While Final Fantasy XV may not get a sequel, that does keep Square Enix from continuing to support the game with new DLC and free updates. The latest example is an unexpected crossover event with Assassin’s Creed.
With the release of an update next week, Lestallum will be home to the limited-time Assassin’s Festival event. This will bring mini-games and exclusive items, as well as “gameplay elements from the Assassin’s Creed game series,” which appear to include the ability to perform a Leap of Faith right in the middle of the city.
The items include Medjay’s Assassin’s Robes that all four main characters can wear to resemble Assassins. Noctis can also get Master Assassin’s Robes through the Dream Egg, which comes from the Moogle Chocobo Carnival that returned recently and runs through the end of September. As the trailer above shows, it’s all a bit dissonant–there’s something strange about seeing Noctis and company dressed like Assassins in Eos while Cindy sits around in her usual outfit.
The Assassin’s Festival begins on August 31 and will run until January 31, 2018. A free update will arrive at the end of the month for both PS4 and Xbox One players.
