The long -awaited adaptation of Assassin's Creed finally left the paper. After years of silence and uncertainties, Netflix has confirmed that the live-action series is officially developing with weight names behind the cameras. The production is the result of a partnership between the streaming giant and Ubisoft, responsible for the game franchise that has sold over 230 million copies around the world.

The new creative team announced the confirmation of the series and promised to deliver a project faithful to the universe of games, with the potential to reach new audiences. The expectation is now high among fans and curious.
Who is behind the Assassin's Creed series
Netflix has climbed two names with experience in major productions to lead the project: Roberto Patino, known for his work on Westworld and DMZ, and David Wiener, from Halo and Homecoming. Both assume the role of creators, showrunners and executive producers of the series.
According to those responsible, the adaptation goes beyond the action and the parkour that marked the games. The proposal is to deliver a dense and human plot, addressing topics such as identity, purpose, faith and freedom. The idea is to respect the franchise's legacy, but also explore new narrative ways.
Plot promises fidelity to the universe of games
The series will be set in the same universe of games, focusing on the eternal secret war between killers and Templars. The plot aims to explore different historical periods, combining fiction, conspiracy and real events, as it happens in the main games of the franchise.
Without details about which characters or times will be portrayed, the production promises to honor the essence of Assassin's Creed while inviting the audience to dive into a new audiovisual experience. The series aims to be accessible to those who have never played, but thought -provoking enough to please longtime fans.
Peter Friedlander, vice president of Netflix's Series Division, stressed how much the project has matured since the initial announcement in 2020. According to him, the collaboration between Netflix and Ubisoft has resulted in a bold and epic vision that now begins to take shape.
What is still missing about the series
Despite the excitement of those involved and the official announcement, much information is still confidential. The series follows no confirmed cast, no debut date and no forecast for the start of filming. Still, the movement has already rekindled the interest of the gamer community.
Ubisoft, in turn, stressed that the focus is to offer an audiovisual experience that captures the spirit of the franchise. For fans, it remains to wait for new ads and hope that this adaptation finally lives the potential of Assassin's Creed outside the games.
