But the deal between Netflix and Ubisoft wouldn't just refer to creating an Assassin's Creed series, the deal would also involve creating other projects involving that universe. In addition to the series, Netflix may also produce an animated series, and an anime.
Peter Friedlander, who is the platform's president of original series, commits to "create epic and exciting entertainment and provide a bigger dive for fans“.
Assassin's Creed is one of the most successful franchises in gaming, but this is not the first time its universe has been explored outside of gaming. The Franchise won a live-action film in 2017 produced by Fox, starring Michael Fassbender.
Game Based Works
Netflix has been investing more and more in works based on Games, especially after the resounding success of The Witcher, which has become one of the biggest hits on the platform. As well as the series based on Assassin's Creed, Netflix is also producing a series based on Resident Evil.
But according to GameSpot, Netflix wouldn't have just acquired the rights to Assassin's Creed. But also from other Ubisoft properties, such as Beyond Good & Evil and Skull & Bones.
Anyway, what do you think this partnership between the two companies can result in? It is undeniable how rich the Assassin's Creed universe is, but will Netflix be able to reproduce the feat with The Witcher again? Or will you just get one more adaptation to become a meme? Comment!
