One of Assassin's Creed's best protagonists is Kassandra. Serving as one of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's co-protagonists, she made a rather significant impression on fans, her fierce nature, witty sense of humor, and level-headed approach to every encounter evidently resonating with those who opted to play as her. Many regard her as being the far more compelling option when compared to her male counterpart, Alexios, which is, in part, owing to her being the official canonical protagonist of the game.

However, despite being perhaps the best protagonist in Assassin's Creed's history, Kassandra has only appeared in one mainline game (excluding her role in the VR spin-off title). While she's likely to make appearances in future titles (and has been referenced in other AC games since her debut), it is a shame that, thus far, she's been so criminally underutilized. Fortunately, fans of Kassandra can look forward to her appearing in a brand-new Assassin's Creed project at the end of 2026, one that, while perhaps not quite as exciting as a full-blown game, is sure to appeal to her dogmatic devotees.

It isn't terribly surprising to see popular, fan-favorite Assassin's Creed characters appear in other games. Mirage's protagonist, Basim Ibn Ishaq turns up in both the aforementioned title and Valhalla; Bayek has appeared in Origins and Assassin's Creed crossover events; and, of course, Ezio famously got an entire trilogy of games. Considering how strong a protagonist Kassandra is, she could absolutely handle her own subseries within the Assassin's Creed universe, or even serve as a deuteragonist or minor role in a future AC title.

Unfortunately, for today, Kassandra is relegated to Odyssey and Odyssey alone. While she could very well turn up in the next mainline Assassin's Creed game (although it seems remarkably unlikely), for now, fans will just have to enjoy her presence in the upcoming side projects. This, naturally, includes the latest statue from PureArts, which depicts Kassandra in all her fierce glory atop a crumbling ruin, broken spear in hand.

This latest PureArts statue isn't the first one of Kassandra, and is actually a smaller version of the far more expensive 1:4 scale model. The original Kassandra statue came with various customizable components and additional elements, all of which inflated the price dramatically. PureArts has now released a 1:8 version, which lacks all the bells and whistles, but costs a fraction of the original's price. This is how PureArts describes the statue:

"The iconic PureArts Animus Kassandra 1:4 Scale Statue, now in a 1:8 Scale Statue! Deadly Spartan mercenary and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey protagonist Kassandra is ready for battle with her Misthios battle attire and broken spear atop an Ancient Greece-inspired base depicting Alexios in battle."

The statue is available for pre-order right now, although stocks are already running low. Those interested can purchase it directly from the official PureArts website for $119 (the original statue cost $899). It will be shipped between September 2026 and December 2026, so you won't have to wait too long to get your hands on it, should you decide to pre-order it. While it isn't a new game, this statue should hopefully serve as a great gift for the ultimate Kassandra fan, or those looking to complete their collection of Assassin's Creed statues.
