Meanwhile, Patino and Wiener issued the following joint statement:
We’ve been fans of Assassin’s Creed since its release in 2007. Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin’s Creed opens to us. Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story – about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith. It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance.
But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time. And it’s about what we stand to lose as a species, when those connections break. We’ve got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we’re committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet.
Assassin’s Creed first arrived back in 2007 for PS3, PC, and Xbox 360, and spawned a hugely successful franchise that took the series to periods including the Italian Renaissance, the American War of Independence, Golden Age of Piracy, and Victorian Britain
The latest entry in the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise launched on March 20, 2025 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, and quickly attracted three million players globally with over 40 million hours played. You can read our full verdict on Assassin’s Creed Shadows here.
