In what started almost three years ago at an informal meeting during the Tokyo Game Show to express admiration for each other's work, the Assassin's Creed and Final Fantasy XV development teams have announced a collaboration that will result in the two franchises paying homage to each other's gaming universes. The two teams marked the announcement with a piece of artwork unveiled at this year's Gamescom that features Bayek from Assassin's Creed Origins and Noctis from Final Fantasy XV. Attendees at the show also had opportunity to get the artwork signed by Ashraf Ismail, game director at Ubisoft Montreal, and Hajime Tabata, director of Final Fantasy XV.

However, eagle-eyed fans may want to go back and look at a Final Fantasy XV trailer from November of last year, the Assassin's Creed Origins announcement trailer, and most recently, the Assassin's Creed Origins Gamescom trailer to spot Easter eggs signaling the unofficial start of the references made between the two franchises.

"This collaboration is the result of being huge fans," says Ismail. "There's a lot of respect between the two teams and we couldn't be more thrilled with the opportunity to pay homage to each other's work."

The collaboration kicks off on August 30, as Final Fantasy XV players who have obtained the Dream Egg from the Moogle Chocobo Carnival event will be gifted a very familiar Assassin outfit for Noctis. The very next day, August 31, will be the release of the free Assassin's Festival DLC for Final Fantasy XV. The town of Lestallum will transform itself for the event with signs and banners signaling the arrival of the festival, and new activities will be available for players to participate in. It doesn't end there. The Assassin's Festival will have some additional themed items and features, including another outfit from Assassin's Creed, along with abilities that enable Noctis to explore more like an Assassin and even use some of the Assassins' more well-known abilities.

I'm starting to get fucking sick of Final Fantasy XV. It's absolutely everywhere.
Incoming : Noctis cameo in Zelda BoTW, Wolfenstein II, The Big Bang Theory and GOP's website.

EDIT : Seems like it's just a FFXV event and there's nothing in AC Origins ? It's fine I guess then.
 
Is this thing timed, or is it going to be incorporated into the game forever? I'm not planning on playing FFXV right now, but I'd love to try this content when I do... in a year or so.
 
Does that shield look weird to anyone else in that first image? Is Noctis supposed to be holding it? Maybe it's just my eyes.
 
Coming to this thread: "An Assassin Festival? Assassins were a job from the Tactics series, I wonder if we'll get cool outfits for stealth!"

After reading thread: "The hell is going on?"

XIII-2 had AC stuff and Mass Effect stuff. Think we'll get Noctis in N7 armor?
 
I would confused if FFXIV was doing an AC crossover, which would at least make some sense. This being for XV is just weird though. I can't wait for this games version of Dancing All Night.
