Admittedly Ubisoft has a rather unique fashion sense when it comes to outfitting the protagonist of any Assassin’s Creed game. Even the originals possessed some rather intricate designs when it came to certain characters. So, of course, when we clock the talented individuals who replicate the Creed aura to perfection – we can’t help but stand and applaud.
Assassin’s Creed has had its fair share of next-level outfits, and over the years the player has been given a much more in-depth feel for the iconic threads. Fast-forward to the present day, and you’ll quickly discover the many customizable variations for every hero. From bracers to cloaks, hoods to belt buckles – Ubisoft has spiraled into a whole new world of art. And now, people are bending head over heel to steal the many designs for cosplay use.
Here are the ten best Assassin’s Creed cosplays that look just like the game.
10 Jacob Frye
Now then, moving over to the Industrial Revolution, where top hats and canes were all the rage in 19th Century London. Jacob Frye, the lesser of two mischievous siblings, is a definite staple on Victorian fashion. With a combination of both charm and whit, Jacob portrays himself as the mystery man with a key to all secrets.
Rick Boer, who can be seen above as the British assassin, Jacob Frye, has of course executed the outfit to a fine tee. From the pattern on his waistcoat to the engravings in the hidden blade – Jacob Frye comes to life through the fog of London beautifully.
9 Kassandra
Thanks to Shiva Cosplay, Assassin’s Creed lovers probably would’ve looked twice when scrolling past the outstanding Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.
Kassandra is one of the more complex protagonists, and by no means is her outfit an easy spool of threads. But, for the amazingly artistic Shiva Cosplay, Kassandra is merely a stepping stone on what is sure to be a very bright future in cosplay.
8 Evie Frye
Evie Frye, who is more or less known for being the smarter sibling of the assassin duo, has the secretive edge that Jacob Frye lacks. With a more delicate approach to the work, Evie makes up for Jacob’s shortcomings both mentally and physically.
Evie Frye is the blade in the crowd that every assassin thrives to become. And it’s the very threads seen above that make Evie one of the most subtle assassins in the franchise. Dominique Boer, who cosplays Evie Frye, has indeed portrayed Frye flawlessly here. From the twisted dagger to the jagged collar – Boer has captured the essence of the heroine with great precision.
7 Edward Kenway
Edward Kenway shot to fame after Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag soared to brilliant heights upon launch. Thanks to the swift change in direction and a fresh hero to ponder over, Ubisoft fans were quickly drawn to the pirate as they sailed the seas on a savage quest to pillage the rich souls of the Caribbean.
Italian model Leon Chiro was able to paint the picture-perfect portrait of the great pirate turned assassin. Heck, even the stance is an exact copy of the official game posters. These detailed accessories and weapons combined truly do stack up to create the Edward Kenway every Assassin’sCreed fan both know and adore.
6 Alexios
It’s one thing pulling off the heroic stance of Alexios. But using the glorious backdrop of ancient Greece is something that genuinely takes cosplay to a whole new level. This is something Cyperian Workshop has gripped incredibly well and executed with style.
Any Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey fan will feel at home when gazing at the beauty of the stunning setting of trickling waters and floating mountains. Plus, with Alexios standing strong as the centerpiece to the rather wondrous portrait, no gamer can deny the raw passion that has been injected into the cosplayer’s vision.
5 Assassin’s Creed Mix
There’s nothing more impressive than a die-hard Assassin’sCreed fan who devotes both time and effort into crafting annual cosplays. This is something regular cosplay fanatic Collin Kelley manages to do each year like clockwork. From the intricate designs of each Assassin’s outfit to the embellished patterns nailed to the weaponry they hold, Kelley captures the heart of each hero and brings them to life with ease.
Going as far back as the original Assassin’sCreed timeline, Kelley has been attending cosplay events and representing the brotherhood like a walking, talking Ubisoft advert. Now, as another year unfolds, Kelley will be looking to construct the next design that’ll more than likely blow followers away once more.
4 Altaïr
As gamers flock to the later sequences in the Assassin’s Creed timeline, it’s often nice to step back and bask among the earlier faces of the franchise, which built the brotherhood from scratch. Take Altaïr, for example. Altaïr will always be, in many long-term fans’ eyes, the original and most recognizable face in the Assassin’sCreed history.
From the throwing daggers in his belt to the detailed scar running from cheekbone to chin, Rick Boer, once again, puts the hero in the spotlight and sends nostalgic shivers down our spines.
3 Élise de la Serre
Casting a shadow a little further from the infamous assassin spotlight, model and artist Souli Cosplay brings the French noblewoman Élise de la Serre to the stage. Although not involved with the brotherhood, Élise de la Serre plays a supporting role to the playable assassin, Arno Dorian, during the Unity chapters.
It’s a rarity to see such elegance in the world of assassins and corrupt Templars. But, with Souli Cosplay stepping in to transform grit to glamour, the world surrounding the franchise can easily be manipulated for all the right reasons.
2 Assassin’s Creed: Unity Mix
There’s something quite beautiful about seeing a band of characters stand alongside one another to recreate a world. Thanks to Youdid Cosplay, the French chapters from Assassin’s Creed: Unity spiral from the virtual world to the lifelike platform.
From the iconic personas to the fluorescent strike of crisp colors lighting the spark of the French Revolution, Youdid Cosplay takes Unity by the hand and delivers an award-winning scene. Only now, curious followers will be looking to the cosplay team for their next project. Here’s hoping the forthcoming year will be an exciting new journey full of new challenges.
1 Ezio Auditore
Assassin’sCreed wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular if it weren’t for the charming original Ezio Auditore. In fact, it would be almost impossible to build a list of compelling characters and not feature him. This is why the number one spot has to be handed over to Leon Chiro, for his impressive rendition of everybody’s favorite assassin.
Ezio Auditore captured the hearts of every gamer in the community since day one. From the teenage years of the second sequence to the greying days of Revelations, Ezio played one of the most memorable parts in video game history. And now, thanks to Leon Chiro, Assassin’s Creed supporters are able to feel closer to the hero than ever before.
