Square Enix is bridging the worlds of two globally popular game franchises. The publisher has partnered with Ubisoft to bring Ezio Auditore’s Assassin's Creed Revelations costume into the world of Final Fantasy XIII-2. The optional outfit will be available as DLC and for Noel Kreiss, one of the main characters of the newest Final Fantasy game.

Since the release of Final Fantasy in 1987, this unique RPG series continues to showcase the spectacular visuals, highly imaginative worlds and rich stories leading the industry and earning the highest accolades from users around the world. Titles of the series have so far achieved a cumulative shipment of over 100 million units worldwide (as of June 2011).

Initially launched in 2007, the first three Assassin’s Creed games have sold more than 30 million units worldwide, and the franchise is now established as one of the best-selling series on next-generation consoles. Recognized for having some of the richest, most engrossing storytelling in the industry, Assassin’s Creed has transcended video games, branching out into other entertainment experiences including comic books, Facebook games, novels, short films and more.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations is available now on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and Final Fantasy XIII-2 ships in January.
