Four iconic characters from the Assassin's Creed franchise are featured prominently, each dressed in distinctive historical attire. The characters are positioned side by side, showcasing a mix of stealthy and combat-ready poses, with weapons and accessories that highlight their unique abilities. The title "Assassin's Creed: Animus" is displayed boldly at the bottom, along with a note indicating the game is designed for 2-4 players.

Ubisoft’s hit video game Assassin’s Creed is coming to a tabletop near you.

Launching soon on Kickstarter, Assassin’s Creed: Animus is the latest videogame tie-in from Mantic Games. Described as a ‘thrilling and competitive board game’, this ‘choice-rich,’ narrative game will transport players through multiple historical eras as they strive to become ‘a legendary assassin with unique abilities’.
