Video Game-Branded Root Beers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sprecher Brewing Company Marks the Debut of Assassin’s Creed Shadows

— February 14, 2025 — Marketing
Sprecher Brewing Company has partnered with Ubisoft to launch a limited-edition root beer in celebration of the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This collaboration features a 16-ounce can adorned with custom artwork and includes an exclusive in-game reward — the Slash of Sprecher Naginata, a powerful weapon designed to enhance gameplay.

The partnership aims to bridge the gap between gaming culture and real-world experiences as the Assassin’s Creed Shadows-inspired root beer combines Sprecher’s signature craft soda craftsmanship with the immersive world of the popular video game. Sprecher’s reputation for high-quality, fire-brewed sodas adds another layer of excitement for the video game-branded product.

The partnership between Sprecher Brewing Company and Ubisoft exemplifies how brands can creatively engage with their communities.
