In this competitive adventure game for 1–4 players, participants dive into the virtual realm of the Animus to explore different historical eras and compete with each other to eliminate Templar targets.
During the match, each player takes on the role of one of the legendary assassins, possessing a unique set of abilities, gear, and action cards. The gameplay is built around asymmetric mechanics that force players to adapt to the specifics of the chosen era.

To complete objectives and earn victory points, players use special “memory blocks”. At the same time, the game offers a flexible tactical approach: targets can be eliminated and rivals challenged either via stealth or by engaging in open combat.
