About Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe
Announcement at Ubisoft Forward 2022
The first mention and at the same time the official announcement of the game went to the players on September 10, 2022, when the annual Ubisoft Forward took place. In a half-hour segment entirely dedicated to the Assassin's Creed series, one of the new projects featured was Codename Hexe. According to Marc-Alexis Cote, guest of the event who worked on Assassin's Creed: Syndicate и Odyssey, it will be a new main part of the series, but it will be "very different". A short trailer was also shown showing a dark, dark and dense forest in which the assassins badge in the form of a witcher's talisman. At the end of the trailer, the game's logo was shown with the symbols it contained, which Mark called for deciphering.
Deciphering symbols from the game logo
First, the community was able to decipher the outer layer of characters from the game's logo, which turns out to be derived from the "Alphabet of Magic", a variant of the Hebrew alphabet used in talismans throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries primarily by Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, also known as parascelus. Translated into Latin, the outer inscription reads : "Wir arbeiten im dem tunckel um dem licht zu dienen", i.e "We operate in darkness, in the service of the light", which, of course, is the motto of the brotherhood.
By reading the internal characters in the correct order, we get three words − Mephisto, i.e. a demon who is Licifer's assistant in German folklore, Rachewhich can mean revenge or revenge, and Goosewhich means home or household. All these words may refer to Drama by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Faust", written in 1773 - 1832, in which the main character imprisons the devil Mephisto in his house with a pentagram, most likely in an act of revenge.
All this information most likely reveals the general theme, as well as the place and time of the game - it will be a heavily Catholic region of the Holy Roman Empire, in the seventeenth century, when there were many criminal trials in which the prosecution dealt with magic. According to many, they will be a big part of the Codename Hexe story.
