On 10 September 2022, a short teaser was released showing a wooden [[Assassin insignia]] surrounded by script identified to be the "{{Wiki|alphabet of the magi}}." Eagle-eyed fans from ''[[Access the Animus]]'' worked on translating the text. The text in the outer circle was [[the Creed]], translated into the [[Germany|Old German]] "Wir arbeiten im dem tunckel um dem licht zu dienen", in English "We work in the dark to serve the light". The sections around the {{Wiki|pentagram}}, the pentagram tips, and the central pentagon itself are all also read clockwise. Starting from the "goat's" right horn, they read "Mephisto", "rache", and "husa", with "rache" being the singular imperative of ''[[wikt:rächen|rächen]]'' or "revenge, to avenge" and "husa" being the Proto-German word [[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/hūsą|hūsą]] meaning "house". Together, it suggests a spell that reads "Mephisto avenge this house".<ref>{{Youtube|NSRhXh4btSU|We Have CRACKED The Codes & Secrets of Assassin's Creed Infinity - Project Hexe Teaser (AC Infinity)|channel/UCJagPhYpiiE09D5pA-ZGuZw|Access The Animus}}</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
The script around the wooden [[Assassin insignia]] is written in the so-called "{{Wiki|alphabet of the magi}}", the modern name for a series of symbols used by 17th century occultists what was based on the {{Wiki|Hebrew alphabet}}. The outer ring is read clockwise, and after transposing the Latin alphabet, it produces the [[Germany|German]] translation of part of [[the Creed]], "Wir arbeiten ''[sic]'' im dem twnckel ''[sic]'' um dem licht zu dienen", or "We work in the dark to serve the light". The sections around the {{Wiki|pentagram}}, the pentagram tips, and the central pentagon itself are all also read clockwise. Starting from the "goat's" right horn, they read "Mephisto", "rache", and "hwsa", with "rache" being the singular imperative of ''[[wikt:rächen|rächen]]'' or "revenge, to avenge" and "hwsa" derived from the Proto-German word [[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/hūsą|hūsą]] meaning "house". Together, it suggests a spell that reads "Mephisto avenge this house".<ref>{{Youtube|NSRhXh4btSU|We Have CRACKED The Codes & Secrets of Assassin's Creed Infinity - Project Hexe Teaser (AC Infinity)|channel/UCJagPhYpiiE09D5pA-ZGuZw|Access The Animus}}</ref>

You cannot know anything. Only suspect.

This article contains content from pre-release sources that may or may not be reflective of canon upon release. This article therefore likely contains spoilers.

Assassin's Creed: Hexe, also referred to as Assassin's Creed: Neo,[1] is the working title for an upcoming installment in the Assassin's Creed series, being a part of the Assassin's Creed: Infinity platform. The game is expected to be one of the darkest series entries yet, set during the witch trials in the Holy Roman Empire, and will be helmed by Ubisoft Montreal.[2]

Development

The conceptual title of the game was first leaked on 6 September 2022 and reported by Bloomberg, who also noted that this game, as well as Assassin's Creed: Red, will likely not release until 2024 at the earliest.[2] It was later confirmed at the Ubisoft Forward livestream during its Assassin's Creed showcase, alongside a short teaser.[3] The series' Vice President Executive Producer Marc-Alexis Côté revealed to IGN that Hexe would not be an Action-RPG like Red, but something different entirely.[4]

Release

Marketing

On 10 September 2022, a short teaser was released showing a wooden Assassin insignia surrounded by script identified to be the "alphabet of the magi." Eagle-eyed fans from Access the Animus worked on translating the text. The text in the outer circle was the Creed, translated into the Old German "Wir arbeiten im dem tunckel um dem licht zu dienen", in English "We work in the dark to serve the light". The sections around the pentagram, the pentagram tips, and the central pentagon itself are all also read clockwise. Starting from the "goat's" right horn, they read "Mephisto", "rache", and "husa", with "rache" being the singular imperative of rächen or "revenge, to avenge" and "husa" being the Proto-German word hūsą meaning "house". Together, it suggests a spell that reads "Mephisto avenge this house".[5]
