Assassin's Creed

On the data. Three short films, one feature and a series in production, and none of them connect. The shorts are the interesting part, because they are genuinely canon. Lineage is live action and was made to lead into Assassin's Creed II, with the actors motion captured so their faces appear in the game. Ascendance and Embers are animated and bracket the Ezio games. In story they run Lineage, Ascendance, Embers. The 2016 film shares the premise and nothing else: a new man in a new machine reliving a new ancestor. It cost a hundred and twenty five million dollars, took two hundred and forty, and the trade press estimated the producers lost most of it. Sequels were planned and cancelled, so the film ends on a hook that will never be paid off. The Netflix series began filming in Rome in March 2026 and will be a third separate thing again. No episode count and no date exist, so it is carried here as unreleased with neither. The shorts are hard to watch legally. Only Lineage was ever freely public. The other two came bundled with special editions of the games or were sold digitally. Ownership is split three ways: Ubisoft owns the property, Disney ended up with the 2016 film through its purchase of Fox, and Netflix holds the series.
