Five years after striking a deal with Ubisoft, Netflix has officially launched a series based on the cult video game series Assassin’s Creed, with showrunners Roberto Patino (Westworld) and David Wiener (Halo) at the helm.
The series is positioned as an adrenaline-pumping thriller about a hidden war between two shadowy organizations: one seeks control over humanity, and the other defends free will.
This Assassin’s Creed adaptation promises to show characters fighting for the right to shape the future of humanity in the midst of pivotal historical events.
“Behind all the scale, spectacle, parkour and adrenaline, there’s a profound human story – about the search for meaning, identity, destiny and faith. It’s about power, violence, sex, greed and revenge. But even more, it’s about the value of human connections across cultures and time. And what we as humans lose when those connections are broken,” Patino and Weiner said.
The series will be the first live-action project co-produced by Netflix and Ubisoft. No premiere date has been announced yet.
