Netflix's upcoming video game series might subtly veer towards a science fiction genre
In an exciting development for fans of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Netflix has announced plans for a live-action series based on the popular video game. The series, which will delve into the world of the Assassins and Templars, promises to offer a unique blend of historical fiction and science fiction.
While the exact timeline for the series' release remains unknown, it is confirmed that the show will adapt what is considered the most beloved sequence in the Assassin's Creed series: Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations. The series will focus on the Italian assassin, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a charismatic leading man in the games, providing ample material for adaptation.
The series will incorporate the iconic Animus technology from the games, which allows characters in the present day to relive their ancestors' memories. This device will serve as the sci-fi framing device for the characters' experiences. However, it is not yet clear if the series will fully embrace the sci-fi elements of the franchise or if Netflix will aim to play things safer in the adaptation.
The series has the potential to offer some brilliant locations and costumes, given its evocative period of history with interesting real-life figures. It could potentially feature a centuries-long battle across multiple time periods and locations. However, the challenge lies in keeping the future sections interesting without becoming boring distractions from the historical segments.
Showrunners Roberto Patino and David Wiener aim to balance action and parkour with human drama and philosophical depth, honoring the franchise's core while making it accessible to both longtime fans and newcomers. The series may face the challenge of creating a fusion between historical fiction and sci-fi, but with the right approach, it could prove to be a captivating watch.
As for the cast, it is not known who will star in the show. With the series' big-budget confirmation, expectations are high for a stellar lineup. Fans eagerly await further updates on this highly anticipated Netflix production.
