Bloody well looks like it
An eagle-eyedKotakureader has spotted a familiar – if unexpected – figure in the recentAssassin’s Creed Syndicatestream: wrestler and all-round I-kick-asses-for-a-living-dude, Brock Lesnar.
To check it out for yourself, head to theofficial reveal stream and jump in around 21.05. And because I’m lovely, here’s a handy close-up, just for you:
And here’s a close up of the artwork on Lesnar’s back:
That kind of similarity isn’t coincidental; it’sdeliberateand intentional and, let’s be honest, more than a tiny bit awesome.
Does it mean Brock Lesnar is in the upcomingAssassin’s Creedgame? Probably not, particularly as we’re looking at concept art rather than in-game graphics. But given he appears to be whacking former UFC champFrank Mirin the face, anything’s possible, right?
I hope they had permission to use his likeness, though. Can’t say I’d want to get on the wrong side of him.
We’ve reached out to Ubisoft and will let you know what it has to say.
