Sharpen your hidden blades and prepare for a glitch in the Animus. To celebrate For Honor’s 10th Anniversary, Ubisoft has officially brought back its most iconic crossover: the For the Creed Throwback Event.

The latest trailer just dropped, and it’s a nostalgic trip through the Leap of Faith, featuring some shiny new toys for 2026. If you missed the original 2018 run or the 2024 return, now is your chance to step back into the eternal war between Assassins and Templars.

The Trailer Breakdown: Shadow and Steel

The new trailer highlights the return of the Assassini e Templari game mode—a modified Dominion match where the stakes are significantly higher. Forget simple zone capturing; you’re here to draw out the commanders.

• The Commanders: You’ll be facing off against (or protecting) legendary figures Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Cesare Borgia.
• The Maps: Citadel Gate, River Fort, and Beachhead have all been given an Animus makeover, complete with glitch effects and Assassin/Templar banners.
• The Drop: The iconic “Leap of Faith” drop attack animation is back for all heroes during the event. There’s nothing quite like plunging from a balcony to take out an unsuspecting Shugoki.

New for 2026: Shadows and Valhalla Skins

While it’s a “throwback” event, Ubisoft isn’t just recycling old content. The trailer revealed three massive new Hero Skins that tie into the wider Assassin’s Creed universe, specifically focusing on AC Shadows and AC Valhalla:

Hero	Skin Name	Inspiration
Shinobi	Naoe the Swift	Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Shugoki	Yasuke the Brave	Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Berserker	Eivor Wolf-Kissed	Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Pro Tip: These skins aren’t just cosmetic. They feature custom voice lines from the original actors. Naoe and Yasuke speak in their original Japanese dialogue, while Eivor’s lines are performed entirely in Icelandic.

Loot and Rewards

The Free Event Pass is live from April 23 to May 14. By simply playing the game, you can unlock:

• 38 AC-themed weapons (including new ones for Shinobi and Shugoki).
• Battle Outfits: Battle of Heroes, Valhalla Quest, and Animus Project.
• Effects: The legendary Vitruvian Hero and Templar Synchronisation.
• The “Requiescat in Pace” Execution: The classic hidden blade finisher is available in the shop, and for the first time, the new Hero Skins will use their signature weapons during universal executions.

Final Thoughts

With For Honor entering its tenth year, this event feels like a victory lap. Whether you’re a die-hard Assassin’s Creed fan or just want to see a Shugoki dressed as a Samurai-turned-Legionnaire, there is plenty here to keep the battlefields of Heathmoor busy.

The event is live right now and runs until May 14, 2026. If you haven’t picked up the game yet, it’s currently 85% off on Steam as part of the Medieval Fest.
