Casting records leaked from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe have unveiled central narrative details, key characters, and historical locations for the upcoming video game. The leaked production material outlines a 16th-century German setting centered on a 25-year-old protagonist named Petra, who faces an antagonistic witch-hunting faction named The Order of the Lamb.
The documentation originated from casting calls conducted between 2023 and mid-2026 in Montreal, Canada, before surfacing on Sunday, October 4, 2026. The materials describe Petra as a “strong-willed, passionate woman in her mid-twenties” who resists social norms and becomes associated with witchcraft during a period of intense religious persecution.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe reveals family dynamics and supporting cast
The leaked files provide specific biographical descriptions for the protagonist’s family and local allies within historical Germany. Petra’s mother, Brigitte, is characterized as a midwife in her 40s with documentation suggesting an alleged ancestral tie to the Auditore lineage, while her father, Konrad, is identified as a deeply religious man who works as an executioner in the village of Neustadt. During the narrative, Petra finds refuge with Mother Gertrud, a 65-year-old former village healer who was cast out and accused of witchcraft after an epidemic struck her community.
The narrative also includes modern-day sequences featuring a character named Anna. The casting files describe Anna as “a driven, impatient career woman firing on all cylinders in a competitive work environment” who possesses no German heritage, indicating prospective roles within Abstergo Industries or the Animus Hub interface.
Augsburg setting and historical antagonists define the narrative
Geographical references in the leaked casting documentation establish the Bavarian city of Augsburg as a key hazardous location through which Petra travels. Throughout these environments, the protagonist is pursued by The Order of the Lamb, a sect dedicated to hunting accused witches. While industry observers have questioned whether The Order of the Lamb shares historical ties with the Templar Order, Ubisoft records do not officially confirm any structural connection between the two groups.

The name Petra itself may not serve as the character’s final identity in the finished product. Earlier production reports attributed the name Anika Adler to the central character, suggesting that both names functioned as temporary placeholders during iterative stages of pre-production.
Production changes at Ubisoft Montreal and key leak points
Ubisoft Montreal is directing the development of the title, which company leadership previously announced would adopt a darker tone and a linear narrative structure rather than the sprawling open-world role-playing systems seen in recent franchise releases. Project personnel adjustments have occurred over the production cycle, with Benoit Richer serving as the former development director and approximately 50 developers being reassigned during internal corporate restructuring.
