Mantic Games released Assassin’s Creed: Animus on October 30, 2026<\/strong>, and it brings Ezio Auditore back in a form fans probably didn’t expect: as a playable character in a board game.<\/p>\n

Mantic describes it as a solo or co-op game built around jumping through Assassin memories and timelines, finishing objectives, picking up items<\/strong>, and trying not to desynchronize. Ezio’s in the lineup alongside Alta\u00efr, Connor, and Eivor, plus, going by the official description, every major lead the series has had.<\/p>\n\n

Ezio will still be the draw for plenty of people. Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations did a lot to define what the franchise became. Mantic says you can choose between a Standard Edition<\/strong> that includes the base game, four miniatures, and four eras, or a Collector’s Edition with 16 character miniatures, 10 eras, and a batch of premium extras.<\/p>\n\n

If you keep up with Assassin’s Creed outside the mainline games, this is an easy one to keep on your radar: it launched on October 30, 2026<\/strong>, it currently sits at a 7.1 on BoardGameGeek<\/a>, according to BoardGameGeek, and Ubisoft still hasn’t confirmed the rumors that Ezio could show up in Assassin’s Creed Hexe<\/a> as a mentor, in flashbacks, or as some kind of Isu-style projection.<\/p>\n\n

You can pick up Assassin’s Creed: Animus from Mantic Games in either the Standard Edition or the Collector’s Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n

That makes the earlier Assassin\u2019s Creed: Animus<\/a> piece worth a second look, because the board game has now arrived with Ezio Auditore in the lineup exactly as the headline promised. The release also confirms the wider cast Mantic teased, with Alta\u00efr, Connor and Eivor joining him, so the game has moved from a simple concept into something fans can actually put on the table. The real question now is whether the final experience lives up to the nostalgia it is trading on.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
