Rumor: Ubisoft’s Upcoming ‘Assassin’s Creed Hexe’ Will Be “The Gayest Assassin’s Creed Yet”

If it’s full of lesbian relationships then it’ll be violent as fuck.

my cake, fuck off
This shit doesn’t bother me. I don’t remember which AC this is from, but I remember a splash screen or codex that showed a picture of an ancient vase. This vase depicted students in class with a text basically saying “We know that historically, males and females were not taught together, but fuck it, we’re adding girls to this ancient vase.” Fucking bonkers.

I have an insider source that says Endymion has AIDS but is hiding it for now to avoid backlash.

Don't worry I vetted it myself so you can believe in it just fine.
That's neat, my dude. This Youtuber guy really rubs you the wrong way, I guess.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

This dude's already been wrong about things like removing Yasuke in Shadows.

Let's not give him even more air-time until more reliable sources corroborate this.

In the above video, Endymion shared, “I was also told that the next Assassin’s Creed, which is called Hexe, which is set during the Salem Witch Trials, was being internally claimed and get this, to be the gayest Assassin’s Creed yet.

“I’m told that it only has a single female protagonist and it’s also the most fantastical Assassin’s Creed yet,” he continued. “There will be lots of mysticism and will also have, as they said, very striking visuals. I don;t know if that means an entirely different art style or anything, but this is what I was told.”

Next, he said, “I was told it will still be an open world action game like the other ones, but from what I’ve been told it is the biggest departure yet for the series. My sources claim that Hexe is very, very female power oriented. We are talking lots of lesbian relationships and female characters. It has witch covens and apparently very little masculine presence within the game.”



I wonder if the working title is Assassin’s Creed: Scissors & Blades
Remember the CEO of U I just said they aren't pushing any political agendas.

Endymion exaggerates, but I don't have much trouble believing the basics. If the setting is the witch trials, it will naturally be a female-centric game, and it will be ripe for feminist messaging about how men are bad and women are wonderful. I mean, it's almost predictable. And it's Ubisoft, so I don't find it hard to believe at all.
We knew it was called Hexe years ago, and we know this is set during the witch trials, Endymion is talking like he has a scoop or something and it's BS

Edit: because it seems many haven't heard of this before:

He also said that Sony executives were surprised that Ghost of Yote starred a woman, it caught them off guard.

Come on, lol.

He's also saying that the game is being delayed to 2026, because yes, you show a trailer, announce a release year and a few days later delay it, makes perfect sense. And this rumour and loads more of his BS is infecting YouTube.

The issue is not about straight or gay sex but sex being a central theme in an Assassin's Creed game. This is fanfic territory or porn parody, depending on how far it goes.

As for Ghost of Yotei, there's no backlash to speak of. That shit is made up for clicks.
Exactly.

Although, right away an established game changing characters is a red flag. No different than if Tomb Raider suddenly changed from Lara Croft to Larry Croft.

Also, the main character is based on a loud and vocal queer person . Thats another warning sign the game may take on political motives just for the heck of it. But if GoY turns out to be a lesbian plot game instead of a mainstream action plot in ancient Japan, that's begging for the woke label.

But assuming, GoY is a straight up action adventure game like the first one but with a different and non-political topic story and main character, it should be fine. However, game studios should always weigh the risks between man vs woman leads pending the game and history of the franchise.

At this point he really should be a prohibited source on here.
Or you could just...close your eyes. Banning sources is what those bootlicking brown shirts do at the other place. Just laugh at someone running with a source from an outrage YouTuber and move about your day.

Allowing people to just lie and gain popularity for it runs against making a good quality discussion forum.

Resetera has a lot of issues, but one thing they did right was not having their members waste time on a leaker that's this fake.

Not only this but being a gender swap game plus with an activist leading actress.. the stupid mainstream media will eventually push buttons and ask questions that will drive this game into culture wars... the usual stupid questions that should not matter like "is she gay ? How gay is she ? Do you hate man ? Because man hate you.. do you care if they play the game ?" And so on ... if Sony dont choose to PR silence her and the devs it will eventually end in culture wars.

I personally wouldn't mind this game 10 years ago.. but right now Im just oversaturated with western girl boss games ... It might end up being really good... I just dont care... and GOT was my goty that year. IMHO just the gender swap alone will make this game sell less, without any of the culture wars, once that comes into the picture... well.

Allowing bullshit like this to be spread on the site degrades NeoGAF. Shows up in search results and makes people believe the people here are as stupid as the guy spreading the bullshit.

To have such contempt for the gender of the main character that it overrides you enjoying an amazing game is quite something

Good to know you are out on Hellblade 2, South of Midnight, and Fable

And if you follow Twitter, when grifters like this take over the discourse we’re one step away from Jewish conspiracies and “the Jews are making everyone gay”. It’s a downward spiral into complete brain rot.

In this particular case, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't ignore the red flags, but there are good reasons for the gender swap, one being that it's easier to differentiate from the previous game if the character is a woman. That should impact gameplay and the story. If the protagonist were another rogue male and the setting didn't change that much, the sequel would become too similar. The DLC of Infamous Second Son feels different because Fetch is the protagonist. I expect something along those lines.


About grifters, this Endymion guy is a whack but I don't find him any different from "more respected" assholes like Shinobi, Jason weasel Schreier and the whole progressive lot and those are cited as "reliable sources" despite their activism and their blatant lies, like the ones told in the Wukong media debacle.

%100.

There's a big difference between prohibiting sources because they offend some, and prohibiting "sources" that very clearly make things up for Twitter and YouTube cash.

This is a nuanced point and largely relies on reading the room and having social skills, so it's not surprising that it's not an easy grasp for some people.

Guys like Shinobi or Schreier may be annoying to talk to and have politics that we don't like or agree with, but they have a proven track record of reliability in news delivery. That's why people tolerate them, because there's gain to be had after the annoyance.

But a guy who is clearly just lying, AND is also pushing annoying and useless tripe into the discourse.. So there's zero gain from talking about his content, and it only furthers his lies.

Here's a great example of how YouTuber bullshit can be turned into "truth" by people who blindly believe it. There's an outrage culture war YouTuber who wears a mask and secretly runs a true 100% Neo-Nazi channel on Bitchute with a similar masked character. The takes his Neo-Nazi Bitchute scripts and re-uses them on YouTube, just swapping out his Neo-Nazi hate for "women", "SJWs", "woke", etc. A couple of years ago, he made up a fake "leaked" Indy 5 plot that got spread around places like 4chan and Reddit, and people believed it to be 100% real:

Marion appears toward the beginning of the movie and encourages Indy to come out of retirement for one last adventure. Mutt is mentioned but not seen in this scene.
Sallah appears for one scene (you can see him wearing a fez on the right of the pic)
Phoebe Waller Bridge is playing "Helena Brody", the granddaughter of Marcus Brody, and is quite possibly one of the most annoying characters put to screen. I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote her own lines. She constantly lectures Indy about his "privilege".
Harrison looks like he doesn't want to be there the entire movie.
Mads Mikkelsen is playing a younger version of Toht from the first film and he does a decent job.
Antonio Banderas is probably the best part of this movie and thats probably the only reason his character's death had any impact. he sacrifices himself to save Indy and Helena right before they get sent back in time.
The main McGuffin is a golden clock that's the key to an ancient time portal. A group of neo-Nazis is trying to track it down before Indy can. First they go to ancient Rome for a bit but they go back through and end up in 1933.
A significant chunk of the movie is set in 1933 and the main "trio" is old Indy, Helena, and younger Indy.
In my screening, the movie ends with young Indy sacrificing himself to save Helena, causing old Indy to fade away like Marty does in BTTF. Helena picks up his hat and the movie ends with a montage of her in iconic Indiana Jones scenes set to the John Williams score.
The movie also had a "Helena will return" thing at the end sort of like what Marvel movies do.

To this day there are people even on this forum who believe that YouTube bullshit made up by a literal Neo-Nazi is the real plot of the movie, which has been out for more than a year at this point.
 
I mean, I really feel like this place has moved towards normalizing bigotry as of late.
I'm not even gay and I sometimes feel weird posting here, some folks took not being far left as an excuse to just be awful human beings. It's become predictable, a game with a female lead gets announced we get at least 3 threads yapping about it, some users here really feel attacked with every game announcement lmao Like, what do they play at the end of the day? Duke Nukem from '91?

One thing I have discovered lately is that very surprising amount of people watch youtubers talk about games or movies then act like they experienced it themselves back in the day and regurgitate the exact same nitpicks. It's a weird way of acting like they were there or something? I just don't understand it

Also I watched Indy 5 in theaters and while the film isn't amazing, that summary is just utterly hilarious. Amazing what some people will believe just because they heard on YouTube.

There are now people who don't believe space is real and that we landed on the moon because they heard in on Joe Rogan.

I remember when Returnal came out there was a fake leak about the plot. It had a list of topics describing how Selene was doing therapy because she was divorcing from her lesbian relationship and space was the psychotherapist’s office. Of course people here were already outraged how “typical woke Sony” this was supposed to be.


This is not new. It’s just spreading very fast. Any of these YouTube videos has half a million views.

I don't think that this was a thing for real, but I can see people saying something in a meeting

...and since Shadows is getting a big backlash, chances are that this is a sign to them to pull the plug

I’m guessing some of you like your man meat, but I’m all about some lesbian witch action.
My Kassandra in AC Odyssey was a lesbian slut that hooked up with every attractive woman in the game.

Yep, and if you got half a mil views on your 1st big lie video, that incentivizes you to keep lying and maintain that audience you built.

No one is checking on the content's accuracy, and if you take the time to do so, you get called "obsessed" and a hater.

And the next thing you know we will be banning milquetoast reviewers like Skillup, content creators like Angry Joe, and games like Hogwarts legacy.
They don't lie about having inside sources about upcoming games tho.

Way to miss the point. All of these benign sources of media were banned on Resetera because someone decided they didn't like them. I was here before this place went full retard and had to course correct post migration. These stepping stones you are proposing are the first step to going right back.

So this is total bullshit.

The Salem Witch Trials took place in 17th century America. We knew that Hexe was going to be set in witch burning Europe even before AC Shadows was officially revealed as AC Red. Insider Gaming reaffirmed that earlier this year in the following:


16th century Germany.

Secondly, this idiot is using the exact sane language used to describe the latest Disney+ talking point: Agatha All Along. No doubt capitalizing on the current "controversy" which is really just indifference with that.

There's a huge difference between banning a source of information for wrong think and banning a basement virgin spewing 100% bullshit into a webcam just because the YouTube algorithm rewards him with money to pay for his body pillows.

It's really frustrating. There are so many legitimate complaints on these exact topics, but a default setting of "Spurned and Outraged" is not helpful, insightful, or welcoming.

Many people lack the genuine ability to think in the abstract, and so shovel whatever is in front of them into a maximum of two buckets - my team or the other team.

Then they get so strident in their complaints that no normies want to listen. Around we go.
