Ezio Auditore Returning in Assassin's Creed Hexe, It's Claimed
Insider Gaming • • technology
Key Points:
- Rumors suggest that Ezio Auditore, the iconic Assassin’s Creed character from Assassin’s Creed II, will return in the upcoming title Hexe, which focuses on witchcraft, fear, and persecution.
- The protagonist of Hexe, named Anika, is reportedly a descendant of Claudia Auditore, Ezio’s sister, linking the new story to the original Assassin’s Creed II narrative.
- Claims state that Ezio will appear to guide Anika, possibly in ghostly form or through supernatural means, despite timeline inconsistencies given the game's setting during the German witch trials.
- Ubisoft has previously incorporated characters transcending time or death in the franchise, such as Altair’s ghost in Assassin’s Creed Revelations and Kassandra’s prolonged lifespan in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, supporting the possibility of Ezio’s return.
- Assassin’s Creed Hexe is said to have shifted from magical themes to a more grounded approach to witchcraft, emphasizing alchemy rather than mysticism.
