Ubisoft has just made an assassin -Creed announcement that nobody really saw, with the return of one of the most valued heroes. What is that?
This is the kind of announcement that we do not see. This summer Ezio Auditore, a cult figure ofAssassin's CreedWill make a comeback … but not in a Ubisoft game. He joined Reverse: 1999A mobile role -playing game, far from the Italian Renaissance. And yet the sauce takes.
An amazing cooperation, but promising for Assassin's creed
The partnership between Ubisoft and the Chinese studio Bluepoch Games has been formalized. Result: Ezio, but also Kassandra and Alexios (the heroes ofAssassin's Creed Odyssey), vice versa: 1999 from August 2025. This crossover is also started in all countries with rewards and identical content for all players. A real wish to combine the community.
The Assassin's Creed event takes place in two very different phases. First go to the Renaissance era to Florence. The opportunity to find Ezio in a familiar environment, but with a gameplay redesigned with the reverse sauce: 1999. Then the direction of ancient Greece. Kassandra and Alexios will take over a new adventure that promises a complete change in the landscape. Everything in a unique graphic style and a universe that mixes time travel, strategy and narrative.
An original way to revive Ezio
This return of Ezio in such a different game can surprise. But it proves how popular this character remains, even fifteen years after his beginnings in Assassins Creed II. It is also a sign that the franchise is ready to explore new formats to reach a wider audience. And with more than 30 million players since the start at the end of 2023, Reverse is a logical choice in 1999 to put this type of crossover in the spotlight. It can lead to Ubisoft wants to do a little more with this figure and why one day does not offer a complete remake of the second episode.
