Crossovers have been a part of the video game world for quite some time. That said, the latest news that Ubisoft and Square Enix joining forces feels straight out of left field. The two game houses are bringing together the worlds of Final Fantasy XV and Assassin’s Creed.
Ubisoft Montreal game director Ashraf Ismail stated that “This collaboration is the result of being huge fans,” and it isn’t all that weird since Ubisoft just finished working with Nintendo for their Mario and Rabbids crossover game.
This crossover isn’t going as far as a new game (thank god), but will instead be a major event inside Final Fantasy XV known as the ‘Assassin’s Festival’. The collaboration kicks off on August 30, as Final Fantasy XV players who have obtained the Dream Egg from the Moogle Chocobo Carnival event will be gifted a very familiar Assassin outfit for Noctis. The very next day, August 31, will be the release of the free Assassin’s Festival DLC for Final Fantasy XV.
The town of Lestallum will transform itself for the event with signs and banners signaling the arrival of the festival, and new activities will be available for players to participate in. It doesn’t end there. The Assassin’s Festival will have some additional themed items and features, including another outfit from Assassin’s Creed, along with abilities that enable Noctis to explore more like an Assassin and even use some of the Assassins’ more well-known abilities
