There are always similarities in art forms. Whether it is games, novels, animations or films, they can be transformed with each other under a suitable opportunity. For a game IP like Assassin's Creed, which has been popular all over the world in the past decade, the simple game form can no longer satisfy Ubisoft's ambition to further push it to the world, so the official novel introduced in our previous article. Of course, it is not enough to have novels alone, so the film and television transformation of "Assassin's Creed" has become a natural thing. Today we will take you to see what film and television works are available on Assassin's Creed so far.

1. Assassin's Creed: Lineage

Assassin's Creed: Bloodline is a three-episode mini-short drama filmed by Ubisoft in 2009 for the promotion of Assassin's Creed 2. Ubisoft invited Hybride, the movie effect team of "Spartan 300 Warriors" to participate in the production. The film tells the story of what happened before the plot of "Assassin's Creed 2". Giovanni Auditore, the father of the male protagonist Ezio, is an ostensibly a banker, but in fact he himself is also an assassin. The plot of the TV series is just right to connect with the game.

Although it is a miniseries with a total duration of only 36 minutes, and although it is only posted on YouTube, it still maintains a very high level from a production perspective. Even if you look back at this short drama today, you still feel that it is extremely attentive whether it is the actor's choice, the setting of the scene or the production of costume props.

2. Assassin's Creed: Ascendance

"Assassin's Creed: Power" is a stylized animated short film filmed by Ubisoft in 2010 to cooperate with "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood". It lasts more than 13 minutes (the main film is actually less than 9 minutes, and it is also equipped with production highlights). The animation's background time is set between Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Ceasare Borgia used force to rule Rome and even the entire Italy, terrifying the people through bloody suppression, tyranny, etc. Ezio Auditore will bear in mind that Ceasare Borgia reaches its purpose of rule through cruel means (poisoning, assassination). From then on, a series of stories unfolded.

3. Assassin's Creed: Embers

Assassin's Creed: Embers is an animated short film with more than 21 minutes. It was launched simultaneously with the game "Apocalypse" in 2011 and was produced by Ubisoft Montreal Studios. The plot of the short film takes place after the end of "Revelation"After the year, the final story of Egio is told. Egio is old, he has left the affairs of the Assassin organization and just wants to live his retirement life with peace of mind. But the assassin Shao Yun from China destroyed his tranquility, and Egio eventually taught her and completed the last battle in her life.

IV. The Devil's Spear: Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag

The film is a live-action short film created by Ubisoft to invite the famous Youtube video production team Corridor Digital to launch the "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag". Although the film is not as well-produced as "Bloodline", the quality is also very good, the characters are restored and the plot is a bit funny.

5. Assassin's Creed movie (Assassin's Creed)

The life-acting movie of "Assassin's Creed" cannot be said to be a successful work for Ubisoft or the fans of the game. The movie is not adapted from any "Assassin's Creed" game but adopts an original plot. Although the film faithfully restores many settings and details of the game, the film still has many flaws in narrating the plot. However, as a fan of the "Assassin's Creed" series, being able to witness the "Faith Jump" on the big screen may be the greatest comfort this film gives to players.

The news about the production of the movie "Assassin's Creed 2" has actually been circulated since the first live-action movie was released. It is said that the producer believes that the film will be a big hit, so he is already preparing to produce the second part. But I don’t know if "Assassin’s Creed 2" can meet the majority of players in the face of many negative reviews after the release.

Conclusion

Whether the film and television works of "Assassin's Creed" are live-action short dramas or CG animations, they have the meaning of expanding and supplementing the game in the plot, which can help players understand the story of the "Assassin's Creed" game. Okay, that’s all for today’s review of the film and television works of "Assassin’s Creed", thank you!
