Skipton, WY, UK – 29/11/2024 – Assassin’s Creed has had some truly unique Swords over the years, but arguably the most iconic is the Sword of Altaïr from the original Assassin’s Creed. Now you can own this truly legendary piece of gaming history for yourself, with the official release coming today, Black Friday!
This beautifully sculpted sword was meticulously crafted using over 200 references and hundreds of hours of gameplay from the original Assassin’s Creed released in 2007. Having to reverse-engineer this sword from nothing but low-res polygons and pixels to create this stunning 1:1 scale replica, Raven Forge also drew heavily on their own sword fighting background to not only know how this sword should look, but also the size and more importantly, how it should feel.
This is an arming sword, a knightly sword, the sword that is drawn in emergencies when subtlety has failed and armed combat is the only option. Heavy enough to parry a guard’s blade, light enough to be moved with ease. The swooping eagle quillons or cross guards have been made aggressive and angular, simulating a hunting bird of prey. The signature reversed “V” on the blade below the triple fullers is meticulously hand-ground on each sword that passes through our doors. When you hold this sword, you’ll know you’re holding the legendary sword of Altaïr.
With a beautiful wall plaque in the shape of the Assassin’s Creed logo and painted in the colours of the brotherhood accompanying the polished stainless steel and spiral black leather of the replica sword, and a stunning double-sided certificate of authenticity, as well as a hidden easter egg for the true fans, this is the ultimate addition to any Assassin’s Creed, prop replica weapon, or indeed any pop culture collection anywhere.
With the partnership between Ubisoft and Raven Forge now well established, we can expect to see some more highly collectable legendary weapons and products coming out soon that will excite the Assassin’s Creed fanbase as much as the Sword of Altaïr has!
With this being the first of a highly anticipated collection of legendary items from iconic games, TV and Films, Raven Forge continues to push forward into the world of high-end collectables, with more very close on the horizon.
