Hey! Remember when Assassin’s Creed was about being a stealthy assassin? Dark Horse Direct does! To celebrate over fifteen years since the first game was released, a new 240-page behind-the-scenes book will be published.
The $199.99 Assassin’s Creed tome comes with the following:
- Black with Gold Foil Clamshell Collector’s Case
- Exclusive Double-sided Collector’s Coin featuring the 15th Anniversary Brotherhood Crest and the ancient Apple of Eden
- Exclusive Metal Art Plate (152.4mm x 203.2mm x 1.5mm aluminum plate with printing on the front and laser engraving on the back)
- 240-page Hardcover Art Book with Exclusive Cover, Gold Ribbon Marker, & Gold Foil Gilding
- Portfolio with Ribbon Corners and Two Gallery-Quality Lithograph Prints
The expected ship date for The Making of Assassin’s Creed: 15the Anniversary Ultimate Edition hardcover is between July and August 2023. Dark Horse Direct is taking pre-orders right now.
“A sleek 240-page Ultimate Edition hardcover artbook with gold gilded pages and satin ribbon marker, a luxurious folio containing two gallery-quality lithograph prints, and an exclusive metal art plate come packaged together in an exclusive gold foil stamped clamshell case with an embedded double-sided gold coin, featuring the Brotherhood’s anniversary crest and the ancient Apple of Eden.”
I would have been interested if this hardcover had been released sometime in the early 2010s. However, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has been lackluster during the last two console cycles. The whole stealthy assassin part of the franchise was put on to the side. In its place, we got lots of action and swordplay.
The first two titles in the franchise were quite enjoyable, and Black Flag was a fun side story. Hell, that was the best pirate game I’d played in decades. Sadly, Ubisoft didn’t jump on creating a separate franchise focused on a seafaring adventure.
After finishing AC: Valhalla, I felt like I’d just completed a generic Viking game with a guest appearance by some Assassin’s Creed characters and themes.
