Assassins Creed’s Ezio Makes a Surprise Cameo
In one of the most unexpected crossovers in recent gaming, the legendary Assassin’s Creed hero Ezio Auditore has made a surprise appearance—not in his own series, but as an outfit for a superhero in the popular team-based shooter, Marvel Rivals.
The cameo arrives as part of the game’s fifth season, which introduces the X-Men couple Gambit and Rogue to the roster. Gambit, the charming mutant who charges objects with kinetic energy, has received a new cosmetic skin titled “Thieves Guildmaster.” The outfit is an unmistakable homage to Ezio, featuring the iconic white-and-red robes, hood, and leather bracers of the Renaissance Assassin.
The developers at NetEase lean into the reference with a playful in-game description that reads, “Bravo, Remy! You still fight like an assassin more than a thief. Which are you?” This fun nod acknowledges the skin’s direct inspiration from Ubisoft’s flagship franchise.

The new skin launches alongside Gambit on November 14. In another neat detail for Marvel fans, the characters are voiced by A.J. LoCascio (Gambit) and Lenore Zann (Rogue), who also voice the characters in the critically acclaimed X-Men ’97 animated series.
