Have cash to spare? Pick up this $500 Assassin’s Creed figurine

Assassin's Creed Origins - Gods Figurine

The Assassin’s Creed series has had its share of expensive collectibles over the years, including replicas of the series’ famous hidden blade weapons as well as figures of its many playable heroes. This time, however, Ubisoft has put the pedal to the metal with a $500 limited edition statue for only the biggest Assassin’s Creed Origins fans.

Available for pre-order and launching on March 15, the “Trial of the Gods” figurine is an extremely limited collectible, with only 100 made in total. It features busts of three Egyptian gods: God of the Dead Anubis, Warrior Goddess Sekhmet, and Lords of the Waters Sobek. All three have fine details all over their clothing and faces, including brass trim on Anubis’ chest. The figures are made of both brass and resin, are hand-painted, and come with a certificate of authenticity.

Sekhmet and Sobek both have special headpieces behind them, as well. The former has a large red jewel above his head, while the latter features an oval-shaped piece of gold, almost like an egg.

Along with the three figures, you’ll also receive a display base. It is engraved with hieroglyphs and the Assassin’s Creed symbol in the center, with each figure held up by two metal bars.

If your budget is a little more modest, you might want to check out the other Assassin’s Creed collectibles Ubisoft has available. A bust of the original game’s hero, Altair, is available for $50, and figures of Maria and Aguilar from the recent film are also available. In the past, an Edward Kenway figure from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was also produced, and it’s possible that it’s sitting above one of our writers’ desks.

Assassin’s Creed Origins managed to double the launch sales of the previous game in the series, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. A new combat-free museum mode called “Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed: Ancient Egypt” is designed to teach players about key figures and locations in Ancient Egypt. It will be available for free to all Origins owners on February 20, and it will also be available as a $20 stand-alone game.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ blend of old and new is a recipe for success

Assassin's Creed Shadows was officially revealed a couple of weeks ago in a beefy cinematic trailer showing off its dual protagonists, Yasuke and Naoe. It's a big moment for fans of the series, as Shadows is finally the Feudal Japan Assassin's Creed game fans have been asking for since it was teased back in the very first entry in the franchise in 2007.

Does it live up to that long wait? Ahead of today's Ubisoft Forward stream, I saw an extended gameplay presentation for Assassin's Creed Shadows that gave me a much better sense of what to expect this fall. The team behind it is looking to blend newer series entries like Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins into the more traditional Assassin's Creed titles from over a decade ago. And that seems like it could be a winning formula.
Out of the shadows
During the presentation, I saw both of Shadows' playable characters in action -- and they're quite different from one another. Yasuke's Samurai stature and hulking physique command respect from villagers when he walks by. They bow to him, move out of his way, and clearly show signs of admiration. His combat skills also match this, giving him access to actions like a shoulder charge to break down doors or knock enemies off balance.

Can’t wait for Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Play these games instead

Ubisoft unveiled Assassin's Creed Shadows last week, giving us our first real glimpse at the first Assassin's Creed game to be set in Japan. Its Feudal Japan setting is something that fans of Assassin's Creed have craved for a long time, and while it's awesome that Ubisoft is finally delivering that concept, some other games did beat it to the punch. Many other developers have noticed how fruitful a historical Japan setting can be, from its feudal era all the way until the West started to intervene in the Edo period. As a result, there are quite a few games that I can recommend you check out while you're waiting for Assassin's Creed Shadows' November 15 launch.

The five games I'm recommending all range in size. Three of them are AAA action games, all set in different eras of Japanese history that immerse players in different ways. Meanwhile, the other two games I'm spotlighting are more experimental titles that, while not directly comparable to Assassin's Creed Shadows from a gameplay perspective, are still well worth your time if Japanese history and culture intrigue you.

No, Assassin’s Creed Shadows won’t be online only

Despite fan concerns that the recently announced Assassin's Creed Shadows would be online-only, Ubisoft has confirmed that this won't be the case.

The Assassin's Creed team posted a statement on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday to clarify that the game would only need an online connection to install, and then can be played completely offline after.
