Assassin's Creed is a product in the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond series that was released by Wizards of the Coast on July 5, 2024.
This is a cross-over product based on Assassin's Creed, an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft.
The Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, or Hidden Ones, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin–Templar conflict in the present-day framing story, with the latter using advanced technology to view the former's memories.
The first Assassin's Creed was released in 2007, and it has featured twelve main games in total, the most recent being Assassin's Creed Mirage in 2023. The main games in the Assassin's Creed series are set in an open world and played from the third-person view. Gameplay revolves around combat, stealth, and exploration, including the use of parkour to navigate the environment. The games feature both main and side missions, and some titles also include competitive and cooperative multiplayer game modes.
Assassin's Creed is Modern-legal. The main set contains 100 cards (including 20 reprints). It is targeted to 60-card formats but also allows for Commander play. The main way of distribution is through the newly introduced Beyond Boosters. There are no Commons in the main set.
