Will Ospreay‘s passion for the Assassin’s Creed franchise continues to shine through in the world of professional wrestling.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Will Ospreay recently spoke with Gameranx. When asked about his latest Assassin’s Creed entrance that took place in Wembley Stadium at AEW All Out, Ospreay spoke about how the pieces came together for that specific entrance.
“Mate, honestly, when we started getting the pieces put together, man. Because, we had done one previously at WrestleKingdom back in January, and they (Ubisoft) said it had gotten crazy numbers on their social media platforms. So, they were so happy with it that they wanted to do it again at Wembley,” Will Ospreay said.
“They asked me vision of ‘how I see it,’ and I was like, ‘I just wanna see some parkour guys running around, I wanna see something that is like this generation of Assassin’s Creed fans,’ and I truly feel like if you were to like make an Assassin’s Creed game right now, I do feel it would be more like a youth-style parkour freerunning era. Then, when we were putting it together, and they were like, ‘We want to induct you into the Brotherhood,’ I was like, ‘There’s only one guy for the job.’
“At first, they were like, ‘We don’t want to do it because he’s not in Shadows,’ but I was just like, ‘No, anyone who knows Assassin’s Creed, Ezio’s the guy. It has to be him.’ When we got all the voice tracks for it, I was losing my flipping mind. It was a huge group effort. Ubisoft, my team, AEW, it was such a collaborative effort. I have never felt more cool in my entire life, Bruv. This was the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”
Will Ospreay is the perfect spokesman for Assassin’s Creed
When it was mentioned to him that he was the perfect spokesman for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Ospreay said the game connected with him and he’s connected to the community.
“It just resonated with me, man. I can’t tell you all the reasons, but when I was growing up, I loved parkour. And there was this game that had these historical stories that kind of bent the truth in weird ways to fit their narrative. It’s almost like alternative reality and that’s what I liked about it.
“It’s designed to take you on a little journey and I just think it’s taught me a lot and it spoke to me as a kid and influenced me and it’s literally the sole reason that I have a career. Anytime I get to promote it, anytime I get to talk about it, I hope people do see my passion. Because it’s something that’s been with me since I was 18-19 years old. It speaks to me, it just makes me feel like there’s a community out there that enjoys these games. I’m connected with that community.”
