The official Twitter account of Assassin’s Creed extended a holiday greeting, right? They just told the Assassins to keep their cool during the holidays. However, it is quite funny to see the instant uproar in comments. Ubisoft delivered a message of peace and the entire Brotherhood started chanting their wishes in the noisemaker. Classic gamer behavior.
The tweet was simple, just ‘Assassins, this holiday season we must all stay calm and remember that… 👇’, along with the long-used hashtag of the Assassin’s Creed series. However, it was the media that accompanied the tweet which really tells the story. There is a beautiful picture of the Christmas season with the famous saying ‘Nothing is true, everything is forbidden’ but, the funny part, it is all decorated in a Christmas way. ‘Nothing is true, everything is festive.’ One user, Dizzaract, expressed the situation very plainly: a perfect holiday creed from the Brotherhood. Merry Christmas!
But one has to recognize that the replies are the main point, the area of action. The replies are a wild mix of holiday cheer, deep nostalgia, and just plain requests. The atmosphere changed in an instant from ‘Merry Christmas!’ to ‘WHERE IS MY BLACK FLAG REMAKE?!’ Alinajim24 cut right through to the heart of the matter, without any circumlocution: ‘Where is AC Black Flag Remake !!!! 🤢’ The guy is concentrating on what concerns him and that is definitely not the tinsel and eggnog. Besides, he is not completely bonkers. Richard_Moridin was very quick to add: ‘Black flag now shadow drop it will pop up.’ The craving for a comeback to the high seas is not just very real but also quite universally pronounced.
And then the whole subject of Ezio comes up. Xstreambob simply and sadly stated ‘I miss Ezio.’ And to be honest? Precisely. That one did hit harder. It opened up a thread on the topic in which EzioImpavido (by the way, a great username) replied in Italian: ‘Ci sono, sempre. Buon Natale’ which translates to ‘I am here, always. Merry Christmas.’ It was as if there were a small act going on between them amidst the turmoil. So sweet.
But the turmoil is the most amusing part. The gamers are letting loose all kinds of wild opinions. DERPHERPDERPYO is after a 4K 60fps patch for AC Unity on PS5. 123griswold321 is simply asking for a good tungsten farm in AC Valhalla that will still be usable in 2025. JohnRyanParman is calling out ‘remaster Liberation, cowards!’ while Dan_s000 wonders ‘Jewish assassin when’. Coachrandymoore has come up with the classic creed change: ‘Nothing is Truth. AC Jade will never release.’ Friends, the questioning is very much there.
And skadooshboom1 might have had the most… particular historical criticism? ‘Missed opportunity to have Christ appear somehow in Origins :/’ I mean, can you imagine, Bayek and baby Jesus in a meeting? That is a DLC idea waiting to happen! Someone call Ubisoft.
The reply thread is a stunning and chaotic picture of the lifestyle of an average Assassin’s Creed fan. You have the ones who spread the 100% holiday cheer, the nostalgic people who are missing the Ezio time, the practical ones who only want the necessary patches, and the fighters for their beloved game re-releases are all summing up one merry tweet. The community is thrilled and also a bit crazy in a good way.
Wormholeextreme even cracked a funny electrician joke linking it back to the ‘work in the dark to serve the light’ line. ‘What a great time to be an electrician with all those Christmas lights. Cause you know we work in darkness too serve the light. 😂’ See? Even professions are getting the creed.
What can be derived from all these festive social media interactions? Simply put, the Assassin’s Creed user base is one big, affectionate, and very demanding family. When Ubisoft says ‘happy holidays’, the family immediately starts the debate about which of the old games will be the first to be remade and complains about the resource grinding. It has become a custom. Holiday spirit is powerful but the craving for new (or renewed) content is even more powerful. The tweet was a nice gesture, but the replies are what really count—a loud, unfiltered peek into the community’s minds. Which is mostly about Ezio, Black Flag, and where to find digital tungsten. Keep it up, Assassins. Keep it up.
After the digital snow has settled on this exchange, one thing is clear: the Brotherhood’s memory is long and its desire for more adventures is unquenchable. It is doubtful whether Ubisoft even notices these particular updates for Assassin’s Creed Mirage or the passionate demands from fans on other platforms like Xbox.
