The in-development footage shared with the website showcases some of Elsa’s witchcraft abilities. In the footage, 16th-century German soldiers hunt the character. To escape them, she possesses a nearby cat. Players can then control the cat by smashing glass bottles to distract the soldier’s attention. The footage also depicts adark and gloomy settingto fit that era, opting for a linear experience akin to the older games.
Additionally, there are plans to add abrand new Fear Systemin the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Hexe. The development team is inspired by the Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Jack the Ripper DLC. In it, players can incapacitate groups of enemies by performing feats that instill fear into everyone around them. Honestly, this system works wonders for this setting, as Witch fear was a widespread problem throughout that era, to the point where suspected witches were put on trial and killed.
Furthermore, it begs the question: How does the entire Witchcraft lore tie into the story? We know the universe of Assassin’s Creed is all about technology and the supernatural. Maybe, Elsa is one of thegods reincarnatedinto a brand-new body in that era. It is hard to pinpoint the reason for such supernatural powers, but it is a concept I’m curious to explore.
