After a long wait, the iconic video game franchise Assassin’s Creed is set to make its live-action debut. Following in the footsteps of popular adaptations like God of War and The Last of Us, fans are eager to see how this beloved series will translate to the screen. What’s next for this franchise?
Long-awaited News for the Assassin’s Creed Live-Action Series
The franchise in question is none other than Assassin’s Creed, a title that resonates with fans. This live-action series project was first announced five years ago, but updates have been scarce ever since. At that time, Ubisoft partnered with Netflix to adapt the game’s expansive universe into a series. However, as the years passed, it seemed the project had been shelved, leaving fans in the dark.
Recently, it was confirmed that the series is indeed in development, accompanied by encouraging information. A statement from Ubisoft has revealed that the series will be led by showrunners and creators Roberto Patino (Westworld) and David Wiener (Fear the Walking Dead). The pair, both dedicated fans of the franchise since its inception, shared exciting details regarding the artistic direction and storyline of the series.
The Templars vs. the Assassins: A Journey Through Time
“Amidst the spectacle and thrill, there lies a narrative of individuals searching for meaning, grappling with identity, destiny, and faith. It explores power, violence, greed, and vengeance. Above all, this series emphasizes the value of human connections across cultures and through time.”
What better way to frame this narrative than through the conflict between the Templars and the Assassins? According to early plot details, the storyline will depict “one faction striving to dictate humanity’s future through control, while the other battles to preserve free will.”
However, the narrative will not be confined to the Third Crusade, the backdrop of the first game released in 2007. According to Patino and Wiener, the series aims to honor the Ubisoft games by depicting multiple eras, highlighting “various characters across pivotal historical events.”
With significant artistic and financial challenges ahead, Patino and Wiener, along with Netflix, must accurately represent different periods of human history and connect them intelligently. As excitement builds around this reawakening of the series, fans await further announcements, including a shooting start date, casting news, and a release timeline.
