Assassin's Creed Hexe DLC leaked before the game is even revealed

Q: What connection does the article make between Hexe and locations in Nuremberg or Wurzburg?

The article reports a datamined string reading "Season_Pass_Wuerzburg_Expansion," suggesting a post-launch expansion for Hexe set in Wurzburg. It also notes a hidden cathedral found inside Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced that players matched to a real church in Nuremberg, which is presented as a likely tease for Hexe's setting.

Assassin's Creed Hexe's reveal is said to be imminent, but a supposed Wuerzburg DLC seems to have leaked before the game is even revealed.

TL;DR: A datamined string reportedly leaked by Ubisoft insider RogueTx suggests Assassin's Creed Hexe may have a post-launch Wurzburg expansion, surfacing before the game's official reveal. RogueTx has previously leaked Hexe details, including a June 2027 target and development upheavals, though Ubisoft has not commented.

Assassin's Creed Hexe still hasn't been officially revealed, but a DLC for the game seems to have already leaked. While yes, the official reveal is supposedly coming soon, getting information about an expansion pack before the main game is quite peculiar, to say the least.

The find comes from RogueTx, the same Ubisoft insider we have closely tracked throughout Hexe's rocky development. The leaker says a datamined string from the game's source code reads "Season_Pass_Wuerzburg_Expansion," pointing to a post-launch expansion set in Wurzburg, a real city in Bavaria.

If accurate, that would mean Ubisoft is already building out post-launch content for a game it hasn't even announced yet, similar to how Assassin's Creed Shadows got story expansions rather than pure cosmetic add-ons.

This adds intrigue to everything else RogueTx has leaked about Hexe so far. The same source previously claimed the game targets a June 2027 release, having reportedly moved up from a later holiday window. He also pointed to a hidden cathedral tucked inside Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced as a likely tease for Hexe's setting, with players matching the building to a real church in Nuremberg. Whether Ubisoft is deliberately seeding its next game inside its last one is impossible to confirm, but the timing lines up a little too neatly to dismiss.

Assassin's Creed Hexe itself has had a messy road to get here. The project lost two directors within two months earlier this year, then reportedly lost 50 developers in a cost-cutting move shortly after. New creative director Jean Guesdon has apparently been reworking core systems since taking over, including magic and the player's cat companion, which was said to be getting a more grounded rework.

None of this is official, and Ubisoft hasn't commented on the leak. However, this particular leaker has built up a track record on this specific game, flagging Ezio Auditore's return and the accelerated 2027 timeline before either was confirmed elsewhere. This new season pass leaking this early has an air of authenticity around it.

For a franchise that badly needs Hexe to land after the mixed reception to Shadows, having the DLC plan leak before the reveal trailer is certainly a strange way to build anticipation.
