Stepping down as bureaucrat


I figured it might be appropriate to resurface the old admin symbols we used in the old days for this post.

Today, I will be stepping down as bureaucrat and administrator of the Assassin's Creed Wiki. Eleven years ago, I joined this wiki out of passion for a franchise I fell in love the moment I started playing the first game. It didn't take me longer than a day or two to go from playing the game to making my first edit on this wiki.

Through the years of contributing the wiki, I've not only been honoured to be able to help out other fans of Assassin's Creed by contributing to this wiki, but being able to interact with all these other fans around the world who share the same passion as me. I have made many friends in places around the world I might otherwise never have met, and some I've been fortunate enough to meet in real life. To also have been able to meet the people behind the games has been something I wouldn't have thought of when I first started contributing. All of these things a…

Assassinews 23-12-2016 -- The film releases!

So, the Assassin's Creed movie released a couple days ago. I hope lots of you have gotten to see it. Unfortunately, some of us (including myself) haven't, so please be kind in IRC with spoilers!

In the meantime, here's some interesting tidbits:

  • There'll be a couple books to release alongside the film -- hope you enjoy reading! That is, if you didn't already have it.
  • There was a publicity stunt with another live, unwired Leap of Faith. Check out this footage.

((Pssst: if you liked the movie, it might be part of a trilogy...))

Happy holidays, Assassins! Enjoy the film release, and see you all in the new year (or IRC, 'cause that's a thing too)!

Assassinews 28-10-16 -- Novels, films, and bonus media galore! ... But no new games.

Hello, all, this is DarkFeather, your friendly neighborhood Rafiq. The Assassinews blog has taken a turn for the quiet, and I'd like to take it up again. Hopefully some of you will find interesting new things here, and we can spark some discussion.

So, we have a film coming, as (I hope) many of you know. Some interesting tidbits from the same:

  • In the tradition of the games, historical sequences are being shot in Spanish. The game will release when it's ready, so all we can hope for is a better release cycle (more bug-free than Unity's, for example) and a caliber of game we haven't seen since Assassin's Creed II.

I'll be posting back each month with what news I've heard, seen, and found. Hopefully it will be an interesting read. As always, please stop by IRC to chat!

Assassinews 27-04-'16 — Ubisoft and Patrice Désilets resolve differences over 1666: Amsterdam, lawsuit withdrawn

As of yesterday, at least from my timezone as I post this, it has come to light that Ubisoft and Patrice Désilets have agreed to let bygones be bygones, to which Ubisoft have relinquished the right of ownership of the intellectual property known as 1666: Amsterdam back to Patrice. Ubisoft had initially come into possession of 1666 after the company had purchased the IP from THQ following the latter's dissolution, following which Ubisoft had removed Patrice from the project and then subsequently put it on development hold, sparking the legal battle between the two.

In response to this recent gesture of good will, Désilets has withdrawn his lawsuit against Ubisoft from the Superior Court of Québec, and stated: "I'm glad Ubisoft and I were able to come to an agreement that will allow me to obtain the rights to project 1666 Amsterdam. I will now devote myself entirely to the development of Ancestors: the Humankind Odyssey, my next game with Panache Digital Games."

The game stars the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Patrick Cormac, operating around the North Atlantic during the Seven Years' War, hunting down his former Assassin brothers.

Assassinews 19-03-'14 – Two Assassin's Creeds for 2014?: Unity and Comet

Rather than so many people making all these separate forums and blogs, and commenting about it on completely unrelated blogs (...why?), I'll just make this blog post.

It seems that the rumours about two Assassin's Creed games being released is true. One is coming out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and is codenamed Unity, while the other will be coming out for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and is codenamed Comet.

Screenshots of an early version of Unity have leaked, showing the protagonist in 18th-century Paris. The leaks back up the statements of a NeoGaf user who claimed to have gotten information on the next game from a Ubisoft employee on a plane. According to the NeoGaf user, the protagonist's name is Arnaud (a French name of old German origin with some connection to eagles) and will be the leader of the French Brotherhood of Assassins. The game will be set in both Paris and England, likely London.

No information yet on Comet, but expect an official announcement on the games soon.

Gamescom - Assassin's Creed III Preview

It always amazes me how Ubisoft is able to crank out the Assassin Creed games once a year, yet somehow manages to improve and outclass the previous installment in the series in almost every way. Each game is an improvement in terms of graphics, sound, gameplay, story, you name it. Ubisoft hasn't ceased to surprise so far, so will the upcoming Assassin's Creed III once again be a piece of art?

From what I've seen so far, it might very well be the best Assassin's Creed to date. Let's take animations as an example. Every single animation in the game has been rebuild from the ground to fit with Connor's new style of fighting. Unlike Ezio, Connor relies heavily on movement whilst fighting, making fluid animations an absolute necessity. And these animations are most certainly fluid. If a cannonball strikes close to Connor, the way he stumbles over seems almost real. This also has a positive effect on the combat system, as Connor can now slice through hordes of enemies with Tomahawk without e…

Assassinews 02-06-'12 — Assassin's Creed III: Liberation revealed!

Today, a user on NeoGaf claimed to have the July issue of GameInformer which has details on the game, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. Alongside a screenshot, it revealed that players will take up the role of Aveline, a French black female Assassin during the French and Indian War! Ubisoft gave a "no comment" when asked about the article, which basically means "we can't say anything about it but we won't say it's fake either because it isn't," and we all know how well GameInformer handles their secrets... The game will be set in New Orleans, but will also explore settings along the Gulf into Mexico, and span from 1765 to 1780.

Are you excited to finally play as a female Assassin after all these years? Or are you disappointed that that opportunity is exclusive to only Vita owners? Let us know in the comments below!

Assassinews 04/16 - System Change and Featured Fanons

For those who don't know, I am Blaidd, I've been a member of the Wiki for over a year, a member of the Istruttorium for little over a year, and more specifically the Rafiq of the Apprentice Program. I have agreed to post the News Blogs concerning the operations of the Wiki. Sima is doing the News Blogs regarding new Assassin's Creed info, and Teller is doing the Holiday Blogs. So let's begin.


Now while Cello was the Bureaucrat here, this Wiki ran under a strict hierarchy. Cello was of course at the top, followed by the Admins, the Istruttori, the Apprentices, and finally, the regular editors and anons. When a decision needed to be made affecting the future of this Wiki, only the Staff had a say, with Cello giving the final word, while the rest of the community was ignored. However, now that Cello is gone, we can change that system.

Our new Bureaucrats - Sima and Vatsa have abolished the old hierarchy. The new message we are trying to deliver to the community now is "equality": all users ar…

Assassinews 04/07 -- Assassin's Creed III at PAX East

Right, so for those of you who don't know, PAX East took place from the 6th of April to the 8th, during which, a new gameplay demo for Assassin's Creed III was shown. While the demo has not yet hit the internet, screenshots and information about the demo have been released to the general public.

Here's the demo from a story point of view:

It takes place in 1775 during the battle of Bunker Hill, with Connor's mission to assassinate a British official named John Pitcairn, who is also a Templar. As the battle commences, Connor moves throughout the American ranks trying to reach Pitcairn who was at the peak of a hill. Dodging cannon-fire, Connor decides to take a different, more indirect path towards Pitcairn, through the trees. Continuing on his way, Connor comes across a group of Redcoats. Proceeding to slaughter them, Connor continued on towards the British camp. Once there, Connor located Pitcairn and made his way towards him, before using his tomahawk to kill him.

A nice little demonstrat…

Safety and Peace



I have been thinking about this for some time. Ever since the release of ACR, my interest in the series has progressively deteriorated -- everything I loved about AC, the stuff that captured me in AC1... is gone. And in ACR they managed to take away the fun and complexity AC2 and ACBH brought to the series by doing a game simply for the spite of it, with a money focused released every year, like Call of Duty does. Ubisoft disheartened me, but worse, I realized my interest in the wiki itself was fading. It´s been 2 weeks since the thought first crossed my mind, and I feel it´s time I finally follow my path again.

For almost 3 years, I have led this place. It started with me as a sole editor on a 7-article site and I helped it become a 2000+ article online encyclopedia. I am behind the recruitment of the staff and the focus on community instead of sole-content, I have overseen and managed the implementation of new portals, WikiAlliances, the Apprentice Initiative and the FanSection. With…

Assassinews 03/05 -- ACWiki's Fan Section and AC3 first trailer



Barely into the third month of the year and we already have brickloads of information about the upcoming game, Assassin's Creed III. Today, the first video and true glimpse of the game have come to us, depicting the new ancestor, Connor, killing people and freerunning on trees. It also gives us a glimpse of one of the US founding fathers, General George Washington, and one British v.s. American battle. Check the full trailer below:



That was on the AC side of news, the game series we all love (personally, though, I'll skip ACR when using that term) =P
Now comes the news from the Wiki side, the place and people we all love so very much.

As a special treat for the fans, I am pleased to announce the official opening of our official Fan Section!

That's right, the number one spot for all your AC info and sociability is now also a spot for you to share and view fan creations from around the world! After a vote last year, the majority of the users here supported a fanon area, and now it has arrived…

Assassinews 02-03-'12 — Leaked AC3 info!

Okay, so I realize that news sites are already leaking info related to the leaked GameInformer article on Assassin's Creed III, so I suppose I will do the same here, even though it may not be quite right... Though it's either us or them.

Here is a basic rundown of the new features in the upcoming GameInformer article, to be released next week:

  • The new Assassin is the son of a Native American woman and a British soldier. His calls himself Connor, but his birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton. Born into the Mohawk, he eventually crosses paths with the Assassins in his search for righteousness.
  • Connor is quiet and stoic, letting actions speak for words rather than conversing with others. In contrast to Ezio, Connor is a freedom fighter who acts in the name of justice rather than on personal revenge.
  • The game is set between 1753 and 1783, meaning we will be playing a good chunk of Connor's life, about the timeframe of Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood combined.
  • Settings will include Bost…

Assassinews 03/01 -- Assassin's Creed III era and boxart revealed



March 1st of 2012. 9 months to the fullfilment of the Mayan Prophecy, for the launch of Abstergo's Eye satellite and for the delivery of the third and final chapter of Assassin's Creed following Desmond's destiny.

And to start the hype, Ubisoft has unveiled today via GameInformer the boxart AND setting of the new game.

The new game will follow another white-beaked-hooded ancestor on one of the most century-defining wars ever -- the American Revolution.


We have no more details at this time but expect more soon -- especially if the game has been in development for as long as they say, we shall have info promptly avaiable to build up hype. And maybe this time they will deliver what is promised -- a true assassin experience.

I must say, altough the setting is kinda know and taken, with Mel Gibson's The Patriot and similar stuff covering it, the image got me excited. I'm curious to see the AC take on this. Let's hope it joins the best of AC, ACII and ACB -- namely, atmosphere/wisdom, great story,…

Assassinews 02/25 -- 2000 pages and 1 ACR DLC!



The first DLC for Assassin's Creed: Revelations has been announced. Named "The Lost Archive", the downloadable content will feature gameplay sequences similar to Desmond's Journey ones, but focused on Subject 16's life. Unfortunaly, Ubisoft's trend of not including (or at least delaying) PC players also makes a appearance this time. Altough I expect it to be avaiable for PC at a later date, I still find the lack of explanation for excluding the PC version disgusting, without even a mention to the why.


On a cheerful note, this week the wiki has surpassed the TWO THOUSAND main article count! (everyone cheers)
It's amazing to see that little 7-page site I found in 2009 become a 2000 pages encyclopedia, a compendium of information so complete and awesome that even AC developers use for reference. A encylopedia better even than Ubisoft's official one. And all of this build by us -- editors and staff.

To celebrate this, User:Nostalgia AC (our newest Istruttore) have made a special commemorative…

Wikia Video Experiment Underway

Hello all!


We here at Wikia are trying out a new experiment with videos to allow links on the wiki to jump to specific parts of the video without leaving the page! We have already set up a sample on the Arkham City wiki, and a link to the page is right here. If you are interested in this project, please check out the page and give some feedback on the page itself or on Hilary's talk page.


Thanks, and happy editing!
