Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe Trailers
We have received only one trailer of Codename Hexagon, and it is quite short. The thirty-second reveal trailer introduces us to a gloomy, eerie forest before the camera pans across the tree branches and lands on what looks like a talisman over a fire that takes the classic shape of the Assassin's Creed logo. Although the trailer does not give us a release date or information about the platforms on which the game will be available, there is still a little more to analyze.
At first, the logo made of sticks and twine doesn't seem too out of the ordinary, but the final card places the same structure in an inverted pentacle, which is traditionally used in connection with the occult. An alphabet surrounds the symbol, and the letters inside the pentacle also offer clues about the game that might be missed unless you can decipher the translation.
Fortunately, you don't need to do such a translation yourself, as many eager players have already begun analyzing the clues included in the trailer. As explained by the unconditional members of the community. Access the Animus in a detailed YouTube video, the outside of the symbol translates from the alphabet of the Magi directly into German and reads “Wir arbaiten im dem twnckel um dem licht zu dienen” which, when translated into English, reads “we work at night to serve the light.” As Ezio said in Assassin's creed Brotherhoodwhich has since become a 'catchphrase' of the series.
But this is not the only information to analyze. In the center of the symbol, the same alphabet can be used to roughly translate the interior sections. On the outer ring, the word “Mephisto”, which is a demon from German folklore, is written, followed by “Rache”, which means “revenge”, and “Hwsa”, which means “house” or “family”. When put together, the phrase “Mephisto will avenge the house/family” is what we are left with, leaning heavily towards hex having as its theme Germanic mythology and occultism.
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe Story and Setting
From the information that can be gleaned from the reveal trailer, we can begin to gather information about the story, theme, and setting of hex. The first important clue is in the codename title, hex, (Hek-sa) which translates simply as “Witch” in German. This alone has been enough to make many players believe that the game's setting will be Germany between the early 1620s and mid-1630s, and along with the translation at the end of the reveal trailer, there's more to There enough clues to suggest that the setting will be Germany.
Due to its speculated setting and the trailer's dark visuals, along with the use of the Alphabet of the Magi, we expect the game's story to largely revolve around the witch trials held by the Holy Roman Empire during this period of time. The setting, the tests and a good dose of occultism and mystery… and magic? – could create a rather dark experience compared to others Assassin's Creed games.
Marc-Alexis Côte has stated that hex It will be “a very different kind of Assassin's Creed game.” But what this means exactly is incredibly open to interpretation at the moment, although we do know that it will be the next 'flagship' of the series and that it is being developed by the team behind it. Valhalla as such. Many fans are hoping that the hidden aspects will present a more thriller or horror take on the franchise, and depending on how it's implemented, that's a possibility. hex and his new vision could fall even among the best horror games If you want to move away from the traditional formulas of Assassin's Creed.
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe Gameplay
While we can analyze the reveal trailer for clues about the game's story and setting, how exactly it plays out remains largely a big mystery. Although we expect the standard stealth and infiltration along with the intricate combat of Assassin's Creed games continue in some form, there are a few things worth noting about the game that could revolutionize the traditional style. AC formula.
in a interview with IGNCoté states that hex “It will not be a role-playing game” in an attempt to “bring more diversity to the places we choose to visit and how we choose to represent those periods.” So, we know for sure that the game will not play out similarly to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Odysseyeither origins. But Hexe's gender and length remain a mystery.
With the RPG elements removed, there are many potential routes the game could take, leading us to believe that a survival horror adventure game could be likely, if it doesn't follow old-school stealth routes either. Mirage also recovers.
Unusually, we have also not seen the killer or the game's protagonist, not even an outline or a silhouette. Since the game potentially takes place within the Holy Roman Emperor's witch trials, taking on the role of someone who is being tried or persecuted would be an incredibly interesting take on the game.
