Industry insider Tom Henderson has indicated that Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe is aiming for a 2027 launch window. According to his reporting, Assassin’s Creed Shadows—the next mainline entry—will receive two full years of post-launch DLC support, positioning Hexe as the franchise’s follow-up once that content cycle concludes.

If accurate, this roadmap suggests Ubisoft is leaning into a long-tail live content strategy for Shadows before shifting the spotlight to Hexe. A two-year runway typically allows for major expansions, seasonal updates, and systems refinements, which can extend player engagement and stabilize the series’ release cadence.

While Ubisoft has not provided an official date, Henderson’s timeline aligns with the publisher’s recent approach: support the current flagship with substantive updates, then transition to the next core entry. For fans watching the franchise calendar, the takeaway is simple—expect Shadows to dominate 2025–2026, with Hexe tentatively lining up for 2027.

As always, treat the window as provisional until formal announcements arrive. But if this schedule holds, players can anticipate a steady stream of Shadows content now—and a fresh chapter with Codename Hexe on the horizon in 2027.
