Benoit Richer has left Assassin’s Creed Hexe, following creative director Clint Hocking's exit. Richer is starting a new indie studio with other veterans. The game is set to explore a darker narrative during the late Holy Roman Empire, diverging from the series' historical focus. Fans will have to wait until 2027 for Hexe, while Ubisoft prepares for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynched in 2026. How do you think these changes will affect the game's direction?
