Netflix today announced it\u2019s making a live-action series based on the Assassin\u2019s Creed <\/em>game series. This would be the latest in Netflix\u2018s planned video game ventures, and could potentially be one of its more interesting ones.<\/p>\n

The company announced the project with an ambiguous tweet with the logo and some music and sound effects familiar to game fans. Note that we know nothing else about the series except that it\u2019s being made, and that two of Ubisoft\u2019s Film & Television execs \u2014 Jason Altman and Danielle Kreinik \u2014 will be executive producers. It doesn\u2019t yet have a showrunner, which to me means they may not yet have settled on a script.<\/span> AC <\/em>has always been something of a multimedia series, with games, comics, and a handful of live-action products \u2014 even an audio drama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to assume the success of The Witcher <\/em>(and Castlevania<\/em> before it) are what prompted Netflix to greenlight yet another show based on a popular game series. It\u2019s already working on a Resident Evil <\/em>series<\/a>, though I have my doubts about how the story of that show is going to go. There are also rumors Ubisoft is peddling its other intellectual properties as potential live-action products, including The Division <\/em>and Splinter Cell <\/em>\u2014 the latter would be particularly painful if made into a show given how long fans have been waiting for a new installment in the game series.<\/p>\n

As an Assassin\u2019s Creed <\/em>fan, I\u2019m alright with this. The AC <\/em>series is one with a lot of potential, given that you can retrofit any historical period into the Assassin\/Templar conflict without breaking continuity. I\u2019m in the minority, but I enjoyed the live-action Assassin\u2019s Creed <\/em>movie. So the showrunners, whenever they appear, will have leeway that spans most of recorded history with regards to what they can include. Here\u2019s hoping they junk those interminable \u201cpresent day\u201d segments, or at least keep them as minimal as possible \u2014 goodness knows it\u2019s not what any of us are here for.<\/p>\n
