00:00 Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're looking at the 20 times Assassin's Creed infiltrated
00:11 other games.
00:13 For this list, we'll be looking at the most surprising, exciting, and generally badass
00:17 Assassin's Creed crossovers.
00:20 But don't reach for your hidden blade if we left out your favorite, just let us know in
00:23 the comments.

00:43 Infamous 2 A clever play on words makes for a great
00:52 way to give another game some flowers.
00:55 Infamous 2 has two nods to the Assassin's Creed franchise.
00:58 One that may be missed in an ad for a film titled Assassin's Need, Love 2.
01:05 While Assassins do need love, maybe not in an adult film kind of way.
01:09 Another nod to the AC series is an evil side mission called Assassin's Greed.
01:15 While this side mission isn't anything special, the name alone will perk up the ears of any
01:19 Assassin's Creed fan.
01:28 Super Smash Bros.
01:31 Ultimate The Smash Bros. games quickly became one of
01:39 the most popular fighting series of all time.
01:42 Particularly because how they let Nintendo fans get all of their favorite characters
01:46 together in one place to duke it out.
01:49 In more recent iterations, that appeal has been expanded with the inclusion of characters
01:54 from way beyond Nintendo's own stable.
01:57 Everyone from Mario's longtime rival Sonic to more realistic characters like Metal Gear's
02:01 Snake have turned up for a brawl.
02:04 Sadly, Ezio and Altair have yet to make the guest list, but players can now dress their
02:09 Mii fighter up in Assassin's robe which is pretty darn close.
02:19 Fortnite I mean, you have to have seen this coming,
02:27 right?
02:28 It seems like every IP known to man has made its way to Fortnite, and Assassin's Creed
02:32 is no exception.
02:34 While we didn't get a cool parkour mode or assassin mode with the Fortnite Assassin's
02:38 Creed crossover, we did get two cool skins.
02:41 For starters, we have two assassins in Ezio and Eivor.
02:46 And our pickaxe turned into a hidden blade or Valhalla's Raven Clan axes.
02:52 Fortnite really is the ultimate battle royale.
02:54 I mean, where else can you get Ezio teaming up with a dancing hot dog?
03:03 Minecraft From famous historical locations to iconic
03:12 fictional realms, Minecraft players have dedicated thousands of hours to recreate their favorite
03:18 places in charming, bricky form.
03:20 It's always cool to see somewhere familiar rendered in Minecraft's unique style.
03:25 And while players have shown no end of ingenuity in building things from scratch, that is literally
03:30 what the whole game is about, after all.
03:33 Sometimes it helps to have a few ready-made touches like the three Assassin's Creed skins,
03:38 which were added in the skin pack 4.
03:41 Whether they're sneaking around a blocky version of Jerusalem or tottering about somewhere
03:45 much more random, players can now look their assassinating best.
03:55 TrackMania How can Assassin's Creed be an erasable,
04:03 racing game?
04:04 Take one of Ubisoft's biggest games in TrackMania and give players an Assassin's Creed Mirage-inspired
04:10 skin for their car, and an Assassin's Creed Mirage track and tools to play with.
04:15 There's nothing more thrilling than driving as hard as you can with the backdrop of 9th
04:19 century Baghdad and the desert sun.
04:22 Taking the track slow can also give us some idea of environments we may see in Assassin's
04:27 Creed Mirage.
04:33 Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns of the Patriots They might reside in different eras, but the
04:44 Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear series both revolve around stealthy fellas stalking through
04:49 the shadows with a world of deep and complicated conspiracies.
04:53 Well it makes sense that they'd share something of a symbiotic relationship.
04:57 Altair's robe might not provide Snake with as much camouflage as his high-tech gear,
05:03 but they do offer a stylish clothing option once you unlock them in Metal Gear Solid 4.
05:08 The favor was returned in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood where Raiden's ninja gear can
05:12 be obtained.
05:13 And there's even a cute reference to the series' famous "Leap of Faith" in Metal
05:17 Gear Solid Peace Walker.
05:19 For stealth game lovers, this is truly a dreamy crossover.
05:29 Brawlhalla - Assassin's Creed Mirage I often forget about Brawlhalla, but it seems
05:39 to still have a massive fanbase.
05:41 It's another Ubisoft game, so of course we see our hidden blade-wielding assassins
05:46 in the roster.
05:48 Brawlhalla is full of Assassin's Creed avatars, emotes, and KO effects.
05:53 But let's be honest, we just want to fight as an assassin.
05:56 At first, we only got our assassin fill with skins based on Assassin's Creed Brawlhalla,
06:01 but we did eventually get Ezio as a full playable character.
06:05 With Brawlhalla being a Smash clone, this is the closest we'll get to having a true
06:09 playable assassin in the Smash-like.
06:12 Even if the Brawlhalla character design is a bit odd.
06:20 Rayman Legends - Rayman Legends Long before Ubisoft struck gold with Altair
06:29 and Ezio in the Assassin's Creed series, it created one of gaming's most beloved
06:34 heroes, Rayman.
06:36 While the loose-limbed star never quite rose to the famous heights of other cartoon platformers
06:41 like Mario and Sonic, he was always a firm cult favorite.
06:45 For the HD era, Origins was able to breathe new life into the series, thanks to its crisp
06:50 visuals and smooth, fast-paced gameplay.
06:53 And the follow-up, appropriately titled Legends, then allowed Ubisoft to create both its prodigal
06:58 sons at the same time, kidding Rayman out in the series' famous white robe.
07:04 Rayman's spin-off series, Raving Rabbids, has also continued the love, and with a series
07:08 of Assassin's Creed-inspired costumes.
07:17 Academy of Champions - Soccer Who knew Assassins could play soccer?
07:26 Academy of Champions Soccer is your typical forgotten sports game, and it being stranded
07:31 on the Wii doesn't help.
07:33 Academy of Champions doesn't hold a candle to other great soccer games like FIFA or Mario
07:38 Strikers Charged.
07:40 The only true draw to the game is the cameo characters.
07:43 This being a Ubisoft game, we see many of the tentpole characters with Rayman, Sam Fisher,
07:49 Prince of Persia, and of course, our beloved Assassins.
07:52 There is nothing more entertaining than seeing our Assassins celebrate with a dance move
07:57 after scoring a goal.
08:04 Toy Soldiers - War Chest Toy Soldiers is the ideal game for anyone
08:14 looking to tumble back into their childhood memories of hours spent setting up elaborate
08:20 battles with their action figures.
08:22 The best part of which was always combining characters from all sorts of different series
08:27 into one ginormous conflict.
08:29 The nostalgia kick gets dialed up with the Hall of Fame edition, where the likes of He-Man
08:34 and G.I.
08:35 Joe join the fray in plastic figure form, as well as Ezio, perfect for players who grew
08:40 up in a post-Joe world.
08:48 South Park - The Fractured But Whole Here's a combination I never thought we would
08:57 see.
08:58 Despite being a game full of toilet humor and potty-mouthed kids, South Park - The Fractured
09:03 But Whole found a way to sneak in an Assassin's Creed outfit into the world of South Park.
09:09 Now this outfit can be claimed via the Ubisoft Club for 40 points and will grant you Ezio's
09:14 iconic white and red robe, along with a hidden blade.
09:18 While you're in the Ubisoft app, make sure to pick up your Tree Fiddy to start your adventure
09:22 off with a little more extra cash to go along with your Assassin outfit.
09:32 Team Fortress 2 A hectic first-person shooter like Team Fortress
09:41 might seem like an odd fit for Assassin's Creed given the series' preference for sneak
09:46 attacks and close-quarter combat.
09:48 And perhaps that's why we wouldn't see Ezio or Altair leaping into this particular
09:52 series themselves.
09:53 They've got more sense than to go in head-to-head with some of these minigun-toting lunatics
09:59 after all.
10:00 But players can get their hands on the iconic hood and wrist-blade combo if they want to
10:04 see how well their Assassin skills translate, even if it does mean bringing a knife to a
10:08 rocket launcher fight.
10:15 Ghost Recon Wildlands From one stealth series to another, being
10:25 an Assassin is all about hiding in the shadows, and so is being a Ghost.
10:30 Now the way each take out their targets will vary, but what if you could have the ultimate
10:34 combination of a highly skilled Assassin with the firepower of a Ghost?
10:38 Well, we're still waiting on that, but in the meantime we can have our Ghost play dress-up
10:43 with a white Assassin robe.
10:45 This is merely a DLC skin, and it makes no sense wearing white in a jungle to be stealthy,
10:51 but it's still fun to see an Assassin wielding a sniper rifle.
11:00 Watch Dogs While most of the crossovers in which Assassin's
11:09 Creed has taken part are little meta bits of fanservice that aren't considered part
11:13 of the game's narrative.
11:15 The Easter eggs found in Watch Dogs have gradually indicated that the two series might exist
11:19 in the same universe.
11:21 Some of the connections initially seemed like a gag, like the scene in Watch Dogs which
11:25 makes fun of Assassin's Creed post-kill confession sequence, but the key clue came
11:30 when the Black Flag character showed up as a target in the other series.
11:35 A screenshot of Watch Dogs protagonist Aiden Pierce taking him out can be found in Assassin's
11:40 Creed Origins, effectively confirming that the two stories are connected.
11:45 Easily the most mind-blowing moment on the list for fans of the two series.
11:56 Far Cry 3 The rumor of all Ubisoft games being connected
12:07 have to be true.
12:08 I mean, we see Sam Fisher doing missions with the Ghost and Rabbids as toys, and Abstergo
12:13 logos in Far Cry 3.
12:16 While one logo could be considered a nice little nod to the fellow Ubisoft franchise,
12:21 seeing them more than once can't be a coincidence.
12:24 Not to mention the letter that mentions Pieces of Eden.
12:27 Oh, and of course the cheeky line about collecting all the feathers.
12:31 Just like we had to do in the first Assassin's Creed.
12:40 Soul Calibur V While Assassin's Creed remains a mere cosplay
12:54 option in Smash Bros., another famous fighting series went all the way and introduced Ezio
13:00 to its playable roster.
13:02 Soul Calibur V Ezio is best when taking his enemies completely
13:07 unaware, but he also is a highly trained combatant with a wide arsenal of weapons allowing him
13:12 to go toe-to-toe with the best of them.
13:15 So he fits right in here.
13:17 From his signature hidden blades to his sword and crossbow, the game does a great job of
13:22 translating Ezio's gear into a Soul Calibur moveset.
13:27 Better yet, they even managed to make his appearance sort of fit in with the Assassin's
13:31 Creed canon, mentioning a gap in Ezio's timeline that completely stumped the folks
13:35 trying to sort out his memories.
13:45 Prince of Persia We're kinda going full circle here.
13:53 Essentially the predecessor to Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia was known for its
13:58 parkour and the 2008 game has an unlockable outfit to pay respects to the series that
14:03 took its place.
14:05 Seeing the prince wearing Altair's robe seems fitting as the prince and the assassins
14:09 share rather similar moves when it comes to getting around with stylish parkour.
14:14 While Assassin's Creed can be blamed for us no longer getting Prince of Persia games,
14:19 the last outing blended both worlds together beautifully.
14:27 For Honor Who were the greatest warriors of all time?
14:36 That's the question which For Honor gives players the chance to answer by taking samurai,
14:41 medieval knights, and vikings, and leaving them to slug it out.
14:45 Given the Assassin's Creed series' love of recreating and remixing history, it only
14:49 made sense that their own set of highly trained killers would eventually slip into the battle
14:53 as well.
14:55 An event called For the Creed saw players taking control of assassins and templars,
15:00 rather than the usual factions with Ezio and Chizarra Borgia providing star turns as their
15:05 commanders.
15:06 With the variety of AC-inspired weapons and a new look for several of the maps, this one
15:11 is the most complete infiltrations that Ezio and co have ever achieved.
15:20 The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings We never see an assassin slip up while running
15:31 or leaping from rooftop to rooftop, but surely there must have been some that failed to stick
15:37 their landing.
15:38 One of the more dangerous actions we see the assassins pull off has to be the leap of faith.
15:43 Diving from the highest building into a small pile of hay seems like it would take precision
15:48 and skill.
15:49 So, what happens when assassins miss the landing?
15:52 Well, just as you'd imagine, they go splat.
15:55 In The Witcher 2 we can actually see an assassin that missed the landing, a dead assassin in
16:00 a white robe lying there next to the hay.
16:11 Final Fantasy XV Final Fantasy is another long-running series
16:22 that had a fruitful relationship with Assassin's Creed.
16:25 It began with unlocking an Ezio costume in Final Fantasy XIII too, allowing the player
16:31 to imagine how deadly the Italian charmer might have been if he could throw fireballs
16:35 too.
16:36 But they really kicked things up a notch with a full-blown Assassin's Festival add-on
16:41 for the 15th game, which included some fun cosmetic changes like various Assassin's
16:46 robes, but also some deeper additions.
16:49 The new storyline stripped the player of their magic powers and forced them to rely on stealth,
16:54 cunning, and climbing abilities to take out their foes, a true Assassin's Creed experience
16:59 within the Final Fantasy world.
