New Assassin’s Creed action is out now
If you thought the world of video games had reached its peak, prepare for a new dimension of adventure. It turns out the legacy of Assassin’s Creed is leaping off the screen and onto the table, as Assassin’s Creed: Animus has officially launched as a competitive, adventure-style board game for 1 to 4 players.
This isn’t just a game; it’s a journey through history, allowing players to step into the boots of legendary assassins across the span of the franchise. In the standard edition, players dive into the action with four iconic protagonists: Eivor, Ezio, Altair, and Connor.
The core gameplay centers around exploration and deadly precision. Players must work together or compete against each other to complete objectives across distinct historical eras. Whether you prefer a direct, sword-drawn confrontation or a stealthier approach, players use special “memory blocks” to take down assassination targets in the way they choose.
For those who crave deeper immersion, the Collector’s Edition offers an expanded saga. This deluxe package expands the experience to include ten different eras and sixteen playable characters, introducing figures like Edward Kenway, Jacob and Evie Frye, and Kassandra.
The Collector’s Edition isn’t just about more characters and settings; it is a treasure trove of components. It includes exclusive items such as a storage box, acrylic tokens, a metal Piece of Eden, a cloth token bag, special event cards, and an Animus Card Holder, providing a truly premium experience for the dedicated fan.
The game is available now for both players. The standard version is priced at $65, offering a fantastic entry point into this historical adventure. For the ultimate collector’s experience, the Collector’s Edition is priced at $229.
