Rally the Creed Episode 1 TOWCB Highlights Podcasts Share 24 Apr 2023 Written By: Edited By: Colum Blackett (Col_96) Michael Doyle Back To Database We here at TOWCB admin team have been overwhelmed by the positive community reaction to the launch of our latest project: Rally the Creed video podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fm3zWTQznA Each episode of Rally the Creed (2023+) will be released in three versions: Video, Audio and Transcript, as to create a more personal experience, and allow for viewers to enjoy the podcast in multiple ways. The second and most important change is host rotation, as we plan on getting different members of TOWCB Team to host each episode. We hope that this new and exciting structure keeps the podcast fresh, and helps it to stand out from other fan projects. The new series will cover a huge range of topics relating to the Assassin's Creed series, and give a voice to community members. For some, the podcast will provide the opportunity to step out of the shadows for the first time, and introduce themselves to the community, whilst for others, it becomes a meeting place for long-time fans of the series to discuss all things Assassin's Creed. In episode #1 , Col and Michael from TOWCB Core Team discuss Assassin's Creed Mirage, the new podcast format and choices in Assassin's Creed. Highlights 1 - Explaining the new formula. We kicked off our new podcast by outlining the changes we have made since it's original launch to make it stand out in the community. We are committed to giving Assassin's Creed community members a platform from which they can share their thoughts and feelings, in order to spark meaningful discussions. Here we see Col from the admin team explaining host rotation and our hopes of creating a social hangout for fans of the franchise. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/06e6c8_5caa468f7fa344b9927222b3a4a9ffe0/720p/mp4/file.mp4 2 - Why Assassin's Creed Mirage needs to be a success Michael and Col discuss the damaging effects of neglecting a marketing campaign, and the importance for Ubisoft to end the silence regarding Assassin's Creed Mirage and provide clarity on the current status of the game. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/06e6c8_a1325881fbb348f9ba0558a39fadf6c8/720p/mp4/file.mp4 3 - Assassin's Creed Infinity should look at adding content to older games. In this snippet, Col discusses the potential of the Assassins' Creed Infinity platform to one day become the home of all things Assassin's Creed, and add content to previously released titles to encourage fans to return and play. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/06e6c8_68fde5bd65e64dc480ffa73ad0b3a78c/720p/mp4/file.mp4 4 - Assassin's Creed Mirage needs to return to the roots of Assassin's Creed Michael outlines the need for Assassin's Creed Mirage to return the series to its roots, in a way that feels authentic and deliberate. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/06e6c8_433579f97eac407e9f042b4863a30553/720p/mp4/file.mp4 5 - Michael pitches the idea of an Assassin's Creed with consequences. Talking about the future of the series, Michael pitches the idea of choices and their impact upon the world. Should Ubisoft focus on pushing the series forward, adding meaningful decisions that have real repercussions on the game could change the series for the better, making players weigh-up options and think before acting in-game. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/06e6c8_e06a5f795cc84cbdb7f3a5341c8db015/720p/mp4/file.mp4 6 - Swear Word Censoring We conclude by showcasing our new swear word censoring, which aims to assassinate all cursing in a very on-brand way, courtesy of our video-editor FrameHoldPhotography! See it in action during this hilarious rampage by Michael listing the many problems he found whilst watching the Halo TV series. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/06e6c8_d4eba87b01b1493c8558e02517ea7000/720p/mp4/file.mp4 Thanks for watching!

This Week in Assassin’s Creed Virtual Photography: 27th to 5th March Community Share 7 Mar 2023 Written By: Edited By: Aaron Young Ashlea Blackett Back To Database Welcome to the weekly virtual photography roundup hosted by Aaron Young from The AC Partnership Program. Every week I will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community. Aaron is a keen virtual photographer and loves to post his journeys through Assassin’s Creed on Twitter. Keep an eye on the site as more weekly shots are added, we are looking for captures across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to the #TOWCBWeeklyCapture for a chance to be featured. This week’s theme: Assassin’s Creed Havi Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla VP Artist: @ Jonnybubs We start this week with a shot that reminds me of promotional artwork for Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The colours are so deep and inviting. I am loving the depth of field, bringing that striking shield into focus. It helps that the sun is reflecting off the shield elevating this shot even further. I have to mention the Bifrost in the distance too, almost looks like a rainbow. The Last Kingdom Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla VP Artist: @ Spiggy_Smalls This shot stood out as it reminds me of the TV show The Last Kingdom. I can imagine Eivor or Uhtred entering Winchester. I adore the viewpoint for this capture, being hidden within the foliage looking on as Eivor enters the city. The environment is just so captivating, you can see effort the team have put in to build the perfect medieval world. Link: https://twitter.com/spiggy_smalls/status/1630534329376952320?s=46&t=rIujpeSq9644fgpRWA_xMA The Ones Who Came Before Photo of the Week. Judge: UbiCypher Incredibly stunning and smooth. It is as if we are looking at an official screenshot for the game. The picture seems to come to life and the moment of the castle's turmoil is perfectly captured almost like a piece of artwork. Leap of Faith Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins VP Artist: @ SLICK_R392 Bayek jumping into a hay bale is next up for this week's showcase. I am surprised we don't see more shots like this considering how iconic the leap of faith is. I really like how Bayek is in line with the birds, it makes him look like he is flying. Great colours on this shot too with the deep blue of the sky and the sandy haze creeping in. Enter the Tomb Raider Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins VP Artist: @ kevinphotomode This shot featured as TOWCBPhoto0fTheDay and I could not resist entering it in the weekly showcase. The framing is perfect with Bayek waiting at the entrance, torch in hand. I have to applaud Kevin too, without the ability to take portrait shots in Origins he has aced it. Reminds me of some key art from Origin's launch with Bayek entering a tomb. Protector of these Lands Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey VP Artist: @ KeenEyeVP We end this week with a shot I have been a little obsessed with since noticing it in the community. For me it’s one of the best edits I have seen, truly beautiful. Fantastic choice of background and outfit. Kassandra is one of the most powerful characters in the series and this shot is a perfect ode to that. Nice addition of the Odyssey logo in the bottom corner, really caps off the photo. And that sums it up for this week’s Assassin’s Creed virtual photography recap list! Thank you for checking out this week’s photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them. Until next week keep those shots coming in! comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Assassin’s Creed Virtual Photography: 17th to 28th February Community Share 8 Dec 2024 Written By: Edited By: Aaron Young Back To Database Welcome to the biweekly virtual photography roundup hosted by Aaron Young from the AC Partnership Program. Every two weeks we will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community. This theme has been run alongside @WonDerNooB_VP an avid Assassin’s Creed fan and virtual photographer. RS has been actively posting and participating in Assassin’s Creed VP for quite a while now. Their support to #ACFirstCivVP has been much appreciated, and we could not wait to team up with RS for this theme. Keep an eye on the site as more shots are added, we are looking for captures across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to #ACFirstCivVP for a chance to be featured. Theme: Symmetry Three in a Row Game: Assassin’s Creed Mirage VP Artist: @wingsforsmiles The Ones Who Came Before Photo of the Week Judge: @WonDerNooB_VP RS I especially love Wingsforsmiles fourth picture with the merchant boats, it’s an easily overlooked subject for composition, just very pleasing to the eye overall. I like the different colours against a neutral backdrop, and a great use of the rule of threes. Aaron When RS mentioned about running a symmetry theme, I was slightly nervous as this style a can be particularly tricky. The great thing though is our community clearly do not, and we have seen some really stunning shots. This week’s winner fits the theme alongside a dash of minimalism. I see moments like this one all the time but can never find the right composition. Here we can see a master class in how to produce symmetry in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Often details like this are overlooked as we sneak around the map, but if you take the time to explore there is much beauty to the environment. Wingsforsmiles has definitely produced a work of art here. Fly By Game: Assassin’s Creed Mirage VP Artist: @ mnt13.bsky.social Of all the Assassin’s Creed entries of late, I would probably say Mirage has the most opportunities for symmetry. The care and attention to detail from Ubisoft is clear to see. The cultural buildings and their ornate design are so pleasing on the eye. This shot from m is a beauty, thanks to some really epic timing. The composition is perfect, framing the arch and that gorgeous design on it. The shadow of Enkidu is wonderful and adds a real majesty to the capture, it must have been really tricky on the timings. What I love most though is the warm colour palette and how it elevates the details of the photo. The Lay of the Land Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey VP Artist: @ sparbuck47.bsky.social Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a rich entry to the series providing us with a lot of places to explore. I personally found it overwhelming and never got round to playing the DLC’s. When I see captures like this though I know I have probably missed out. What a jaw dropping piece of virtual photography this is. It is helped massively by the height which I assume was possible thanks to Ikaros. Once again, the composition is great with all the sections lining up to meet the symmetry brief. The green and blue tones are really giving me that Greek vibe. What steals the show though is the use of the frame, it makes me feel like I am looking at some hidden map from an Indian Jones movie. Summer Vibes Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins VP Artist: @ dpruttz-vp.bsky.social I think wandering the deserts of Assassin’s Creed Origins was probably one of the most visually stunning and peaceful moments I have experienced in gaming. Ubisoft nailed the Egyptian world and that’s one of the reason why this game was so successful. Dave has really captured the essence of Origins with this exquisitely minimal shot that also hits the symmetry theme nicely. I just love the colours in this photo. The blue and the yellow working together to give you that summer vibe. Not your classic Assassin’s Creed capture but these games have so many ways to take a photo and that’s why you see so much virtual photography from them. Sneaky Basim Game: Assassin’s Creed Mirage VP Artist: @ charapof.bsky.social I still find it wild that Assassin’s Creed Mirage was originally a DLC for Valhalla. I am so glad that Ubisoft Bordeaux were allowed to make this a standalone entry. Mirage does share a lot of similarities to Valhalla, but it always feels so different to capture. This photo is both fun and well taken. The metal pattern in front of our hero, looks intricate and casts some great shadows on Basim's face. I like how his outfit pops with colour, especially the green, given its relevance to the character. Basim is clearly sneaking up on an enemy here and I love how you can just see one eye peering through. And that sums it up for this Assassin’s Creed virtual photography recap list! Thank you for checking out the photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them. Until next time keep those shots coming in! comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

The Potential Of Assassin's Creed Netflix Other Share 21 Oct 2025 Written By: Edited By: Hayden Bird Colum Blackett Back To Database Ubisoft announced a partnership with Netflix back in October of 2020 to bring an Assassin’s Creed series to its platform, and has plans to create a live-action TV show, an animated series and potential future projects under further consideration based on the deep lore of the franchise. It has been a long awaited and heavily anticipated project that has mostly stalled since its announcement, but according to recent reports, the show is very much in active development and getting closer to fruition. Fan Castings for the AC Netflix Show This news is exciting for fans of the franchise as we got the 2016 Assassin's Creed feature film from 20th Century already, but the concept was short-lived even though multiple sequels were planned before the release of the film but were shelved during Disney’s major acquisition of 20th Century Fox back in 2019 that shook up a lot of Fox projects that were in development and were left with uncertainty due to the acquisition. Since those cancellations, the movies and television version of the Assassin’s Creed franchise has been mostly dormant, but news of this Netflix adaptation gives the franchise a new story to tell and new characters to introduce. It has loads of potential, and Ubisoft is sure to exercise the amount of content they can create under the Netflix umbrella. Details of the upcoming live-action Assassin’s Creed show is mostly unknown, but this is clearly an advantage to the creators at Ubisoft and Netflix as the wide range of story angles they can reach is almost unlimited potential while avoiding leaks. This partnership with Netflix opens a lot of doors for Ubisoft that they may not have had in their first attempt to the big screen in 2016. The creative control seems to be heavily in Ubisoft’s favor, and there is so much more the creators can do with the Assassin’s Creed IP with the potential of several seasons of both the live-action and animated shows. Ubisoft has a lot of options they can take over the next years while partnered with Netflix. The fact is that two major projects are only just the beginning. The live-action show could very well become a hit and turn into a flagship original series to Ubisoft and Netflix’s name that Netflix has become so famous for in creating powerful original content they frequently produce. It is certain that Ubisoft and Netflix will prioritize the first two projects before considering other shows, but a few years down the line, if these shows become a success, the content Ubisoft could produce with Netflix can become a media-giant in the television form just as Assassin’s Creed is the same for the world of video games. Ubisoft has potential to continue their big screen plans for the Assassin’s Creed franchise even after the cancellation of the 2016 movie sequels. Ubisoft may take another shot at the cinema concept, as some recent reports suggest the creators are looking to try venturing into films again. This idea of a film could either be a Netflix original movie or completely separate and with a different studio tagged on to release in movie theaters again. There's plenty of possibilities to be found, and it is clear the future of Assassin’s Creed can go further than video games. Potentially becoming a staple in the industry for their film and television plans just as they are in the gaming world. The reports and ideas that Ubisoft has clearly expanded the franchise to a whole new level. While video games are still the main focus, film and TV could be just as important as an aspect if the creators of the Netflix series can captivate the audience with a very worthy adaptation that could create new fans who may not be huge gamers, but love the products created on screen. It is a possibility to attract viewers and build new fans of the franchise even to those unfamiliar with the games. Fans could be encouraged to try the games after what Ubisoft and Netflix end up putting together. Poster for the Assassin's Creed Movie (2016) While the only confirmed projects are the live-action and animated shows, there can be so much more to this partnership that many do not expect. Many gaming franchises have gotten new life and created new fans based on their television adaptations, such as Fallout on Prime Video or The Last of Us on HBO, which were already popular brands but built a fanbase outside of the gaming industry. Ubisoft has a chance to make a show seriously impactful that further grows the recognition of the Assassin’s Creed franchise in whole new ways. Other video games turned into TV shows have been successful, so Ubisoft venturing into this field now can lead to great possibilities to further cement the Assassin’s Creed series as the juggernaut it currently is, even currently without a major presence outside of gaming. Ubisoft and Netflix are choosing to expand the Assassin’s Creed brand to the small screen at a perfect time, as for years video games getting an on-screen adaptation always went to the cinemas, which started a trend of video game movies being disappointments at the box office and financially. This trend really started with the Super Mario Bros . movie in 1993 that created an ongoing trend of failures that many believed to be a curse. That is until developers chose to attempt the small screen for once, and that’s when video game adaptations finally caught on. The answer was trying the land of television rather than just movies every single time. Ubisoft and Netflix developing these shows now is smart to catch on to ongoing hype surrounding video games adapted to TV shows. It is the perfect time to capitalize on the success that most adaptations are receiving, giving the creators an advantage to get off to a strong start with their projects. It is safe to say Ubisoft is in good hands with a group like Netflix working with them, and the possibilities of these shows can grow so far beyond what they would be now. There is nearly limitless potential for the two groups to come up with something successful and further show why the Assassin’s Creed brand is regarded as a franchise with a bright future, even 18 years into its existence. The franchise is in some ways just getting started despite being a gaming icon for many years. With the Netflix partnership and many other ways to grow the brand outside gaming, the Assassin’s Creed series is here to stay.

New Assassin's Creed Shadows Fall Roadmap Full Breakdown Breakdown Share 25 Oct 2025 Written By: Edited By: Zephryss Colum Blackett Back To Database Ubisoft has finally revealed the new Fall Roadmap for Assassin's Creed Shadows. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming to Assassin's Creed Shadows in the next few months. Parkour Update 2 The new Parkour will be released on October 28. This update will feature a new toggle option named "Advanced Parkour". It will remove all parkour barriers, allowing players to do side ejects and back ejects from any height. There will be some tweaks with side eject on parkour down, giving players more freedom of expression. The vertical ledge grab in regular parkour will now work in more situations, including non-standing objects, whether or not the advanced parkour toggle is on. From those non-standing objects, developers are also introducing a new beam manual jump option and reintroducing a much-requested feature called the directional catch ledge mechanic. Corrupted Castles A new Animus themed activity called Corrupted Castles will also be released on October 28. Any previously completed castle may get corrupted and filled with Animus anomalies, including Samurai Daisho and their corresponding reward chests. Up to five Corrupted Castles will appear on the map each season, allowing players plenty of opportunities to reengage those castles and higher levels of play for even greater rewards. Free Story Drops The 3rd story drop called "A Puzzlement” will be released on November 25th. This quest has a much more humorous, silly tone, much more akin to something like AC Odyssey, in which players are digging up old foes from Naoe's past who are looking for a bit of redemption. As the name suggests, "A Puzzlement", also introduces a brand new and intricate environmental puzzle which will include some Isu content. Yes, Ubisoft has heard the AC community, and they are finally adding Isu content to Assassin's Creed Shadows. The two protagonists will also learn new skills from each other: Naoe will learn how to perform her own spectacular version of Yasuke's war kick ability. Yasuke will learn how to stealthily dispatch enemies in a non-lethal way. The next special collaboration will also be released on November 25th and It will be something big. Ubisoft has also announced that there will be more surprises including new finishers, special missions, animus-themed rewards, and store content until the end of this year. AC Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 Assassin's Creed Shadows is coming on the Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2nd. It will have all the recent updates and free content drops, except for the Claws of Awaji Expansion that will come later in the new year. It will also work with cross-progression to Ubisoft Connect, so players will be able to pick up where you left off. Switch 2 also offers a new way to play with touch screen features in all menus including world map, store and hideout. What do you think about the new Fall Roadmap for Assassin's Creed Shadows?

AC Community Questions: Phie // CaptureCreed Interview Share 25 Feb 2026 Written By: Edited By: Phie // Capture Creed Colum Blackett Back To Database Welcome back to another article in our Assassin's Creed Community Questions series, made up of interviews with Assassins based around the world. This week, we are joined by Phie / CaptureCreed , who joined our Assassin's Creed Partnership program as a Video Content Creator in early 2026, best known for her TikTok video edits. Col: Hi Phie, thank you for joining me for this interview. Please could you tell us a little bit about yourself and your role within the Assassin's Creed Community. Phie: Hi, my name is Sophie (or Phie online) and I’m 24 from Ireland. I’m a full time barista, with a degree in Cinematic Arts. My hobbies include editing, writing, acting, and singing. I have edited/directed many short films in university, but it was only after that, that I began making Assassin’s Creed edits. There was a slight learning curve (despite having editing experience) when it came to making “edits”, rather than longer, slower paced content I did in university. I’ve been doing it for just over two years now, and I’m so glad I started. I am very excited to be part of the team, and can’t wait to see where this takes me! Sophie (Phie) Col: Do you have a favourite piece of content? Phie: Probably has to be the interview with Roger Craig Smith. The guy has voiced so much, and voice acting is one thing I’ve thought about exploring, so it was really cool to see that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLI3iAj5fPeArRw2J-Ou2Wm01WUaBYQkeJ&v=5qjMRKFHaWo Col: How excited are you for the future of Assassin’s Creed? Phie: I am always eager to see what Ubisoft will release next. I am a huge history buff (one reason I love the Assassin’s Creed franchise so much) I always look forward to seeing what time period and setting will be explored next! Col: Which Assassin’s Creed game have you been playing recently, and which game are you playing next? Phie: I have been replaying Origins, and plan to replay Mirage as I haven’t gotten round to playing the free DLC that was released a few months ago. Col: Have you visited any of the locations from the games? Phie: I have not unfortunately! Although I do plan to go to Italy and Greece sometime in the future. Col: Which Assassin’s Creed game is your favourite and why? Phie: My favourite Assassin’s Creed Game is Black Flag. The setting, the sailing, and the story (I love a good redemption arc) is what I loved most about it. Nothing beats exploring the Caribbean, especially as a pirate. Promo image for AC IV Black Flag Col: Have you attended any events within the Assassin’s Creed community? Phie: I have not attended any events unfortunately, but I definitely would if the opportunity arose. Col: Do you have a favourite Assassin’s Creed Community moment/story you’d like to share? Phie: I don’t have a specific moment per se, but what stands out most for me is experiencing how supportive the AC community is towards smaller creators. If it wasn’t for the support from my mutuals, I don’t think my account would have grown as it has. Likewise, they have helped to motivate and inspire me-I’m always trying to improve. Col: What would be your dream setting for the upcoming AC Netflix show or future games? Phie: I think an Assassin’s Creed game based in Amsterdam, specifically the Dutch Golden Age, would be a great maritime-style setting. The city itself is packed with tall buildings-perfect for parkour (like AC Unity) and the canals would be reminiscent of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. The port was huge for trade worldwide, with the Dutch East Indian Company perhaps playing the Templar role. I believe it has solid foundations for a good AC story. Col: Do you have any personal AC goals you’d like to achieve? Phie: I’ve always wanted to meet/interact a few of the voice actors - I almost got to meet Matt Ryan (who voices Edward Kenway) at Comicon, but because of circumstances at the time I couldn’t go. Col: What would you say is your most significant community achievement to date? Phie: It has to be when Ubisoft Deutschland and Ubisoft UK commented on two of my edits - it felt like a huge achievement that they had even seen it, never mind commenting! Col: What is your favourite part of being a community member? Phie: Honestly just finding a group of people who like Assassin’s Creed as much as I and being able to interact and discuss the games. The editing community is so strong on TikTok, and we all support each other’s work. I began editing as just a hobby, and never expected to be apart of such a big community. It’s a great feeling receiving that recognition and have people enjoy your work, that’s for sure! Col: Do you collect AC merchandise? If so, what’s your favourite item? Phie: I collect a bit! I have all of the novels, some posters, etc. But my favourite definitely has to be my Edward Kenway cosplay. I haven’t had the opportunity to wear it to any events/cons-yet! Col: What advice do you have for people looking to get into content creation, in particular, video editing and recording. Phie: Generic answer: just do it. The only regret you’ll have is not starting sooner. Even if it’s at a baseline level, content creation is a great tool for pursuing what you’re passionate about, whilst also providing an incentive to improve your work. I’ve found I’ve improved so much more because I’m posting online; it’s nice to put your work somewhere. Col: Where can our community members find you online? Phie: @Capturecreed is my handle for both my TikTok and Instagram. comments debug Comments (1) Write a comment Write a comment Sort by: Newest Mr Tom Mar 29 Loved reading this conversation, it’s always great getting to know more about the people behind TOWCB.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Greek Glory Breakdown Share 24 Jun 2025 Written By: Edited By: Hayden Bird Colum Blackett Back To Database When Assassin’s Creed Odyssey launched worldwide in October of 2018, many fans and gamers alike were eager to see how the developers at Ubisoft would take the franchise next after a major series reboot began with the previous game, Origins. 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins was a major success for Ubisoft and served as a solid and necessary rethinking of the overall franchise. The series was in dire need of something new after the financial disappointment of 2015’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate which was a direct fan response after many gamers starting feeling that the series itself had run its course after a near decade of its existence, and was badly needing fresh and new life into it. Ubisoft followed the path of a full reboot and after the positive reception from both critics and fans of Assassin’s Creed Origins , Ubisoft had serious momentum heading into 2018. Promo image for Assassin's Creed Odyssey showing Alexios Before the announcement of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey , fans were not even expecting a new game in the series that year as Ubisoft pointed out the need to pause their old strategy of annual installments, as they released a new Assassin’s Creed game every year since 2008 at the time. The series took a full year off before Origins released, and many fans expected much of the same, a quiet 2018 with a potential release the year after. Ubisoft surprised fans at E3 2018 by announcing Odyssey . Fans were very excited to finally be able to explore the heavily requested historical location of Ancient Greece. Odyssey was set to build upon everything that was great and loved with Origins . The fan feedback was positive of the reboot with new RPG style gameplay elements and more advanced character customization than previous games experienced. Ubisoft set themselves up in a good position to deliver with Odyssey and clearly understood they simply had to expand on what everyone enjoyed with its predecessor rather than changing up the format too much again. Ubisoft was in prime position to capitalize on their own success, and they did just that. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was also a significant first in the series. The ability to choose a character to play as. Ubisoft tried this idea in 2015 with Assassin’s Creed Syndicate by allowing players to switch between a male and female character, but this was the first time you could play as your chosen protagonist for the entire game. Odyssey also allowed gamers to play as a female protagonist for the very first time. The character, named Kassandra, was the fan favorite amongst the pair, while the second playable character was a male named Alexios. The story of the game made it so you choose your own character, but the character you do not select still plays a significant part in the game itself, that way no character is being forgotten. Players also loved the option to choose your own dialogue responses in game. It took the RPG side of the game to a whole new level, as the game before, Origins , did not have an option to select a variety of dialogue choices and featured a single male protagonist, whereas Odyssey switched things up and gave players their own freedom to choose a character of their liking. So, Seeing these big changes for the first time really excited fans all around the world. Promo image for Assassin's Creed Odyssey (2018) showing the Cult of Cosmos Assassin’s Creed Odyssey also took different parts of their game and made them bigger and better than before. The game's map was larger than that of any prior game in the Assassin’s Creed series, by quite a lot as well. The map was measured to its full length at 250 square kilometers. A good example of how big this map really was is that if, in game, you made your way through the map from end to end, it would take you two full hours to make it across. The map was unique and was full of famous Greek islands and the many spots of ocean which is known as the Mediterranean Sea in Greece. In the game, the player could earn and acquire a ship to sail across the many plots of the ocean spread out across the map, making traversing the playable area a lot faster and smoother. The fan feedback of this large map was mostly positive, as some loved having such a massive area of land and sea to explore, while others argued the time spent travelling across the map to your different quest objectives got exhausting and they’d rather be able to quickly maneuver the map. But overall, the idea and reality of such a large playable area was appreciated by the fans. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey had many great parts to not only its story, but gameplay as well, but one area of the games fans enjoyed a lot was the DLC, short for downloadable content, that was released and added onto the games story ending. The DLC story arcs were split into chapters where one chapter would be released at a time and fans would have to wait to continue their adventure until the time the next chapter released. The story DLCs were very admired by fans who spent the extra money on the game's season pass in order to get access to these missions. The DLC features two main storylines that were each split up into three chapters. The DLCs were called ‘Legacy of the First Blade’ which told the story of how the famous and iconic signature weapon used by the Assassins in the series that was known as the hidden blade, came to be in the world. The second DLC was called ‘The Fate of Atlantis’ which focused around the fabled underwater kingdom of Atlantis. Both of these expansions were well received and offered the players additional hours of new gameplay after the completion of the main story. Promo image for 'Legacy of the First Blade' The season pass of the game also offered an incentive for fans to spend the extra money on it as it offered a remaster of the 2012 game Assassin’s Creed III along with the standalone expansion, Liberation . The remaster and expansion were later offered as a separate purchase outside the season pass, but it goes to show how much content Ubisoft packed into these DLCs. Two major story expansions along with a remaster of a fan-favorite game in the series. It was a serious payoff for fans who spent the extra money to get access to these great additions to the game. Ubisoft put all their effort into not only the game, but the future of it and player experience post-launch. It is safe to say that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was a very strong follow-up to a massively successful series reboot. Ubisoft took the correct path by building off the momentum they created a year before, but to still add new things and different changes that were fresh to gamers and made it a worthy journey into Ancient Greece. Ubisoft played their cards right in trying to continue to satisfy longtime fans, but to also introduce new players who could’ve been unfamiliar with the series, and Odyssey was their first experience in the franchise. It catered to all fans both new and returning. Odyssey will certainly be remembered for a long time, as it set the bar high for similar games and the Assassin’s Creed series as a whole. It managed to please fans who were looking to enjoy more of what its predecessor offered, but also include unique elements that made it feel like a true and full mainline Assassin’s Creed game that it certainly was.

Assassin's Creed Hexe Fan Theme Released Other Share 15 Aug 2025 Written By: Edited By: Charlie Cooper TOWCB Team Back To Database We are pleased to release Coven", an original fan theme inspired by the upcoming Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, written and produced by Charles Cooper from The Ones Who Came Before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=RDRYTPLRu7V-I&v=RYTPLRu7V-I Best described in the writer of the track’s own words: “Coven is a reimagining of Ezio’s Family by Jesper Kyd and the Assassin’s Creed III theme by Lorne Balfe, two of my favorite franchise scores. I blend them into a haunting piece inspired by the dark tone of Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, drawing on my love for composers like Hans Zimmer who fuse nostalgic melodies with tension and scale.” Assassin's Creed Hexe is set to shift the tone of the franchise, supposedly acting as the darkest game in the series so far, and we here at TOWCB think that this fan theme by Charlie captures the eeriness of the setting which was teased in the Hexe reveal announcement. The game is expected to release in 2026 or 2027, and we can't wait to learn more about the mysterious next entry! What did you think of the cover?

Every week, we will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community. Aaron is a keen virtual photographer and loves to post his journeys through Assassin’s Creed on Twitter. Keep an eye on the site as more weekly shots are added, we are looking for capture across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to the #TOWCBWeeklyCapture for a chance to be featured. This week we have our 12 month special, you will find 1 shot from the last 6 months ranked by myself. There were so many wonderful captures over the months it really was a difficult task picking out 6. 1. Nordic Adventure Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Month: September 2022 The winning shot comes from @ _ Virtualtourism This shot resonates with me as I feel it is the essence of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. When looking at this capture all I can think of/hear is Out of the North by Jesper Kyd. That stunning sky takes me back to my first time on the game, memories that I will never forget. I have said it many times before Valhalla has such beautiful scenery. The composition is o n point, I am lo ving Eivor stood atop of the mountain with the hood up and torch in hand. 2. A Hero’s Tale Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins Month: August 2022 2nd Place goes to @ Jakeste66386991 This is probably one of the best send-off shots you could hope to take. It is my pick for August 2022 because I feel it signifies how I felt at the end of Assassin's Creed Origins. This capture is so gorgeous, the silhouette of Bayek walking off into the sunset is a real delight. I remember at the time being a fan of the b order too, as it makes the shot stand out. That sun though is something else. 3. Valhalla Awaits Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Month: December 2022 3rd Place goes to @ Petanni If Ubisoft ever wanted a photo to signal the end of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it's this one. The colours of this shot are tremendous. I really can't get enough of those autumnal trees. There is something poetic about Eivor walking off into the countryside dressed as an Assassin. No one really knows what's in store for Eivor, but sometimes its best left to the imagination. 4. Outsider Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Month: October 2022 4th place goes to @ punkncreed I love this shot because it resembles both Assassin and Viking. I adore the use of depth of field in this image drawing your focus to Eivor, with the background slightly blurred. The mist and the flickers of light are such small details but add a great deal to the ambiance of this capture. Eivor feels like an outsider here, someone trying to go about their work incognito. 5. Pirate Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Month: November 2022 5th place goes to @ PodToGo Next up we have one of many awesome Kenway outfit shots from PodToGo. I was surprised how well this legacy outfit fits the time period of Valhalla. You have to admire captures like this, they give us insight to what the older games would look like today. Although the outfit look s cool, it's the surrounding area that really catches my eye. 6. Beautiful Countryside Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Month: January 2023 6th place goes to @NoviKaiba23 It feels weird writing about this shot so soon after selecting it for the weekly showcase. This picturesque capture is a complete delight on the eyes. There is a real magical vibe to this shot, mostly brought on by the deep red flowers and the lighting. I think Michael Doyle summed it up perfectly in our previous article, everything together within this shot, mirrors the principles of the brotherhood. And that sums it up for this week’s Assassin’s Creed virtual photography 6 month special. A special thank you to everyone who has taken part over the last 6 months, I would not be able to do this without you. Thank you for checking out this week’s photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them. Until next week keep those shots coming in! comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: 25th June - 1st July 2022: Origins Edition Community Share 2 Jul 2022 Written By: Edited By: Aaron Young Ashlea Blackett Back To Database Welcome to the new weekly virtual photography roundup hosted by Aaron Young from The AC Partnership Program. Every week, we will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community. Aaron is a keen virtual photographer and loves to post his journeys through Assassin’s Creed on Twitter. Keep an eye on the site as more weekly shots are added, we are looking for capture across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to the #TOWCBWeeklyCapture for a chance to be featured. 1) Adventure Begins Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins This week’s first capture comes from @ DawnX90 over on Twitter. Let’s start at the beginning, just like the first shot this week. I love the colours of this photo and the way it has been captured. It looks just like concept art to me, with its broad showcase of Siwa. I remember this scene very well and how I felt the first time I experienced it, truly breath-taking stuff. Siwa has to be one of the best looking locations in the game. 2) Vibrant Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins Photo number two comes from @ Salad_VP over on Twitter. This capture stood out to me the moment I saw it. In fact, both shots in this set were stunning and it was hard to pick between them. The positioning of Bayek, on what looks like a statue, is perfect against the backdrop of this incredible sky. It feels like Bayek has been teleported here through the spray of purple behind him. Full credit for playing with the colours to create this amazing shot. 3) Minimal Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins This week’s third shot comes from @ _Virtualtourism a member of our Assassin’s Creed VP Twitter Community. Photo number three comes from a must see set of shots. The minimalist nature of this capture is what makes it so exceptional. What baffles me is how Virtual Tourism even managed to see this moment in the first place. Wonderful timing with Senu flying just above the rocks below. I really like how the colours are toned down to give such a peaceful feel. Definitely checkout the other two shots as they showcase the simplistic brilliance of the Pyramids. 4) Bayek the Warrior Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins VP number four comes from @ missroseplays a member of our Assassin’s Creed VP Twitter Community. Photo number four comes from the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC. An overwhelming shot here of Bayek against a deadly foe. I like this shot as it captures Bayek in combat which is something I don’t see as often. The main man looks awesome in his armour with a stance that shows he is ready for anything, even something not of this world. This shot is all about timing and it has been perfectly achieved. 5) Goodbye Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins The final capture of the week comes from @ CosmosThief over on Twitter. I felt like this shot deserved to be the final selection of our 4 week Assassins Creed Origins celebration showcase. A fine capture of Bayek watching the sun set. I like to think that this is Bayek at the end of his adventure, finding solace after everything that’s happened. A beautiful final shot, thank you to everyone who has taken part. And that sums it up for this week’s Assassin’s Creed virtual photography recap list! Thank you for checking out this week’s photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them.

Keep an eye on the site as more weekly shots are added, we are looking for captures across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to the #TOWCBWeeklyCapture for a chance to be featured. This week’s theme: Assassin’s Creed The Battle Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey VP Artist: @ coalabr14 This week’s showcase begins with an epic battle shot from Odyssey. I am really enjoying the mood of this capture. It has a very cinematic style and reminds me of the Gladiator movie. Kassandra looks like a true warrior, deflecting the Athenian shield while her sword is on fire. I wish these battles were in Valhalla. Would have been great to be part of a shield wall. Link: https://twitter.com/coalabr14/status/1632687287137103873?s=46&t=rIujpeSq9644fgpRWA_xMA The Ones Who Came Before Photo of the Week: Judge - Colum Blackett ( Col_96 ) from TOWCB Core Team I love how Kassandra and her flaming sword take centre stage in this shot, captured during one of the large-scale battles which Odyssey recreated so well. For me, this shot looks good enough to have been an official promotional image for the game, and uses colour particularly well to create an atmosphere. Kassandra almost certainly executed her attacker moments later. Surprise Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla VP Artist: @ m_nt_13 A bit of comedy for our second shot this week. This capture just brings a smile to my face. My daughter does the same thing to me if I don’t pay her attention. All jokes aside this shot is fantastic, it is the perfect mix of timing and positioning. I applaud m for originality here, really brings something quirky and different to our VP showcase. Women of the Creed Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Platform: PS5 VP Artist: @ Amaya_Nocturna It was International Women’s day on Wednesday and what better way to celebrate than this beautiful capture of Eivor. I am always a sucker for black background shots, I feel it elevates the subject so well. The lack of colour in general here adds to a vintage feel that compliments the classic Assassin look. This shot would make a stunning phone wallpaper. Enter the Creed Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla VP Artist: @ Virtual_Polly Valhalla often receives criticism for its lack of Assassin’s, however I enjoyed exploring the hidden Bureaus. This shot certainly shows off why they are such a delight to uncover. I like the angle of this capture as it encompasses the fiery Assassin symbol with Eivor stood in the centre. I love the shadow work, especially Eivor’s. This photo is full of mystery and intent, and it makes me want to fire up the game again. Edward Kenway Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla VP Artist: @ FrameHoldPhotos I had to end this week with a celebration of everyone’s favourite Pirate. It is very much a pirate’s life for this seafaring Assassin. Edward brought about a change to the formula and the reception was favourable. I love this capture, a beautiful celebratory shot in the modern format. The sea, sand, outfit and sky are a pleasure to look at. Happy Birthday Edward Kenway!

Summon the Brotherhood: A Review of the Summoners War X Assassin’s Creed Crossover Event Review Share 10 Apr 2023 Written By: Edited By: Michael Smith Colum Blackett Back To Database Banner by Thea Marie Rivedal ( Moonchildgecko ) from TOWCB Art Team . Starting in the month of March through May 1, 2023, Summoners War is collaborating with the Assassin’s Creed franchise for a variety of events including a themed dungeon, exclusive Arena opponent, and five characters from the games. Ubisoft is well known for their openness to cameos or crossovers with properties within their own IP umbrella and other companies. It is a simple way to promote both games and introduce fans to each other and the respective works. This is most commonly seen with mobile games as the games as a service model results in various events that are great for promotion and drawing in new players that hopefully will continue to play once said event has ended. What is Summoners War Summoners War is a gacha-based team building RPG game where players “summon” characters using scrolls of various types to collect characters of various designs and strength levels (or ranks). These characters are upgraded by playing through turn-based levels where your team of 2-5 characters (based on level difficulty) will fight waves of enemies, progressing through a story based around the releasing of a “dark magic” in a fantasy world (something that I did not pay much attention to). The game walks you through all aspects of the game through tutorials and quest lines, showing you how to level characters via EXP and absorbing weaker characters, merging creatures to get new ones, and building a personal island with multiple buildings that provide things like shops, storage, and speciality focus for things like summoning and mining resources. Event Story The story for this event has fan favorite and original Assassin, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad appearing on the player’s island with the Assassin’s Headquarters. He informs the host character, Ellia, that he is searching for the Templars and asks for both her and the player’s help. This Headquarters building acts as a daily Assassin Quest hub that will reward the player “Codex Pages” and game materials such as currency and summoning scrolls in return for completing quests such as fighting the mysterious Master X in the PVP Arena or completing a set number of campaign or dungeon missions. The Codex pages are used to claim rewards from the various event campaigns that will be discussed below. Characters The characters included in the crossover between Summoners War and Assassin’s Creed are Kassandra from AC Odyssey, Bayek of Siwa from AC Origins, Eivor Varinsdottr from AC Valhalla, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad from the original Assassin’s Creed, and Ezio Auditore da Firenze from AC Revelations. Each character (with the exception of Altaïr) can be summoned in any of the five character types, Water, Fire Wind, Light, and Dark. Altaïr is a Light exclusive character that is rewarded in an event that is detailed further in this article. During the time I played the game and events, nearly 60 hours, I was able to get each of the featured Assassins with a mixed coverage of types (all but Darkness). My first character was Kassandra, followed by Bayek and Eivor, then Altaïr from one of the event campaigns, and lastly Ezio after multiple batch summons from the RNG based gacha system. I played with each character, focusing on leveling and evolving them quickly to reach the higher start ranks which improves their stats and chances at success in the various game modes. I reached the highest ranking of 6-Stars with Bayek and Kassandra before ending my initial playthrough of the game. I was able to play the full campaign (non-event themed) on nearly all difficulty levels, using these characters to progress through the story quickly. Event Dungeon An exclusive event dungeon is included with the update that started the collaboration with Assassin’s Creed and has players work through a pathway dungeon that varies in difficulty depending on direction selected. The enemies are at post game levels (from my experience) and unfortunately for me were too difficult to fight even with the high levels of my characters (from both Assassin and Summoners War). Due to this, I was unable to explore the dungeon in full but was able to at least see what the boss was for the event. The Legion Commander of Conviction is the event boss and is a really cool design. This Templar commander looks like a formidable foe to defeat with your team of Assassins or other characters. Per the notes in the image, he uses magic power from the Piece of Eden that is influencing the dungeon. I had hoped to defeat him at least once during my play, but the dungeon feels more designed for those that are already playing the game. Altaïr Giveaway Event The first Event is designed around collecting Altaïr, and is broken down across 7 rounds where players must defeat a set number of Monsters & fight a set number of matches in the Arena to be rewarded energy and currency for the game. Once they have completed the two tiers for each round, they are provided a Hidden Mission that will reward more currency & summoning scrolls. At ranks 3 & 5 players are rewarded Ezio themed Emojis for the game chat and the Assassin Altaïr at the end of round 4. The final round 7 rewards an Assassin’s Creed Summoning Scroll which gives a guaranteed Assassin summon, whereas the normal scrolls can reward an Assassin, but it is random among the other characters. What is nice about this event is that you do not have to complete the Hidden Missions to progress, you only have to defeat Monsters and fight in the Arena, but you do have to complete them for the themed rewards. Altaïr is rewarded after finishing a set amount of Assassin Missions from the Headquarters. Collab Gift Bag & Monster Skill Level-Up Event The second event is based around collecting the Codex Pages from playing during the event. Players can claim energy and currency each day after gathering Codexes in increments of 10 (up until 40) and then Summoning Scrolls every 20 pages from 20 - 180. At 100 scrolls collected and 200 scrolls collected the player is rewarded with exclusive themed items. First is a Collab Outfit for Ellia that dresses her as an Abstergo Scientist, Ellia opens her book to release an orb of light and adjusts her glasses before closing it again. Second is a Collab Building, the Assassin Post, which has five spaces for players to display your Assassins (or whatever character you choose). Players can place this anywhere on their Island and activate it to see a cool hologram display of the Animus field and the Assassin’s Emblem. Pages are not consumed for these items but, the Codex pages can be used to pay for caches of items from upgrade monsters, scrolls, runes (used to boost characters), currency, and energy. This is a great way to progress quickly as a new player as players only have to play the game and save the Codex Pages for the caches. It is also the event that players can claim Codex Pages to rank up the skills of the Assassins which is normally obtained by using duplicate characters of the same name to level up that Assassin (ie. using Kassandra to level up Kassandra). Collaboration Treasure Chest Event This event is broken into two mission sets assigned by Ezio and Summoners War character, Archangel. Ezio requires you to clear Brotherhood missions from the Headquarters and enter the Arena, World Arena, or Guild content gamemodes. Archangel asks for players to Enter dungeons of various types and play Scenario missions (story missions). Once players complete 2 Ezio missions and 3 Archangel missions, they are given a Key to open one of 28 chests that reward similar rewards to the caches from the previous event. Once all chests are claimed, the keys can be exchanged for energy and currency. Trial of Ascension Event One of the various game modes is the ladder based Trial of Ascension where players climb a battle tower and are rewarded every 10 levels. In this event, each level cleared gives the player 1 point that can be used to claim Summoning Scrolls every 20 points up to 150 (the last two rewards at 120 and 150). There is also a reward for clearing the first 10 floors on Normal and Hard difficulty. If the player clears Floor 50, they can claim an Assassin’s Creed Scroll for an Assassin summon. Assassin’s Creed Scroll Giveaway Event Bayek hosts this event and rewards points for completing an array of missions that each reward different amounts of points and allow the player to claim rewards every 1,000 points. The best reward is an Assassin’s Creed Scroll at 6,000 points. There isn’t much to this event, just a lot of play required. When the event had started, I claimed around 2750 points as I researched the game for this event. Collaboration Special Reward Giveaway Event What appears to be the final event has players defeat the Boss in the Event Dungeon and clear Assassin Brotherhood Missions. Players will be rewarded an Assassin’s Creed Statue, Kassandra Emojis, an Assassin Brotherhood Rainbowmon Transmog (which is used for upgrading a character), and lastly the Assassin’s Fortress building for their island. There is still time to claim these for the event, but if players have the same difficulty curve that I experienced, that may not be possible to get the all. When I first started the event, I rushed through most of the game just attempting to get the Assassin characters. Over the 60 hours I played for this article, I started to follow along with the Summoner’s Way questlines to figure out what to do and enjoyed playing the game more once I did that. I made a few mistakes and used characters for leveling my Assassins that hindered me from completing quests until I summoned that character again, but with all of the prizes I received from the events, they were easy to replace. The game is worth looking at just for the crossover, and can be played afterwards if you end up liking the game, but jump in sooner than later as the individual events end within the next few weeks and if you want these characters, they won't stick around forever, so jump in and help the Brotherhood! comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

HomeCon 2020: Bringing the Comic Con to your Home Events Share 12 Apr 2020 Written By: Edited By: Lisa Zaman Ashlea Blackett Back To Database What happens when the world goes into lockdown and comic cons around the world are postponed? The actor Paul Amos known as the voice of Jacob Frye from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (also Lost Girl and The Murdoch Mysteries ) teamed up with his friend Rachel Skarsten (Lost Girl, Reign, Batwoman) to create their very own and unique, stay at home Comic-con, the aptly named HomeCon which debuted on April 10th-11th 2020. From the moment Paul Amos went live on Instagram on the 30th March and declared a new project he’d created alongside Rachel Skarsten, we knew he had something big up his sleeve and it would be a game changer. A few days later via Instagram Live HomeCon was announced and a comic con like no other had been born. With the world on lockdown and comic cons being postponed or cancelled left right and centre, Paul and Rachel had the genius idea to create HomeCon, as the name suggests a comic con at home. But how would it work? What would it entail? And who would be there? With everyone at home, HomeCon literally had a captive audience and with many of the voice actors in the same boat as the fans, they were available to participate. Like with any Comic-Con, there would be panels, Q&A’s and the chance to have 1to1’s with your favourite actor. So with less than two weeks Paul, Rachel and many other incredible people behind the scenes pulled an incredible feat and HomeCon was ready to go live. HomeCon would take part on April 10th and 11th. All panels would be live via Twitch and with a subscription of $4.99 (or free of you had an Amazon Prime account) you could view it all. HomeCon’s Social Media platforms ( Facebook ) informed us frequently with panel information and guests. As the HomeCon website went live, it provided fans with schedule’s and allowed them to book their 1to1 sessions. Of course, there were a few teething problems, as there always is with technology and the rapid interest in HomeCon meant that the website traffic sent it into a mini meltdown. With all new ventures, there were a few teething problems, but personally speaking I felt that the HomeCon support teams did a phenomenal job in handling issues prior and during the event. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/06e6c8_a83a1753302f4014a8faa2b1c77a72e5/480p/mp4/file.mp4 A few questioned the cost ($53 for 5 mins) for the 1to1, some feeling that they couldn’t justify the spend during these uncertain times, but as Paul explained very diplomatically that many actors had dedicated their time free of charge to be available and that 10% of proceeds were going to the charity First Responders First.What I felt was impressive it that they devised an almost perfect timetable, the different time zones taken into account, allowing those around the world to tune in.Day 1 started strong, with a live introduction and welcome by Rachel and Paul.Assassin’s Creed fans eagerly awaited the AC panel at 6pm BST. I noted as I tuned in to watch that over 26,000 people were watching. Suddenly all the familiar faces (or should that be voices) appeared on screen and the discussions began. I felt the moderator Ming Chen did a great job in keeping the pace and allowing each person to talk. However, as is the way with this incredible bunch of people, the conversation steered off course in the best possible way, usually led by Paul himself. It was great to see the interaction between them all, each one giving a little insight into their character and sharing anecdotes. As the hour long panel continued it was a joy to see fans sending questions and even communicating with one another as the message board scrolled furiously. Image source: Cas Anvar Before Day 1 came to an end, Paul popped back on to Instagram to send love and thanks to all involved and teased us with the hint that there could be a HomeCon 2.0. Victoria Atkin (Evie Frye) also hosted a quick Instagram live with Melissanthi Mahut (Kassandra), and then siblings Alexios and Kassandra did the same over on Michael Antonakos’s Instagram. It was evident at this point that everyone was having the best time and that HomeCon really was bringing everyone together. Day 2 and Assassin’s Creed was represented in the Motion Capture Panel which featured Elias Toufexis (Federico Auditore da Firenze - AC 2), Melissanthi Mahut (Kassandra - AC Odyssey) and Kris Holden-Ried (Crawford Starrick - AC Syndicate), alongside Greg Bryk (Joseph Seed - Far Cry 5) and Adam Croasdell (Ignis Scientia - Final Fantasy XV) The panel was insightful and again thoroughly amusing. Meanwhile remaining AC actors were busy meeting and greeting fans via the 1to1’s. I myself had the pleasure of talking with Victoria Atkin all whilst being photobombed constantly by my excited son! Image Source: Lisa Zaman As Day 2 drew to an end for the Assassins Creed fans, Michael Antonakos went live on Instagram with HomeCon’s co creator Paul, who we discovered, was sat in his shower with a beer and a box of kitty litter. Would we have expected anything less from the Welshman? As the conversation passed between the two it was obvious that there had been another lightbulb moment for Paul and that perhaps another HomeCon would focus solely on Assassin’s Creed.As HomeCon came to an end it became clear that it had been a great success. Not only in bringing excitement and entertainment to the fans at such a tumultuous time, but it allowed those who have been unable to participate in Comic cons previously (be it mentally, physically or simply geographically) to enjoy and embrace the atmosphere that so many of us cherish. Yes, it was a fabulously entertaining 2 days, but what I took away from this experience is, as Paul highlighted, it allowed us as humans, to connect with others, something that is so important in these current times. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Weekly Assassin's Creed News Recap: 17th - 23rd July 2022: News Share 25 Jul 2022 Written By: Edited By: Colum Blackett (Col_96) Ashlea Blackett Back To Database Welcome to a new weekly Assassin's Creed News Recap series, hosted by Colum Blackett (Col_96) from The Ubisoft Star Players Program (Formerly Mentors Guild). Every week, we will be rounding up Assassin's Creed News and sharing it here on The Ones Who Came Before website. Keep an eye on the site every Sunday for more weekly recaps, or check out our social media links down below to stay updated on everything Assassin's Creed. In another week full of rumours regarding the future of Assassin's Creed, we decided to look past the sea of leaked information and focus on what really matters: The community 1) We begin this week's Assassin's Creed recap with a collaborative project. Community members Arshak ( AC: Landmarks ), Louise Chase (TheNerdyArcher), Zark ( Master Hekate's Ceremonials ), James ( Let's Talk Assassin's Creed ) & Science_creed all came together to host a 2-hour long virtual tour of London whilst playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate! Viewers were also acquainted with facts about Victorian London, as the hosts turned their extensive research into a fun trivia experience. We love to see collaborative community projects, and this one does a great job at cementing the importance of non-combat game modes like Discovery Tour. We hope to see more streams like this in the future, which compliment the Discovery Tour platform by providing fans across the world with bite-sized chunks of history. 2) We here at TOWCB kicked off the week with an exclusive merchandise review, written by Michael Smith from the Writing Team. Check out our review of the new Assassin's Creed Character Blind Box figures by AC Toys, who kindly sent over a review package.

If you're a photo-mode enthusiast, or simply an admirer of Assassin's Creed screenshots, join the community for a chance to be featured in our weekly ' This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography ' articles! Assassin's Creed VP Captures Community 4) We released the first article in a two-part series dedicated to The Mentors Guild, an Assassin's Creed community program which was sadly closed down in June. In our article, we reflected on the fondest moments and accomplishments of members, and looked back with fondness at a program which opened the doors to hundreds of community members around the world. Article: Mentor Memories: Remembering the Mentors Guild (Part 1) 5) Former lead Ubisoft game designer Stanislav Costiuc tweeted this week announcing a series of farewell sessions to say goodbye to the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Revelations and AC III Multiplayer modes which are sadly getting shut down. We here at TOWCB hope to see the multiplayer game modes reinstated one day, perhaps with the launch of the mysterious Assassin's Creed Infinity, which was announced back in 2021. The dates for the Multiplayer send-off sessions are: Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood – July 23 and 24, July 29 and July 30 Assassin’s Creed: Revelations – August 5 and 6, August 12 and 13 Assassin’s Creed 3 – August 19 and 20, August 26 and 27 Reddit 6) Another project we launched this week was an unboxing video of the upcoming TITAN Evo 2022 AC Edition Gaming Chair, kindly sent to TOWCB Headquarters by Secretlab! A hidden blade was used to open the box, and we had a ton of fun filming the video, so we hope you enjoy! Article: Unboxing TITAN Evo 2022 Assassin's Creed Edition Gaming Chair by Secretlab 7) To celebrate AC Unity Week, Chris Tilton, who worked alongside Ryan Amon and Sarah Schachner on the exceptional Assassin's Creed Unity soundtrack released a sketch of when he was writing the main theme! This behind the scenes image will no doubt be appreciated by music lovers, and is a time capsule dating back to when the main theme was just an idea written on paper! It's a fun little Easter Egg for fans and the sort of content we love to see to mark the 15th Anniversary. You can follow Chris Tilton on Twitter 8) Finally, we conclude this week's news recap by highlighting our weekly Assassin's Creed virtual photography article by Aaron Young , this time featuring shots by: @calisarah1998 @Amaya_Nocturna @MoonsDonuts @punkncreed @Subject_72 You can find the article here: This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: 16th - 22nd July 2022 We hope that you enjoyed this Assassin's Creed News Recap!
