Ubisoft and Netflix have officially greenlit a live-action series based on Assassin’s Creed, as reported by Variety. The Assassin’s Creed live-action series will be moving forward with production and will premiere at Netflix at some point in the coming years.
Roberto Patino and David Wiener are the series’ creators, showrunners, and executive producers. Patino has previously worked on DMZ on HBO Max and Westworld, while Wiener has worked on Fear the Walking Dead and the Halo adaptation on Paramount Plus. In a statement, Patino and Wiener said the following:
“We’ve been fans of Assassin’s Creed since its release in 2007. Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin’s Creed opens to us. Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story — about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith. It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance.
But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time. And it’s about what we stand to lose as a species, when those connections break. We’ve got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we’re committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet.”
Recently, Final Weapon had the chance to review the most recent entry in the franchise, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. We also interviewed one half of the duo behind the game’s soundtrack: The Flight. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store. PEGI recently rated a Nintendo Switch 2 version.
