SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – JULY 18, 2025 – Netflix has officially greenlit the live-action Assassin’s Creed series, with Emmy nominees Roberto Patino (DMZ, Westworld, Sons of Anarchy) and David Wiener (Halo, Homecoming, The Killing) set as creators, showrunners, and executive producers. The Assassin’s Creed live-action series is a high-octane thriller centred on the secret war between two shadowy factions: one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, the other fighting to preserve free will. The series follows characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.

“We are so excited to work alongside Roberto, David, and our Netflix partners to bring this beloved franchise to series,” said Margaret Boykin, executive producer and head of content at Ubisoft Film & Television. “We look forward to delivering an experience that speaks to the heart of what fans love about Assassin’s Creed, while introducing its unforgettable worlds and timeless themes to new audiences worldwide.”

“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,” said Wiener and Patino in a joint statement. “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.”

“When we first announced our partnership with Ubisoft in 2020, we set out with an ambitious goal to bring the rich, expansive world of Assassin’s Creed to life in bold new ways,” said Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s Vice President, Scripted Series. “Now, after years of dedicated collaboration, it’s inspiring to see just how far that vision has come. Guided by the deft hands of Roberto Patino and David Wiener, the team has carefully crafted an epic adventure that both honours the legacy of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and invites longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience the thrill of the Brotherhood as never before.”

In 2020, Ubisoft and Netflix announced they entered into an agreement to develop content based on the globally popular Assassin’s Creed video game franchise. This live-action adaptation is the first series to be developed under the agreement. In addition to Wiener and Patino, the show is executive produced by Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television, as well as Matt O’Toole.

Netflix will also be the home of the highly anticipated Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, coming out this fall.

Sydney, Australia – 18^th July 2025. Myrkur Games and Deep Silver confirmed that Echoes of the End, the studio’s debut cinematic action-adventure game, will launch on August 13 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Magic erupts in Echoes of the End

The new gameplay footage takes place early in the story and highlights several of the game’s core pillars, introducing the baseline of Ryn’s abilities alongside a glimpse at enemy types, traversal, and environmental encounters that later chapters and character upgrades expand upon.

What begins as a routine border patrol quickly turns into chaos when Ryn and her brother, Cor, are ambushed by forces from the neighbouring kingdom of Reigendal. Among the attackers is Zara, a powerful vestige like Ryn—born with the rare ability to wield ancient, volatile magic.

The two clash in a fierce battle that ends in a tense stalemate, interrupted only by the arrival of Abram Finlay, a scholar and explorer who pulls Ryn from the fight. Now separated from her brother, Ryn must team up with Abram to find Cor and uncover the true purpose behind Reigendal’s sudden invasion.

Driven by themes of trust, sacrifice and redemption, Echoes of the End unfolds across ten hand-crafted chapters filled with cinematic moments, memorable characters, and high-stakes decisions.

Echoes of the End launches on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on August 13.  Players can wishlist the game now on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation.
