This footage shows daredevils performing a real-life Assassin’s Creed leap of faith - and jump into hay from a 55ft castle tower.

The dangerous acrobatic manoeuvre is featured in every Assassin’s Creed game and movie.

The 'DD squad' did theirs at one of the most fairy tale-like castles in Slovenia - Snežnik Castle in Loška Dolina.

To ensure a soft landing and zero injuries a whopping four tons of hay was placed at the bottom of the 55ft drop.

Matevž Pogačar rose to the challenge and executed the perfect leap of faith.

Matevž, Dunking Devils acrobat and member of DD Squad, said: “We’d been thinking about swapping an airbag for a haystack for some time.

''Despite not being sure whether we’d be able to jump off the desired height, I must admit hay proved to be very comfortable.

“But in order to make it comfortable, we had to put in quite a bit of work to pile it high enough.

''As the haystack flattened after each landing, we had to repeat this process before every single jump.

''We progressively increased the height of our jumps - we started at four meters and continued going a bit higher every single time, until we achieved our goal - 17 meters.

“Performing the leap of faith from this height was quite scary, because the crane was constantly swaying.

''Even though the haystack was huge, the landing zone was really narrow, so the jump had to be extremely precise."

Maks Veselko, Dunking Devils acrobat and member of DD Squad, added:
“Assassin’s Creed was our main inspiration for this stunt.

''One of our role models, Damien Walters, performed the leap of faith in the 2016 Assassin’s Creed movie, and that really motivated us to try and do it ourselves.

"We picked Snežnik Castle due to its gorgeous location and the fact that it fits really well into the whole Assassin’s Creed atmosphere that we wanted to create.

''This was yet another amazing project that we pulled off with our team and I’m looking forward to many more like it.''
