Costuming just doesn't seem to get much of the limelight these days. Even as costuming in films continues to get better and better, wardrobes always seem to play second fiddle to CG explosions and fight scenes.
That being said, with a franchise as iconic as Assassin's Creed, it's hard not to notice the outfits. Even back in its earliest outings, the series was instantly recognizable thanks to the distinctive hood-and-robes combo that its protagonists wore into battle. Thankfully, it seems as if the franchise's patented sense of fashion has made the transition to Hollywood: judging from what fans have seen, Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed adaptation is looking like it'll be pretty faithful to its source material.
As it turns out, Ubisoft wants any fan-made costumes to be just as faithful: the publisher released a "cosplay guide" for Aguilar de Nerha's particular set of robes (that's who Michael Fassbender is playing, in case you were wondering), with the promise of another set of high-res photos coming soon.
It's not a step-by-step guide on how to make the costume, but rather an extremely detailed look at the smaller touches that Ubisoft has made — and "extremely detailed" is putting it lightly. If you ever wondered what sort of beads Aguilar wore, Ubisoft has you covered:
Who knew the Assassins were so good with so many different kinds of stitching?
As for the movie itself, there's still a ways to go before Ubisoft's premier video game franchise makes it to the big screen: Assassin's Creed is set to hit theaters on Dec. 21.
