Assassin's Creed: A surprise that no one saw coming, announced, you'll love it

Assassin's Creed: A surprise that no one saw coming, announced, you'll love it

It's the kind of announcement you don't see coming. This summer, Ezio Auditore, cult figure from Assassin's Creed, will make his big comeback... but not in a Ubisoft game. He's joining Reverse: 1999, a turn-based mobile RPG, a far cry from the Italian Renaissance. And yet, it's taking off.

A surprising, but promising collaboration for Assassin's Creed

The partnership between Ubisoft and the Chinese studio Bluepoch Games has just been made official. Result: Ezio, but also Kassandra and Alexios (the heroes of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey), will arrive in Reverse: 1999 starting in August 2025. This crossover will launch simultaneously in all countries, with identical rewards and content for all players. A real desire to unify the community.

The Assassin's Creed event will take place in two distinct phases. First, head to Florence during the Renaissance. The opportunity to find Ezio in a familiar setting, but with gameplay redesigned in the Reverse: 1999 style. Then, head to ancient Greece. Kassandra and Alexios will take over for a new adventure that promises a total change of scenery. All in a unique graphic style and a universe that mixes time travel, strategy, and storytelling.

An original way to revive Ezio

Ezio's return in such a different game may come as a surprise. But it proves how popular this character remains, even fifteen years after his debut in Assassin's Creed II. It's also a sign that the franchise is ready to explore new formats to reach a wider audience. And with over 30 million players since its launch in late 2023, Reverse: 1999 is a logical choice to shine a spotlight on this type of crossover. This might inspire Ubisoft to do a little more with this character, and perhaps one day offer a complete remake of the second episode.
