Ezio Auditore: Ubisoft Japan's Favorite Character
Ubisoft Japan's 30th-anniversary celebration culminated in the announcement of their Character Awards, with Assassin's Creed's Ezio Auditore da Firenze securing the top spot! This online poll, open from November 1st, 2024, allowed fans to vote for their three favorite characters across Ubisoft's extensive game library.
The results, revealed on Ubisoft Japan's website and X (formerly Twitter), showcase Ezio's enduring popularity. To celebrate, Ubisoft Japan created a special webpage featuring Ezio in a unique artistic style, along with four free downloadable wallpapers (PC and mobile). A lottery will also award 30 lucky fans with an Ezio acrylic stand set, and 10 will receive an exclusive 180cm Ezio body pillow.
The top ten characters are:
- Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, Liberation)
- Aiden Pearce (Watch Dogs)
- Edward James Kenway (Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag)
- Bayek (Assassin's Creed Origins)
- Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (Assassin's Creed)
- Wrench (Watch Dogs)
- Pagan Min (Far Cry)
- Eivor Varinsdottir (Assassin's Creed Valhalla)
- Kassandra (Assassin's Creed Odyssey)
- Aaron Keener (The Division 2)
A separate poll for most popular franchise also crowned Assassin's Creed the winner, followed by Rainbow Six Siege and Watch Dogs. The Division and Far Cry rounded out the top five franchises.
