On October 6th, according to a report from gaming media mp1st, Ubisoft's game "Assassin's Creed: Witch" (referred to by the code name Hexe, which is not the official title) revealed new characters and plot details.

The message states that the game is set in 16th-century Germany, with the story focusing on local witch hunts and religious persecutions, giving it a darker tone compared to recent works in the series.

Regarding the protagonist, the news states that the female character in the game is named "Petra." She is around 25 years old, has a strong will, and is considered radical in her thinking. She may refuse to accept the traditional roles imposed by society, which could lead to her becoming involved in the main plot of the story.

Petra's mother, named Bridget, is a midwife who has studied herbal knowledge; she may also have connections to the Auditore family, which could make Petra a distant descendant of Ezio.

IT Note: The Auditore family is an important assassin family in the Assassin's Creed series. Family members include Ezio Auditore, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed II. The leaked information suggests that the protagonist of Assassin's Creed: Witch may have Auditore family ancestry, but Ubisoft has not officially confirmed this setting yet.

Conrad, on the other hand, is described as a pious and family-oriented man. He values religious orthodoxy and engages in a task that is referred to in the documents as a "dirty job."

The supporting characters include "Bruno," "Anton," "Johanna," "Theo," and "Erika." Another key figure is 65-year-old Gertrude, a former village doctor. After the outbreak of the plague and the lack of treatment options, the villagers accused Gertrude of being a witch, forcing her to leave the village and live in seclusion.

Gertrude once taught Bridget herbalism, therefore she had a connection with the Petra family. When Petra became a target of the 'Lamb Cult', Gertrude might have provided her with refuge.

Regarding the release date, industry insider NateTheHate stated that the game is not expected to be available until the second half of 2027 and may be released on platforms such as PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X /S, with a price of $70 (which is approximately 470 RMB at current exchange rates).
