In the crazy world of gaming merch, another strange find pops up: Assassin’s Creed-branded liquor. One of the products is a whiskey. Rum and vodka are to follow later.
The company is responsible Antheum Studios, dedicated to marketing liquor for well-known brands. In addition to the general straight bourbon whiskey for Assassin’s Creed, a rum for the pirate offshoot Black Flag and a vodka for the latest AC: Valhalla will soon follow.
The alcoholic beverages come in specially designed bottles. If you consider yourself a local connoisseur or collector, you have to make some efforts: The whiskey can only be (pre-)ordered in the USA or bought in various shops in Tennessee.
What is happening in Valhalla? The latest assassin adventure recently got a big DLC:

Now Assassin’s Creed really gets going again! – Mega addon for Valhalla
Merch keeps getting weirder
The world of games is crazy and colorful anyway, and of course that also applies to the products. Sometimes it even gets downright gloomy. You may remember: The first-person shooter Doom also released a spirit – more precisely a vodka made from real bone marrow:

Doom is advertised with liquor
Alcoholic beverages are far from the weirdest merchandise from popular gaming brands. The more the games market has grown in recent decades, the more creative publishers have become with marketing.
And fans are often wild about goodies for their favorite games. Collecting instinct and hype, for example, increased the value of a rare Cyberpunk 2077 beer bottle. Cozy shooter fans could put Destiny scented candles next to the bathtub. To name just a few examples of curious items…
Even companies from outside the industry want to jump on the bandwagon with strong marketing terms. This is how quirky products like these came about gaming socks
by Puma with so-called features
or a “gaming bed” from Bauhütte, which is designed to meet many of the basic needs of gamers.
