🤝 主创团队Roberto Patino和David Wiener在联合声明中表达了他们对《刺客信条》系列的喜爱和创作热情，强调剧集的核心将是关于人们寻找人生意义、面对身份认同、宿命、信仰的斗争，以及权力、暴力、情欲、贪婪和复仇等元素。

Netflix's Assassin’s Creed live-action series adaptation is officially coming, announced by Ubisoft on Thursday.

According to Ubisoft's blog post, Netflix has greenlit the TV adaptation of the historical action-adventure game series with Roberto Patino (DMZ, Westworld) and David Wiener (Halo, Homecoming) acting creators, showrunners, and executive producers.

Ubisoft and Netflix first announced the project's development in 2020.

"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," said Patino and Wiener in a joint press statement.

"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."

The series will likely centre on the franchise's core opposition between two covert factions: the Assassins and the Templars, who wage war across time and historical periods, with the protagonist able to access and relive these ancestral memories through a machine called the Animus. However, there are no details on which time period the TV series will be set in or whether the narrative will begin with the game's original 12th century protagonist Altaïr. Justin Kurzel's awful 2016 Michael Fassbender-led film hinged around a new character, Aguilar, an assassin in 15th-century Spain. My two cents: let Kassandra, Evie Frye, or Fujibayashi Naoe lead this time.

All we do know? Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
