We've seen gaming companies collaborate with other entertainment brands so often that we've even come to expect it, especially for live-service games.
However, there are times when a collab happens that's just so far out there that we're caught dumbstruck, and this is one of those times.
Ubisoft's latest collaboration for Assassin's Creed: Shadows is something I'm betting none of you expect to see.
Assassin's Creed: Shadows New Collab Enters The Ring
This collaboration features AEW wrestler Will Ospreay, also known as "The Aerial Assassin," who has themed his ring entrance to Assassin's Creed: Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
In the press release sent out, it mentions Ospreay’s entrance included a custom Assassin's Creed: Shadows-inspired outfit. The entrance even included 12 Shadows-inspired ninjas, each wearing a crest representing past Assassin's Creed titles. Not only that, but voice actor Tyler Yamabe, who played Koshiro in AC Shadows, even provided narration as the ninjas gathered and moved in formation.
I've seen a lot of collabs before, but a pro wrestler's ring entrance themed around a video game? Yeah, I don't see that often -- or at all. Not sure how this translates into sales or whatnot, but Ubisoft must...
