe have been revealed, and they caused massive hype among fans after various information leaked online, including screenshots, story details, setting information, AND THE ALLEGED RETURN OF EZIO AUDITORE!

According to the leaks, the game is set in Germany during the witch trials era. The protagonist is allegedly named Anika, and the focus is much darker and more horror-oriented. And Ezio could appear through memory elements.
There are also mentions of ritual sites, forests, stealth-heavy gameplay, a psychological horror atmosphere, and witch hunts!

The biggest hype comes from the fact that Hexe looks completely different from the modern RPG-style Assassin’s Creed games. Fans see all of this as a potential return to the dark Assassin’s Creed tone and stealth focus, as well as mystery atmosphere, but also slower gameplay.

A lot of people are saying that the game finally feels fresh, risky, and more creative than all the recent Assassin’s Creed titles. Some fans say it feels like the series is returning to its prime.

Assassin’s Creed Hexe is obviously trying to be the darkest Assassin’s Creed game, a horror-inspired Assassin’s Creed, more psychological and atmospheric, and less of an RPG power fantasy. Visually and tonally, many people compare the game to a Bloodborne vibe, with folklore horror and old-school stealth Assassin’s Creed energy.

After many years of the RPG approach with games like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, part of the fanbase has been asking for a smaller scope, stronger stealth, a darker tone, and a more focused Assassin’s Creed for a very long time.
Assassin’s Creed Hexe currently feels like Ubisoft’s attempt to bring all of that back to the way it was in the old good days.

The leaks created massive hype around Hexe, fans are very interested in the darker horror direction, and the stealth + witch trials setting feels like a refresh for the series.

However... Right now, most of the information is still nothing more than unconfirmed rumors.
