The "Assassin's Creed" series is described as a "high-octane thriller" that explores a secret war between two factions: one aiming to control humanity's future through manipulation, while the other seeks to preserve free will. The narrative will follow characters across pivotal historical events as they engage in battles that shape humanity's destiny. The adaptation aims to honor the legacy of the franchise while also inviting new audiences to experience its rich storytelling.

The project was first announced in 2020 as part of a partnership between Netflix and Ubisoft, following a lengthy development period that raised concerns about its viability. Production officially commenced in July 2025, marking a significant step forward for a franchise that has seen previous adaptations, including a 2016 film that did not meet critical or commercial expectations. The series is expected to delve into new storylines and characters not directly drawn from the video games.
