A few years ago, Netflix signed a partnership with other sectors giants to grow its catalog, but also for the production of special films and series. In 2020, the American giant signed a productive agreement with Ubisoft, where it brought the franchises to the big video games.
The two sides then announce the development of two projects around the Assassin’s Creed, one of the most famous brands of the French company, whose games were sold at more than 160 million copies: animated series and a live action series.
Where are we five years later? According to the site What is on NetflixThe Series of the Assassin’s Creed will not be canceled, but StandTime probably finds a new team after leaving her show business Jeb Stewart in 2023.
The reason may come well from Ubisoft, after the partnership announcement, from two executive producers Jason Altman and Daniel Creanik. And a few Financial difficulties From the French box, of course, did not help this project, which promised to be expensive.
But Assassin’s Creed is not a separate case, far from it.
Netflix frustrates fans
It is not easy to adapt to a successful video game on television. If HBO has succeeded in this bet with us last, it’s a long and routine affair, especially when you have to bring the world as rich as Assassin’s Creed. Netflix is not the only one who has broken the tooth on this exercise, as evidenced by a prime video that is slowly moving forward in his series of war.
But in the case of Netflix, some adaptations of video games are suspended. We think, especially on the movie The Division, which is still on the side of the Ubisoft, which would eventually be buried, and Jake Glylenhal and Jessica Chachtin are attached.
Just like the skull & bones and beyond the good and the evil that includes a departure deal. Only Splinter Cell Animated TV series – was expected by 2025 – was able to go to the end of its development but be frustrated. At the same time, Netflix has voluntarily adapted to adapt to the film from the SIFI games produced by the competition (French Studio Sloclap).
In this respect, Netflix should still prove itself, even if the American giant now seems to be part of its budget and efforts to adapt the manga, as well as a very successful (and very expensive) piece.
