Assassin's Creed is Crossing Over With Reverse: 1999



Summary

  • Reverse: 1999 will feature content from Assassin’s Creed 2 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in 2025.
  • It’s unclear whether the crossovers will happen separately or in one event.
  • This is Reverse: 1999’s first major crossover with a triple-A game series.

Two eras of history from the Assassin’s Creed series will be coming together in an unlikely place in 2025, merging in the tactical RPG mobile game Reverse: 1999. The Assassin’s Creed content coming to Reverse: 1999 includes both Assassin’s Creed 2 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which should give fans of Ubisoft’s stealthy action-adventure franchise a unique perspective on some of the series’ key events.

For those not familiar with it, Reverse: 1999 is a free-to-play turn-based tactical RPG for mobile devices, set in a magical world where, in the year 1999, a catastrophic event caused eras of time to shift, resulting in the disappearance of many people and other things. While it’s centered around an original collection of sequential chapters, there are also special events in Reverse: 1999, and 2025 should bring at least one that has protagonist Vertin the Timekeeper exploring the world of Assassin’s Creed.

What to Expect From the Assassin’s Creed Franchise in 2025

Ubisoft seems to be going all-in on Assassin’s Creed, with there being at least six AC projects in development, some of which fans might see in 2025.

A new post that’s been shared on the Twitter accounts of both Assassin’s Creed and the mobile RPG states that Reverse: 1999 will be introducing content from Assassin’s Creed 2 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in 2025. The timetable for the release of this content is very broad, as it was announced only a few days into the year. It’s also not clear whether it will be released as a single event or two separate ones, as the game’s social media team listed each collaboration separately in its post. However, based on the time-shifting nature of Reverse: 1999 plot, it’s quite possible that the game could be gearing up for a compelling Assassin’s Creed story that combines elements of fifth-century B.C. Greece and 15th-century A.D. Italy.

It’s also not yet clear exactly how the elements of the Assassin’s Creed franchise will be incorporated in the game. A trailer attached to the post features some iconic Assassin’s Creed imagery, including the symbol of the Assassins and an eagle feather, but it still leaves much to the imagination. Since Reverse: 1999 relies heavily on gacha mechanics for drawing new heroes, it’s possible that Assassin’s Creed protagonists Kassandra and Ezio Auditore da Firenze could be joining the game’s roster.

While several of its previous events have been centered around collaborative content, this looks to be Reverse: 1999‘s first major crossover with a triple-A game series. Past events have seen the game cross over with the Discovery Channel, and it’s hosted a Pizza Hut collaboration like Genshin Impact has done in the past. While the game was originally released exclusively in China in May 2023, it hit its worldwide release five months later, surpassing $50 million in revenue in its first three months, and the crossover with a major game franchise could point to an even brighter future for Reverse: 1999.
