This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: 26th March -1st April 2022

Welcome to the new weekly virtual photography roundup hosted by Aaron Young from The AC Partnership Program. 

​

Every week, we will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community. 

​

Aaron is a keen virtual photographer and loves to post his journeys through Assassin’s Creed on Twitter. 

​

Keep an eye on the site as more weekly shots are added, we are looking for capture across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to the #TOWCBWeeklyCapture for a chance to be featured.

1) Wildlife​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla​

This week’s first capture comes from @GeeketteAna over on Twitter​

A first wildlife capture for our weekly roundup. I really like the Autumnal feel of this shot, with the fox as the main focal point. This truly is a beautiful photo. I feel like Valhalla really nails the design of foxes in the game. After playing Ghost of Tsushima I never thought this possible.

2) Cave

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

Photo number two comes from @_Jellybird over on Twitter.

​

Sticking with Valhalla and we have a wonderful shot of Eivor exiting a cave ready for battle. I love the details on this one with the rippling water and the egg shaped cave entrance.

The lighting is on point to, giving a window like feel. Not quite sure where this is on the game but I would like to find it.

3) England’s Beauty

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

This week’s third shot comes from @Chris25551 over on Twitter.

​

I picked this shot because of its beauty. Valhalla has such great scenery, and this showcases it. A fantastic, almost painting like capture that encompasses the range of colours in England.

The sun breaking through the clouds creating a misty haze adds to the mystery of this shot.

4) Nefertiti’s Throne

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins

​

VP number four comes from @ophierian_vp over on Twitter.

​

A change of game now for capture number four. This tilted image gives a great sense of depth to a sun-drenched imagine of Nefertiti’s Throne.

It’s been a long time since I played the Curse of the Pharaohs, but I might just need to make a return after this. I especially love the small details in this shot.

5) Companion 

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

The final capture of the week comes from @Elvira04289 over on Twitter.

​

I like this capture for two reasons: one it showcases Kassandra and Ikaros brilliantly, and in such fine detail.

​

However secondly it made me smile. Ikaros definitely looks like he is photobombing here. I miss Senu and Ikaros so much, as they were great additions to their respective games.

And that sums it up for this week’s Assassin’s Creed virtual photography recap list!

Thank you for checking out this week’s photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them. Until next week keep those shots coming in!
