Sometimes the best crossovers are the ones that you don’t see coming. And for Ubisoft in recent years, they love blending franchises together for unique experiences. Like putting Mario with the Rabbids, Star Fox with their game Star Link, and last year, putting Final Fantasy XV with Assassin’s Creed Origins. Now, they’re at it again, but this time with two of their own franchises. For Honor has just gotten an upgrade that brings the world of Assassin’s Creed to the title!
Here’s the full synopsis of the crossover event:
“Those morally ambiguous folks at Abstergo have been toiling away to create a new gaming experience out of reliving the genetic memories of battle-hardened Knights, Vikings, Samurai, and Wu Lin Heroes, and the result of their work is For The Creed,” reads the official reveal. “Over the three-week event, players will have access to a special version of Dominion, which pits Assassins against Templars. Players will still vie for control of three zones across the map, but when your team captures the zone closest to your enemies’ spawn point, you’ll lure out their commanders. The commander for the Assassins is Ezio Auditore da Firenze, while the Templars are led by Cesare Borgia. With massive health pools and devastating area area-of-effect swings, these commanders won’t be easy to take out, but doing so nets your team 300 points and propels you that much closer to victory. The first team to reach 1,000 points and successfully eliminate all opposing team members wins.”
Furthermore, the maps in this For Honor crossover will have touched of Creed in them:
“Each of the three maps selected for the event have received a visual refresh, featuring Animus glitches and Assassin and Templar banners and flags. Additionally, all minions will now represent a faction specific to the Assassin’s Creed world. Since the events of For The Creed take place within the Animus, you’ll also notice that Warren Vidic, director of the Animus Project at Abstergo Industries, has taken over as match narrator.”
The event is on right now! And will be going on until January 10th.
