UbiBlog meets community
In recent years, Ubisoft has constantly pushed for some kind of web of interconnectivity withAssassin’s Creed. There are companion apps, franchise hubs, and forums to tie the community together. Now, Ubisoft’s trying something new, and it’s a lot like its own take on reddit but with points that actually matter.
Ubisoft’s latest creation isAssassin’s Creed Council. It’s a place where fans and developers can co-mingle by posting whatever’s on their mind. In theory, it should probably beAssassin’s Creed-related. There’s an upvote/downvote system, and members accrue points based on how popular and well-received their posts are.
The interesting twist is that, unlike similar message boards, those lifetime points have, well, a point. Of the people who reach the highest tier possible (Master Assassin at 200,000 points), 30 will be chosen to be Council members for several months at a time. These elite few get perks such as Ubisoft studio visits and invitations to special events.
At the time of writing, the site is only a few days old, and has more than 22,000 members. Given that this seems to be the new hub for activities, it’s possible that theAssassin’s Creedforums could be shut down as all the users are encouraged to joinCouncil. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft about that, and we’ll update when a representative replies.
