Much like the Spanish Inquisition busting through my front door, this was completely unexpected. Square Enix talked a big game when they first announced Final Fantasy XV, pledging a steady support of content for the long-gestating latest entry in the core franchise. Why work on a sequel when you could take a pretty decent game and slot in new adventures ad-hoc for it, right?

If you do that full sequel model of expanding on an IP or a series, its good in certain ways. The negative of that is theres a very large open period where youre not releasing anything, director Hajime Tabata still said to Polygon.

Which makes sense, as Final Fantasy XV is plugging itself into the Animus to bring players all manner of Assassins Creed content in a crossover with Ubisofts premiere franchise of back-stabbery. No really, this is actually happening. August 30 will see the city of Lesatalium put on an Assassins Festival as Noctis and co. suit up in the garb of a familiar brotherhood. Heres a trailer to prove that I havent been smoking medical marijuana again. And even if I had, its for my glaucoma. I know I dont have glaucoma but its preventative medicine, okay?

That looks like a pretty decent slice of crossover action, borrowing quite a few familiar mechanics from the popular series. I kind of dig collaborations like this. Ubisoft has yet to mention if their upcoming return to the world of Assassins Creed will have a few Final Fantasy links, but I wouldnt be surprised if a certain stupidly massive sword or some familiar faces pop up as Easter eggs in that game come October 27.
