Five years later, Netflix live-action Assassin’s Creed still in “active” development


Back in 2020, streaming giant Netflix announced a partnership with Ubisoft to create streaming “content” based on Assassin’s Creed, including at least one live-action TV series.

Five years and several Assassin’s Creed games later, however, and we’re yet to see Netflix’s TV project materialise.

Has the project been quietly canned? Not so, according to Game File, which reported that the series is still in “active” development as part of an article featuring a chat with Netflix’s gaming boss Alain Tascan.

Few details have ever been announced on the Netflix Assassin’s Creed series, though Die Hard writer Jeb Stuart was briefly attached for a period.

A mysterious Assassin’s Creed mobile game announced by Netflix and Ubisoft in 2022 – of which we knew nothing at all – is no longer in development, Tascan appeared to suggest.

This isn’t the first Assassin’s Creed Netflix project to fall by the wayside. An Assassin’s Creed anime was announced by Netflix in 2017 from Adi Shankar, creator of the popular Castlevania animated series. However, the project ultimately failed to materialise.

Last month, speaking at GDC, Tascan said he believed consoles were not the future as the streamer looks to phone-controlled party games. “Are eight year-olds and ten year-olds dreaming of owning a PlayStation 6?” he wondered.
