Assassins Creed: Lineage

Tired of waiting Assassins Creed II? Here is a first episode of miniseries Assassins Creed: Lineage by Hybride Studios (movies 300, Sin City, SpyKids) for Ubisoft.

When the Duke of Milan is brutally murdered, the Assassin Giovanni Auditore is dispatched to investigate. The answers he uncovers implicate Italy’s most powerful families reaching all the way back to the Vatican itself. As Giovanni draws closer to the truth, he becomes hunted himself. He must expose the conspirators before he joins their ever growing list of victims.

Lineage is the prequel to the Assassin’s Creed II story, revealing the machinations of 15th century Italy through the actions of Ezio‘s father, Giovanni.

The movies are being developed by Hybride Technologies, the visual effects studio behind 300 and Sin City, which Ubisoft purchased last year for just this sort of project. The results look rather spectacular so far.
