Assassin’s Creed: Ezio Auditore Returns This Summer in a New RPG
It’s a clash of eras and icons: Ezio Auditore, the timeless legend of the Assassin’s Creed saga, is making an unexpected comeback—in a game no one saw coming. Joined by Kassandra and Alexios, this return set for August 2025 promises a thrilling fusion of action, strategy, and nostalgia.
An unexpected alliance is forming between two gaming worlds. Ubisoft is teaming up with Bluepoch Games to deliver a major crossover event in Reverse: 1999, a turn-based tactical RPG that’s been making waves since its release. For the first time ever, global servers will unite to host a crossover event as unprecedented as it is exciting.

The Return of a Legendary Hero
It’s official: Ezio Auditore, the iconic figure of Assassin’s Creed II, will join the world of Reverse: 1999, alongside the protagonists of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. This global collaboration, scheduled for August 2025, marks a historic moment for both franchises. For players, it’s a rare opportunity to once again step into the boots of the master Assassin—this time, in a totally reimagined setting.
More than 15 years later, Ezio’s return in such a bold and unexpected universe proves that some heroes never age. His charisma, his story, and his hidden blades continue to captivate millions of fans eager to follow him into new adventures—far from his usual playground.
An Event in Two Acts
The collaboration will unfold in two distinct phases, each offering a unique narrative and visual experience:
- Phase 1: Welcome to Renaissance Florence, where Ezio’s story began in 2009. Expect Italian flair, grand palaces, and conspiracies beneath the red rooftops.
- Phase 2: Journey to Ancient Greece with Kassandra and Alexios, the powerful leads from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Dive into a mythological world filled with epic battles.
Reverse: 1999 — A Rising Phenomenon
Since its launch in October 2023, Reverse: 1999 has attracted over 30 million players worldwide. Developed by Bluepoch Games, this turn-based RPG stands out for its original universe and polished gameplay. With this partnership with Ubisoft, the game takes a bold step forward by welcoming, for the first time, a legendary figure from beyond its own lore.
For this large-scale crossover, Bluepoch is going all out: all Reverse: 1999 servers will launch the event simultaneously. It’s a first in the game’s history, ensuring equal progression and a truly shared global experience.
Get your cloaks ready and sharpen those blades: this August, past and present will merge in a gaming spectacle like no other.
