"Exploring the Sci-Fi World of Assassin's Creed in the New Tabletop RPG"

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed franchise has been adapted into a tabletop role-playing game by CMON, with a focus on the Animus machine that allows players to experience historical events. The game will skip over mundane details and instead focus on exciting action scenes, allowing players to hop between different time frames. The TTRPG will include characters from smaller Assassin's Creed games and also allow players to create their own assassins. Character advancement will be based on the "bleeding" effect, where players inherit abilities from their ancestral memories. The game uses custom dice, but a free mobile app is available for dice rolling. Pre-orders start at $35, with a release date set for October 2024.
