And happy birthday to Ezio Auditore da Firenze—the legendary Master Assassin who stole hearts and sent Templars crashing into the Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft, obviously, stuck to its tradition and ended up tweeting for this character, and gamers? They most definitely had opinions.
Well, Ezio is an untouchable legacy. The replies came in floodgates, and people were dubbing him the “Greatest Assassin of all-time,” and I do think we owe them no lies. Denzel Robert (@CephasDenzel) put it down simply and powerfully: “Greatest Assassins to ever live.” Whereas @NaloWolf kept it simple and to the point: “Best Assassin of all-time.”
And there was praise that ignited the never-ending argument about the franchise’s golden era. @Xpgamer11 came in with the cold hard truth: “Series went downhill after his story ended.” Ouch. But yeah, they do kind of have a point—ezio’s trilogy (Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations) is deemed by a big part of the fanbase to be the best of AC. As for modern AC, @Fearlesscreed dragged it and said, “Remember when AC was about assassins killing corrupt assholes instead it have become fcking joke.” Brutal, but… fair?
Then, the demands. The gamers weren’t merely reminiscing but demanding Ezio’s comeback. @ranked27 pleaded, “Pls pls pls an ezio trilogy remaster,” while @NephilimCry was getting desperate with “Ezio Trilogy Remake when 🥺.” Ubisoft, are you hearing this? And @Hyatt4MVP? Hit us with a crossover banger: “BRING HIM BACK TO FORTNITE.” Imagine Ezio cranking 90s. Iconic.
Oh, the nostalgia was strong. @CKaloush got a little sentimental: “Take me back to these times…. I miss them dearly.” Same, bro. Same. @iKharrma went with the flow, saying Ezio is “one of the last great AC characters because all of them have flopped since.” Oof, but also… facts.
Of course, AC talk is never complete without the classic creed: “Nothing is true, everything is permitted.” @RoyShaheb dropped the line like a mic, and honestly, he couldn’t have been more on point.
Here’s the weirdest curveball. According to @DivineShadow15, Ezio shares a birthday with Lionel Messi. “Two goats in one day,” they said. Mind. Blown.
Not everyone was in a celebratory mood, though. @scary_mrjo threw some shade at Ubisoft: “Didn’t ubisoft spit on this franchise.” And @Heisrein199 took the conspiratorial route: “Back when your dev teams were not infected with degenerate wokies…” Yikes.
Still, the Ezio-love outweighed the saltiest of remarks. Italian fans like @Svarcy2 and @EDJ8A dropped Buon compleanno and Buona fortuna amico mio to back the claim that Ezio’s charm crosses languages.
So, what do we take from all of this? Ezio Auditore is not just a character but a legend. Whether you are begging for the remake, mourning the old AC days, or just stuck in nostalgia, what is clear is that the mentor of the Brotherhood still takes a chokehold on the hearts of gamers.
Excuse me while I go play Brotherhood again for the fiftieth time. Requiescat in pace, indeed.
