Major game anniversaries often produce special editions, remasters, and merchandise, but few celebrations match the scale of PureArts’ newest Assassin’s Creed collectible. The company has announced a 1/2-scale Edward Kenway statue inspired by Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, with a $2,999 price and a worldwide production run of only 500 pieces. It is scheduled to arrive in Q2 2027, the same year the franchise reaches its 20th anniversary.
A premium Edward Kenway centerpiece
The statue presents Edward in a combat-ready pose, holding his cutlass and flintlock pistol. PureArts is using premium materials and extensive character detailing to distinguish it from a conventional polyresin figure. The portrait includes silicone skin, glass eyes, and individually punched hair, while the Assassin outfit combines fabrics, leather, metal components, and other textiles.
Each piece will be individually numbered and supplied with a matching certificate of authenticity. Those details position the release as a high-end collector’s item rather than ordinary franchise merchandise. Buyers who do not want to pay the full amount immediately can use a 16-month payment plan offered by PureArts.
The release is timed for Assassin’s Creed’s 20th anniversary
The original Assassin’s Creed launched in 2007, making 2027 a significant year for Ubisoft’s long-running series. Although Edward Kenway’s story belongs to Black Flag rather than the first game, his statue represents one of the franchise’s most recognizable eras and is being delivered during the broader anniversary window.
The timing also connects the collectible to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, described in the source as the franchise’s latest release. That makes the statue both a celebration of a recent game and a retrospective piece for the series as a whole.
How it fits Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed plans
The statue is arriving alongside continued interest in Ubisoft’s wider Assassin’s Creed pipeline. Assassin’s Creed Hexe is believed to be targeting 2026 and is set in Witch Hunt-era Germany. Unlike the PureArts product, Hexe will be sold as a standard-priced game and will be produced for a conventional audience rather than being restricted to 500 collectors.
That contrast highlights the different ways Ubisoft’s franchise is being presented: new games are expanding its future, while premium releases such as PureArts’ statue monetize its established characters and history. The statue’s Q2 2027 target leaves room for it to become one of the anniversary year’s most expensive official-style fan products.

Expert View
This announcement signals how Assassin’s Creed can support both mass-market releases and exceptionally expensive collector products. A 500-unit run creates scarcity, while the materials, numbering, and certificate give the statue a stronger identity as a premium display piece. For the community, the price will make it inaccessible to most fans, but its anniversary timing and focus on Edward Kenway give collectors a clear reason to consider it. The broader franchise strategy remains split between future games such as Hexe and heritage-focused items that turn established characters into luxury merchandise.
