Assassin’s Creed Movie Will Feature Familiar Faces from the Games; “Not Main Characters” Though

Ubisoft is trying its best to bring the ultimate Assassin’s Creed experience to the big screen.

Assassin’s Creed movie’s weapon designer Tim Wildgoose was recently featured in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, and he discussed the process of turning the game’s weapons into real-life accessories. He continued to hint about the characters featured in the movie, saying that “they’re not main characters from the games, but they’re very famous characters that the fans will probably enjoy.”

Although we’re designing the weapons ourselves, there are certain things you have to stick to — the way the wrist blades work. In that sense, we were going the Ubisoft reference as a design guide. At the same time, there are assassins from the games in the film as well. In some case, we could directly copy the Ubisoft weapons onto their characters.

There’s basically a few assassins taken straight from the games, who we get to see in the films. We actually get to use some of the real game weapons in there. They’re not main characters from the games, but they’re very famous characters that the fans will probably enjoy.

Assassin’s Creed movie is set to release later this year in October.
