The timing here is no accident. With Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced landing this month and the franchise firmly back in the spotlight, the Replay community clip series has made the whole Assassin's Creed series its July theme. That means if you've been pulling off slick Eagle Vision takedowns or threading impossible parkour routes in Assassin's Creed Mirage, now is the month to actually hit record.
Two prizes, two ways to win
Replay runs two separate prizes each month: one for the best clip overall (any game, no restrictions), and one specifically for the themed category. This month that themed prize goes to the best Assassin's Creed clip anyone sends in. Both prizes are worth $250 in Amazon vouchers.
Here's the thing: you don't need to be playing the newest entry to enter. Clips from any game in the franchise count toward the themed prize. A perfectly timed air assassination in Assassin's Creed Origins, a chaotic naval battle from Black Flag, a ghost-mode stealth run through Assassin's Creed Shadows , all of it is fair game. The only real requirement is that the clip is worth watching.
Why this month hits different for AC fans
The franchise is having a genuine moment right now. Black Flag Resynced is the most talked-about release of the summer for Ubisoft, and Assassin's Creed Shadows wrapped its final content update recently, leaving players with a polished open world full of highlight-reel moments still waiting to be clipped. The community is actively playing across multiple entries simultaneously, which makes the clip pool for this month genuinely unpredictable.
What most players miss when thinking about clip submissions is that the memorable moments aren't always the technically perfect ones. A hilarious physics glitch, a guard who walked into the worst possible situation, a stealth chain that somehow worked despite going completely off-script , those tend to land just as well as a flawless multi-target elimination.
Getting your clip submission ready
The submission process is straightforward. Winners are selected by the editorial team at the end of the month, so there's no public voting or popularity contest involved. The key here is capturing something genuinely worth sharing, whether that's a skilled play, a funny moment, or something the game clearly wasn't expecting you to do.
If you need a refresher on the actual mechanics to set up a great moment, the Assassin's Creed Mirage guide collection has solid coverage of stealth systems, ability timing, and traversal tricks that can help you engineer the kind of situation worth recording.
For players across the rest of the franchise or other games entirely, the broader gaming guides hub covers enough ground to help you find your footing before you start hunting for clip-worthy moments.
Submissions are open for the rest of July. The winners get announced at the end of the month, and the best clips get featured and shared. Two prizes, one month, the entire Assassin's Creed back catalogue to pull from. Start recording.
