Ubisoft leaks first image of Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe protagonist

A leak from the well‑known Assassin's Creed source “Rogue” (formerly on X) revealed the first visual of Anika, the presumed lead character of the upcoming title Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe. The image shows the red‑haired heroine from behind as she enters a tomb‑like, low‑light environment, suggesting a darker, witch‑hunt‑themed setting in the Holy Roman Empire.

Following the post, the Rogue account was suspended, which many interpret as an implicit acknowledgement from Ubisoft that the material is official and that a formal announcement may be imminent. The leak has spurred speculation that the game will depart from the series' open‑world formula, may feature appearances by legacy characters such as Ezio, and could receive its first official trailer at Gamescom in August.
