Did Ubisoft actually put a hidden teaser in Assassin’s Creed (AC) Black Flag Resynced as a massive hint for its next major title? Players recently discovered a hidden AC Hexe teaser inside the newly released AC Black Flag Resynced. Consequently, this unexpected Easter egg officially confirms Nuremberg, Germany, as a key location for the upcoming game.
The discovery initially gained traction on July 10, 2026. An X user shared screenshots of the teaser. He noticed a towering cathedral in the background. Initially, he guessed it was the Wurzburg Cathedral. However, the architecture actually represents a 1:1 recreation of Nuremberg’s St. Lawrence Cathedral (St. Lorenz). Therefore, this confirms Nuremberg as a playable city. Meanwhile, earlier rumors pointed heavily to Wurzburg. Since the two cities sit only 70 miles apart, AC Hexe will likely feature both locations.
Ma friends!!
Nadie habló de ello y vamos a ser los primeros…¿TEASER de AC HEXE en AC Black Flag Resynced?
Si no me equivoco, todo apunta a que SÍ.
En esta escena vemos referencias a los últimos AC y al fondo ¿la catedral de WURZBURG? (setting rumoreado de HEXE 👀) pic.twitter.com/Y5AohLN7OG

My friends!!
Nobody talked about it and we’re gonna be the first…
AC HEXE teaser in AC Black Flag Resynced? If I’m not mistaken, everything points to YES.
In this scene we see references to the latest ACs and in the background, the cathedral of WURZBURG (rumored setting of HEXE 👀)
The Animus Ego & Hidden AC Hexe Teaser
AC Black Flag Resynced recently altered the modern-day canon of the franchise. It replaced the original storyline with the “Animus Ego” system. Ubisoft first introduced this concept in AC Shadows. Inside this new content, developers deliberately staged the St. Lawrence Cathedral alongside other iconic franchise buildings.
Specifically, players can see an Egyptian Pyramid (Origins), a Greek Stoa (Odyssey), a Viking longhouse (Valhalla), a Japanese Castle (Shadows), and an Abbasid building (Mirage). Ultimately, this specific placement completely cements the cathedral’s importance in the modern AC era.
Leaks suggest AC Hexe will completely abandon the recent RPG formula. Instead, it will deliver a much darker, linear narrative. The story reportedly delves into the real-world horrors of Witch Hunt-era Germany.
Furthermore, leaks claim the protagonist is named Annika. She is supposedly a descendant of Ezio Auditore’s sister, Claudia. In addition, Ezio himself might make a return. Rumors indicate he will take on a mentor-esque role, likely utilizing advanced Isu technology to communicate.
Gamescom 2026: The Perfect Stage?
Currently, insiders expect a 2027 release date for AC Hexe. However, a full reveal could happen much sooner. Fans eagerly anticipate Gamescom 2026, which takes place next month in Cologne, Germany.
Revealing a Germany-based Assassin’s Creed game at a massive German gaming event creates perfect marketing synergy. Moreover, it would effectively capitalize on the massive momentum currently surrounding AC Black Flag Resynced.
