The Assassin's Creed series has taken place in many different eras with several iconic
characters.
Who doesn't like diving, slashing, and stabbing like an Assassin?
But what most gamers don't realize is that there are tons of references to Assassin's
Creed in other video games.
Many games love to copy the Assassin's Creed leap of faith or even the famous weapons of
the series.
Let's take a look at 15 surprising Assassin's Creed references.
Witcher 2 The Witcher has its own iconic tough guy.
Geralt is just as adept at swinging a sword even if he does add a little dark magic while
doing so.
But in The Witcher 2 he pokes fun at Assassin's Creed when when he comes across a fallen fighter
near a haystack.
Geralt may be a little less daring, but also a little safer by avoiding heights.
Goat Simulator Goat Simulator is a parody within itself,
but this one section of the game is ridiculous.
In Goat Simulator the Leap of Faith is more like a leap of fail.
Goats don't exactly make the best assassins.
Infamous 2 In Infamous there's a movie theater with a
few parodied video game name references including Assassin's Creed.
Now playing in theaters, it's Assassin's Need Love Too.
Blood Dragon Blood Dragon is known for poking fun at gaming
and retro culture.
But the main character, Rex Colt flat out protests a certain collectible in Assassin's
Creed 2.
Remember the feather collecting that seemed to take forever to achieve 100% completion?
Rex didn't like it either.
Hitman Sniper Challenge The Silent Assassin takes a jab at Assassin's
Creed.
In Hitman Absolution, Agent 47 straight up guns down a target that looks like he's about
to perform a leap of faith.
Looks like coincidence?
Look and listen.
We hear the iconic eagle sound, but this is not an eagle dive.
Saints Row 3 In Saint's Row:The Third there is an achievement
called�Everything is Permitted, which is a phrase in the Creed of the Assassins.
Far Cry 4 Assassin's Creed hidden pirate corpse There's a somewhat obvious reference to Black
Flag in Far Cry 4.
If you travel to a certain disclosed location, you'll see a pirate corpse just lying out
in the open.
Definitely a nod to the pirates in Black Flag.
Far Cry 4 Abstergo Logo Trudging around in Far Cry 4's open world.
There's an abstergo logo hidden down below.
Just like the one in Assassin's Creed 4.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 In Final Fantasy XIII-2 there's a DLC costume
featuring Ezio Auditore's outfit from Assassin's Creed Revelations
Watch Dogs Hacking People Playing Assassin's Creed
In Watch Dogs there's also a little easter egg you probably wouldn't expect.
If you hack the third item from the left inside the main base, there's a little video that
plays which pokes fun at Assassin's Creed gameplay.
Watch Dogs Character Trailer Did you notice the Assassin's Creed reference
in the Watch Dogs trailer.
You have to look super close to see it.
Here, I'll play it for you.
Did you get it.
Look at the CD collection stack.
It's an assassin's Creed CD.
Dead Island Assassin's Greed In Dead Island, there's an unlockable weapon
called Assassin's Greed.
And just as you would expect, it's a short blade weapon.
Team Fortress 2 Assassin Weapons.
Even Team Fortress 2 loves the stealth and the weapons from the Assassin's Creed series.
There's a weapon for the spy class that's a hidden blade similar to Ezio's from Assassin's
Creed 2.
Lego Lord Of The Rings In Lego Lord of The Rings, there's a quick
jump off a tower, but the devs must have felt nostalgic because they gave it the trademark
design of an Assassin's Creed Leap of Faith.
Peace Walker Leap Of Faith In Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, there's
a little spot where you can jump off of a rooftop and land in a haystack just like an
assassin.
Ironically, Metal Gear Solid takes it a step further and uses it like the classic cardboard
box stealth mechanic.
