Assassin's Creed's Ezio Delivers Surprise Message to Fans at AEW All In

Key Takeaways

  • Will Ospreay’s AEW entrance featured Ezio’s message, ninjas, and Assassin’s Creed-inspired attire, promoting the upcoming game release.
  • Ubisoft and AEW partnered for this surprise promotion, sparking speculation about potential future video game collaborations within the wrestling community.
  • Fans are excited about the possibility of special content featuring Will Ospreay in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, hinting at more exciting crossovers to come.

In a fun twist, the legendary character Ezio from the popular game series “Assassin’s Creed” made a hidden appearance during AEW’s “All In London,” as part of wrestler Will Ospreay’s grand entrance. Given that many wrestling enthusiasts are already acquainted with Will Ospreay’s character being heavily influenced by the “Assassin’s Creed” franchise, it comes as no surprise that he adorns his entrances much like the game, and even employs a move similar to Ezio’s Hidden Blade in his arsenal. This is why fans refer to him as the Aerial Assassin.

With the game set for release on November 15, 2024, promotions for it have also increased. Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ gameplay footage and video walkthroughs have continued to appear on many news outlets and websites. Surprisingly, All Elite Wrestling has also partnered up with Ubisoft to help promote the upcoming entry, and it did so during one of the company’s biggest events of the year, AEW All In London.

In the style of Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio, a message was conveyed towards Will Ospreay during his entrance at AEW All In London. The impressive entrance showcased ninjas executing tricks while donning Assassin’s Creed hoodies, designed with hues reminiscent of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Following this, a montage was displayed consisting of Ezio’s voiceover combined with footage from both Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Will Ospreay’s best moments. The Assassin’s Creed Shadows scenes showcased both Yasuke and Naoe, with the latter replicating the renowned dive off a traditional Japanese building’s peak. The text version of Ezio’s speech is provided below.

What Message Did Ezio Auditore da Firenze Leave For Will Ospreay?

Hi Mr. Ospreay, I’m Ezio Auditore da Firenze, an acquaintance you may not recognize yet. There’s a tale about a rogue assassin who adheres to a specific code, and it seems your life mirrors that legend. Born on English soil, the mist of this land is etched into your being; its way of life resonates within you. It was here where you discovered your purpose. Later, you were drawn to a place where the sun greets the earth daily, emulating Japanese legends by taking flight and becoming a warrior. However, greater tests lay ahead on western shores, another continent to conquer. Regrettably, you’ve strayed from your path. The tools you bear have been abandoned. Weighed down by the sins of a misguided patriot. A shadow of doubt hangs over your objective. But tonight, as we stand where your journey first began, I encourage you to recall what defines you – all the battles you’ve won, and now more than ever, seek guidance in our creed encapsulated by these phrases: “We labor in darkness to uphold light.” We are assassins.

Following the montage, Will Ospreay emerged dressed in a costume reminiscent of “Assassin’s Creed”, sporting red, black, and gold attire, accompanied by two banners signaling the November 15 release date for “Assassin’s Creed Shadows”. The commentators recognized this collaboration and further touted the game’s upcoming launch. Will Ospreay shared his entrance video on Twitter, generating much excitement from fans. Although some anticipated that Ospreay would make a display or statement related to his “Assassin’s Creed” influence, many were taken aback to see Ezio depicted.

Apart from the grand entrance and attire, not much has been said regarding the partnership between Ubisoft and All Elite Wrestling. Whether this was a one-time thing could be anybody’s guess. But with many people on the AEW roster being avid gamers, it’s possible that more video game collaborations could come in the future. Many fans have been asking for Ospreay to be added to THQ’s AEW Fight Forever. However, Ubisoft could take advantage by having a Will Ospreay skin or attire as special content for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
