IGN is offering free access to its comprehensive guides and interactive maps for several Assassin's Creed titles throughout July. This promotion coincides with the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on July 9, 2026, and provides an opportunity for players to fully explore or complete games in the series.
Until July 31, players can utilize unlimited checks across IGN's guides for Assassin's Creed Shadows, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Assassin's Creed Mirage without requiring a subscription. These resources are designed to aid players in achieving a 100% completion rate, tracking down all collectibles, and navigating the extensive open worlds featured in these games.
For Assassin's Creed Shadows, IGN provides an interactive map of Japan with thousands of marked locations, including Origami Butterflies and Samurai Daisho. Checklists for the game are synchronized with this map, offering real-time progress tracking. Supplemental guides for Shadows include a walkthrough, collectible locations, and a trophy and achievement guide.
Similarly, players revisiting Assassin's Creed Mirage can utilize an interactive map of Baghdad to locate collectibles, equipment, and mission quest givers. The Mirage checklists have been updated to include Gear Chests, with progress syncing between the checklists and the interactive map. Essential guides for Mirage include its walkthrough, enigma locations, and a platinum trophy and achievement guide.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla's extensive world is covered by ten interactive maps, one for each Norse region, including Asgard. These guides, updated last year, feature thorough checklists for collectibles such as Flyting Locations, Artifacts, and Wealth items. The guides also cover the DLC, "A Fated Encounter," with checklists for exploring the Isle of Skye. For Valhalla, players can access a walkthrough, a guide for the DLC, and its interactive maps.
IGN's commitment to supporting players extends to earlier titles in the franchise. Guides and interactive maps are also available for the original Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed Origins, and the original Assassin's Creed Black Flag. The promotion specifically highlights free checklist access for Shadows, Mirage, and Valhalla during July.
