New Assassin’s Creed Board Game Sees Ezio Return

by

Ubisoft and Mantic Games have formally unveiled an upcoming Assassin’s Creed board game, with plans to utilize Kickstarter as a platform to gather financial backing for its release.

Known as ‘Assassin’s Creed: Animus’, this game is referred to as an exhilarating and challenging board game, drawing elements from beloved periods across various Assassin’s Creed series installments.

The Kickstarter pre-launch for our collaboration with Ubisoo on an Assassin’s Creed board game is now active and alive, with Mantic Games leader Ronnie Renton expressing his excitement: “We’re ecstatic about teaming up with Ubisoft to produce this board game,” Renton shared.

As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that we’re going to honor the franchise’s rich history and lore, offer electrifying asymmetric character dynamics, and challenge you with gripping decisions about chasing personal goals while keeping your competitive edge against fellow gamers.

At present, details are scarce as Ubisoft and Mantic Games are primarily engaged in their Kickstarter campaign. Nevertheless, a glimpse of early concept art hints at the possible comeback of beloved characters such as Ezio, Connor from the original trilogy, and Eivor from Valhalla for this upcoming board game.

Board games, particularly those spanning various periods or collections, often include expansions as a common feature. Consequently, it is possible that this game could incorporate assassins from other titles such as the latest release, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, or fan favorites like Black Flag.

Although further information about Assassin’s Creed: Animus will likely be unveiled later in 2021, Mantic Games acknowledges the impact of ongoing tariff issues on the tabletop gaming community. To reassure U.S. fans, they have put plans in place to guarantee that backing this project remains a secure choice for enthusiasts.
