Hexe should be interesting. All these leaks say that Elsa has some kind of supernatural witch powers. One leak mentioned she can possess certain enemies with some kind of dark magic and make them do as she commands.
Same leaker said she can also possess some animals such as cats and crows, and use them to distract enemies.
It was also said that the game will feature very dark horror aesthetics and may also possible include demons or devil worship in some form.
Wait so basically it will be a christian version of what they thought witchcraft in the medieval ages was, aka satanistic worship and blasphemy? Eh, I guess it's just another Hollywood version of history then, probs shouldn't have expected more from Ubisoft...
@Violiina Well it is very much apparent in the teaser trailer already. The cryptic symbols around the pentagram have been deciphered by some fans and it forms a phrase that says something like "Mephisto, avenge us." In Germanic folklore Mephisto is a demon. Or in some cases its just another name for the devil.
Ubisoft’s truly spicy take: maybe the church actually was valid
@Violiina I can see what you mean though. I have a friend who is a witch and she has told me a lot about it. Then again I also like the dark satanistic imagery prevalent in popular culture depictions of witchcraft because I listen to a lot of heavy metal music.
So I'm kinda conflicted about it. I know it's wrong and innaccurate to depict witchcraft that way but at the same it also feels very much appealing to me.
Lacrosse - please don't say that or they'll find this and end up actually doing that in a game.
Will AC hexe be in englend?
Hexe is German, as is the name Elsa. I certainly hope not...
@Blixtkatt10 All the information known so far points it being set in the Holy Roman Empire during the 16th century. More specifically, it will be set in the area of Germany.
It is also known that Hexe is not a massive RPG. It will be a smaller more condensed title like Mirage.
What do you think?
