    ‘Assassin’s Creed’ Targets New Mobile Game

    The live-action TV show isn’t the only project in the works.

Like Altair and his many hidden tools, Netflix has more than one Assassin’s Creed project up its sleeve. 

On top of a forthcoming live-action series, Netflix and Ubisoft are joining forces to create an original Assassin’s Creed mobile video game. Announced at the Ubisoft Forward event Saturday, the game will be exclusive to Netflix and won’t feature any ads or in-app purchases. 

For those who haven’t chosen a side in the centuries-spanning war between the Assassins and the Templars, the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise launched 15 years ago. Each installment is set in a different time period — the Italian Renaissance! The French Revolution! Ancient Egypt! — and follows members of the Assassins brotherhood as they fight to protect free will from those who threaten it. Since most of the games are open world, that could mean anything from stealthily eavesdropping on conversations to engaging in naval battles in the Caribbean — or simply assassinating enemies with the brotherhood’s trademark hidden blade.

In October 2020, Netflix announced it was developing a genre-bending live-action Assassin’s Creed television show. This new mobile game will allow members to dive even further into the AC universe. 

However, Assassin’s Creed isn’t the only new mobile game on the horizon. Netflix and Ubisoft are also partnering on similar projects for theValiant Hearts and The Mighty Quest franchises. Arriving January 2023, the new Valiant Hearts game is a sequel to Ubisoft’s Valiant Hearts: The Great War, directed by the original game’s core team and featuring a brand-new story. Meanwhile, The Mighty Quest project, which is also due some time next year, “will draw inspiration from the roguelike genre to deliver an experience that celebrates the series’ premiere hack-and-slash combat in a fresh and highly replayable format,” according to the press release. 

“We’re thrilled to work with Ubisoft, whose track record creating memorable worlds for fans is unmatched,” said Mike Verdu, vice president of games at Netflix. “This partnership will provide our members with exclusive access to some of the most exciting game franchises as we continue to build a catalog of great mobile games for our members around the world.”

“As we continue to create great experiences on all platforms, we’re glad to be partnering with such an innovative and creative partner as Netflix,” said Jean-Michel Detoc, chief mobile officer of Ubisoft. “I believe that this partnership will be a great opportunity for Netflix members to further explore our worlds and universes on mobile.”

Game on.
