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 Mirage takes the series back to 2007 in all the right ways
The main character of Assassin's Creed: Mirage perches on a ledge and looks out over the city of Baghdad.

Ubisoft bills Assassin’s Creed Mirage, its upcoming stealth adventure launching this October, as a return to the franchise’s roots. Go back to the original Assassin’s Creed in 2007 and you’ll find something that looks entirely different from the massive open-world of Valhalla. It was a more focused experience with an emphasis on methodic and stealthy gameplay, all taking place in Jerusalem.

Each subsequent entry would expand that existing formula while switching settings and time periods: 13th-century Italy, the American Revolutionary War, and the Golden Age of Piracy. However, 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origin transitioned the series to a much larger open-world structure in Egypt, a trend that would balloon further with 2018’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and 2020’s massive Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
Assassin's Creed Mirage Basim

It's time to ready your hidden blades once again, assassins, because a brand new entry in the Assassin's Creed series is upon us. All the leaks and rumors have turned out to be true, and the next installment in the franchise has been officially revealed as Assassin's Creed Mirage. This franchise has undergone some major changes in recent entries, and the next game seems poised to shake things up yet again.

First officially revealed during a Ubisoft Forward in September 2022, Assassin's Creed Mirage will be the next mainline game in the series after 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla. While each game typically only has smaller, less prominent ties to one another (at least after the series moved on from the Desmond arc), this game bucks the trend in that regard. From plot to gameplay changes and more, here's everything we know about Assassin's Creed Mirage, an upcoming PlayStation 5 game we have our eye on.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is coming out earlier than expected

Ubisoft revealed that Assassin's Creed Mirage will now release on October 5, a week earlier than originally intended.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is supposed to be a back-to-basics entry for Ubisoft's long-running action-adventure series. It was announced in 2022 and got an October 12 release date during the PlayStation Showcase in May. Now, just two months before the game was set to release, Ubisoft announced that it has moved the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage up by one week to October 5. This coincides with a tweet announcing that the game had "gone gold," which essentially means that development of the game is complete and Ubisoft's focus can turn to post-launch support.

Delays are very common in this industry, and Ubisoft especially is no stranger to them; Skull & Bones is a prime example. That's why Assassin's Creed Mirage joins a rare group of games that actually come out earlier than originally expected. In 2022, we saw Xenoblade Chronicles 3 moved from September to July, while this year, Baldur's Gate 3's PC launch moved up from August 31 to August 3, which ended up being a much better release window for the game.
Although Ubisoft did not specifically state the reason for moving Assassin's Creed Mirage up, it wouldn't be surprising if the company wanted to give the game more space and attention ahead of other games coming out this October, like Forza Motorsport, Alan Wake 2, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Regardless, it's going to kick off one of the busiest months for game releases in 2023.
Assassin's Creed Mirage will launch for PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on October 5.
