Assassin’s Creed, one of Ubisoft’s most popular gaming franchises, has announced a series of customizable “smart collectibles” featuring both digital and physical components.
The collectibles are set to drop on May 16 and consist of a transparent 3D-printed cube with a character figure inside, along with a Polygon-based NFT called a “Digital Soul” which provides proof of ownership.
End/ . . . It’s that simple!
Our goal is to add new layers of collecting to allow fans to truly showcase their personality and rarity tastes. Digital identifiers pairing with physical identifiers will allow for this ✔️
Make sure you get involved with our project!

Fans of the series will need to purchase a Digital Soul NFT, which comes in two tiers of rarity. From there, they can then customize their character with different poses, outfits and weapons and have the final product shipped to their door.
The amount of available customizations is of course tied to the level or rarity the person buys.
The “smart” aspect of the collectibles comes via an embedded near-field communication (NFC) chip placed on the 3D cube, and an IRL companion app.
Upon scanning or tapping the physical collectibles, users can access the app to complete achievements and earn various “items, recipes, loot boxes” and other utilities.
The collection is part of a broader project in partnership with Integral Reality Labs which the Assassin’s Creed team describes as a “co-reality platform.”
The platform will soon have a marketplace to trade Assassin’s Creed collectibles, and it is also set to host the sale of the “Pieces of Eden Pass” NFTs.
The collection consists of 1,500 tokens that offer access to exclusive perks and experiences, along with a “unique limited edition” Digital Soul NFT.
“. . no greater glory than fighting to find the truth.”
