Awesome Assassins Creed

Gamers and feudal Japan fans: this samurai-themed snack box is packed with Japanese treats inspired by protagonists Nate and Yasuke from the upcoming game Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Maker Random Hands created an impressive real-world version of the Valhalla Axe from Assassin’s Creed using a rusty old anvil. To create the weapon, he heated the metal in a furnace, shaped its head with a power hammer, cut it with an angle grinder, then ground it into its final shape. The finished piece has cast metal and wooden handle.

The leap of faith from Assassin’s Creed doesn’t look like something you’d want to attempt in the real world. But DD Squad loves to push the boundaries of human ability, so they replicated the swan dive, jumping off of a platform 55 feet up into a pile of hay. Along the way, they turned in some pretty epic practice dives.

The guys from That Works are knee-deep in other projects, so they’re sharing the video spotlight with the talented smiths at Bellorphon Studios. Watch them use two very different techniques to make a mismatched pair of axes based on the ones Eivor wields in Assassins’ Creed Valhalla. The flames start at 3:20.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will let players fight in three ways: stealthily as an assassin, long-range as a hunter, and close-range as a warrior. You can mix and match abilities from the three skill trees and even reassign them so you’re not locked in.

Man at Arms: Reforged went through a ton of grinding, sanding and polishing to make a real life version of Altäir’s sword from the Assassin’s Creed series. The eagle-themed weapon was a pain to create, but it turned out great in the end.

A mysterious organization fakes a prisoner’s execution because they want to watch him play a virtual reality game. And access his ancestor’s memories. Michael Fassbender plays both criminal and savior in this canon Assassin’s Creed film.

This behind-the-scenes featurette for the Assassin’s Creed movie shows how they recreated the game’s trademark leap of faith mechanic. Stuntman Damien Walters actually did a 125ft freefall, but not into a stack of hay.

Michael Fassbender plays Callum Lynch and Callum’s ancestor Aguilar de Nerha, an assassin who lived in 15th century Spain. Callum will relive Aguilar’s past using a virtual reality machine to gain skills and knowledge to fight the present day Templars.

(PG-13: Language) “I am telling you that it’s not as awesome as I keep accidentally making it sound!” Cracked breaks down the main story of Assassin’s Creed and why it’s gone down the drain: because this theoretically cool series should’ve ended long ago. Skip to 1:34.

Man at Arms: Reforged‘s Baltimore Knife and Sword went to great lengths to make a working and lethal replica of the cane sword from Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. You can win that exact same replica by joining Break’s sweepstakes.
