Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced – Collector’s Edition
Ubisoft
For the collector’s edition of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft came to TAKEOFF with its hero figurine, a statue of Edward Kenway, and asked us to design everything that would complete the package. Every element had to match the quality of the statue, feel authentic to the world of Black Flag and work as a coherent set, on the shelf and on screen.
ASSASSIN’S CREED BLACK FLAG RESYNCED
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced brings Edward Kenway’s Golden Age of Piracy back to a new generation of players.
CREATIVE PROCESS
At the centre of the edition sits Ubisoft’s highly detailed 31 cm statue of Edward Kenway, seated at the helm of his ship under the Jackdaw’s tattered Assassin flag, with a chest of treasure at his feet: pistols in hand, boots up, utterly at home on the high seas.
Designing around a fixed centrepiece means every other element has to earn its place beside it. Around the statue, we designed the box and the steelbook, a cast metal skull-and-crossbones brooch styled after the Assassin insignia, a cloth map of the Caribbean charting Edward’s voyages, and a hand-bound, hand-illustrated log-book filled with sketches and in-character writing.
Beyond design, we prepared the production files for every item of the edition, so that each piece was ready for manufacture.
To support the launch, we also created the retail and e-retailer mockups of the full collector’s edition, giving Ubisoft and its partners a finished view of the product before a single unit was made.
