Of all the brand deals you'd expect Ubisoft to go for - especially on the cusp of launching the first "next-generation" Assassin's Creed - shaving foam is pretty far down the line.

In 2014 though, before Unity hit shelves and we all collectively laughed the IP into forcing a complete gameplay overhaul after 2015's Syndicate, Ubi teamed up with "Edge" to offer some exclusive DLC.

Coming in the form of a sword, piece of green armour and matching hood, you'd have to buy multiple cans of this stuff just to get the full set. It made great business sense at the time, but following AC Unity becoming a complete laughing stock, Ubi went into damage control mode and no longterm solution for these pieces of DLC was ever worked out.

Unity never received a "Game of the Year" edition because it anything but, and as Ubisoft made the game's DLC "Dead Kings" free as an apology, they clearly couldn't wait to move on and forget the whole thing.
