According to the leak, Annika/Elsa is a descendant of Claudia Auditore. The main setting will be Würzburg, but other locations will also be available for players to explore.
Ezio Auditore, according to sources, "is 100% returning." In dialogues, the heroine remarks: "This white hood is like in my mother's drawings," and Ezio replies: "She wanted you to have a life."
New lines from Ezio are also cited: "Go. Jump with me. One last time for an old man" and "People are always afraid of what they cannot control. We were also called demons. But remember, Elsa: 'Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito' ["Nothing is true – everything is permitted" – transl. from Italian]."
It is claimed that Ezio may appear in person, as an Isu artifact, or through flashbacks.
In Annika/Elsa's dialogues, it is also heard: "They call me a witch. They want to burn me for what I can do. For what I know."
According to j0nathan, Hexe's plot will be stronger than the recent installments of the series after Origins.
A character named Wolfgang will appear in the game. "Blood pacts" and a poisonous base are also mentioned.
The action will unfold in forests, where a tree-branch jumping skill will be available. Activities include searching for ritual sites and recovering stolen relics.
NPCs will instantly report suspicious activities. The leak also includes lines: "Form a circle, don't let her disappear," "They say the forest moves at night," and "Check the shadows! She couldn't have gone far."
