The item Ubisoft has given away to commemorate the anniversary is Switchblade, a katana with a striking design. The weapon stands out for its blue-hued hilt and a tiger-print scabbard in black and orange, accompanied by textile details that match the blade’s aesthetic.

To unlock it, simply redeem the following code:
