CMON is bringing you a new way to get in touch with your ancestry, of sorts, with the announcement of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed RPG. Players will take on the role of characters going back into their ancestral memories, looking for clues to beat the Templars in the age-old war.
From the announcement:
CMON is proud to announce that Assassin’s Creed®, Ubisoft’s video game series which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, is coming to the world of tabletop roleplaying games for the first time via CMON’s publishing imprint, Guillotine Press. The licensing agreement will give players exciting new ways to explore the vast world and time periods of the video games as they enter the Animus, searching for long-lost secrets and Pieces of Eden to aid them in their long fight against the Templars.
Overseen by CMON’s Head of IP & RPGs, Francesco Nepitello (The One Ring RPG, Zombicide Chronicles RPG, Dune: War for Arrakis), players in the Assassin’s Creed roleplaying game will create and play as Descendants, modern-day characters whose ancestors were famous Brotherhood assassins of old. Players will also create and play as several of those same Ancestors, one for each time period they’ll visit in their missions by entering the Animi Network. Guiding their adventures is the Animus Operator; it’s their duty to set the scene and guide the players through the game.
