Watcher of Realms is adding Assassin’s Creed characters to its fantasy RPG on August 20, 2026. The collaboration brings Ezio, Eivor, Kassandra, Bayek, and Evie Frye into the game’s dark fantasy world of Tya, with a new storyline where the assassins join forces with the game’s heroes to fight bosses including Anubis, Surtr, and Hades.

The crossover includes a new limited-time gameplay mode called Assassin’s Code, built around stealth and assassination mechanics. Players must eliminate enemies from behind while avoiding detection. The collaboration also adds a new story that explains how a dimensional rift brings the Assassin’s Creed characters into Tya.

During the event, players can claim free rewards including a free legendary Ezio character, summons, artifacts, and cosmetics by logging in daily and completing event missions. A redeem code, FreeEpic3rd, grants one of two epic heroes: Elysia or Ai.

Watcher of Realms lands on Windows PC, Android, and iOS. The game is a hero-collection RPG with over 220 characters across 10 factions and features real-time strategic combat where players can reposition heroes during battle.
