Netflix has greenlit a live-action TV show adaptation of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.

Adapted by creators, showrunners, and executive producers Robert Patino (Westworld, DMZ) and David Wiener (Halo, Homecoming), the news comes almost five whole years after Ubisoft and Netflix initially agreed to make an Assassin’s Creed show as part of a larger content partnership.

There’s no hint as to which game, characters, or time period might feature in the show, only that the games’ overarching templars versus assassins plot will seemingly drive the show.

“The Assassin’s Creed live-action series is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions: one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, the other fighting to preserve free will,” Ubisoft said in an announcement.

The show will follow characters across “pivotal historical history” as they shape the destiny of mankind, according to the publisher.

Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill from Ubisoft’s Film & Television will be executive producers on the show.

“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,” said Wiener and Patino in a joint statement that sheds more light on the show’s content.

“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.”

The most recent release in the series was Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which launched earlier this year to mostly positive reviews. The franchise has shifted more than 200 million units in its lifetime.

The first attempt at bringing the franchise into live-action was 2018’s Assassin’s Creed movie starring Michael Fassbender, which drew negative reviews and made $240.7 million at the worldwide box office.
