Assassin's Creed Hexe's First DLC Reportedly Leaked — Witch Hunts Continue in Würzburg

A new leak has revealed the first major expansion for Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, and it appears Ubisoft isn't leaving the horrors of the German witch trials behind. According to insider reports, the game's first DLC will transport players to Würzburg, Bavaria—one of the most infamous locations in European history, where thousands were accused of witchcraft during the Würzburg witch trials of the 17th century.

The rumored expansion is expected to introduce a brand-new region centered around Würzburg, complete with its historic cathedral, fortified streets, and surrounding countryside. The setting perfectly matches the dark tone Ubisoft is reportedly pursuing with Assassin's Creed Hexe, which is widely believed to be the franchise's darkest entry yet. While Ubisoft has officially confirmed only that Hexe will take place during the era of the European witch hunts, multiple recent leaks have pointed specifically toward Bavaria as one of the game's primary locations.

According to the latest rumors, the DLC will expand both the story and gameplay by introducing new investigations, assassination targets, and additional fear-based mechanics. Previous leaks have already claimed that Ubisoft removed supernatural magic from the final game in favor of a grounded Fear System, allowing players to intimidate enemies through psychological tactics rather than mystical abilities. The Würzburg expansion is reportedly designed to build upon those mechanics while exploring one of the darkest chapters of European history.

It's important to note that Ubisoft has not officially announced this DLC, meaning all current details should be treated as rumors until the publisher confirms them. Even so, the reported setting has excited many Assassin's Creed fans, as Würzburg is considered one of the most historically significant locations associated with the witch hunts. If the leak proves accurate, the first expansion could deepen Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe's already grim atmosphere and make it one of the series' most historically grounded post-launch adventures.
