New Assassin's Creed Comic Book Coming From Titan Comics

Titan Comics has acquired the license to publish Assassin's Creed comics.

Assassin's Creed is Ubisoft's popular video game franchise that chronicles the generations spanning war between the Assassins and the Knights Templar.

"We're so excited to be working with Ubisoft on this fantastic new adventure, said Lizzie Kaye, editor, Titan Comics in a press release. "Assassin's Creed is one of the most notoriously beautiful games on the market, and the team at Ubisoft have created a world that is perfect for us to explore, expand and inhabit with a raft of new characters in new settings. We're really hoping to surprise readers with the direction for this new series."

The first 5-part arc will be illustrated by Neil Edwards (Doctor Who: Four Doctors).

The Assassin's Creed series has ventured into the realm of comics before. Les Deux Roysumes has published six French language graphic novels based on the series since 2009. In 2011, Wildstorm published the 3-issue miniseries Assassin's Creed: The Fall. Ubisoft's own publishing branch, UbiWorkshop, published a sequel graphic novel, Assassin's Creed: The Chain, in 2012 and the follow-up, Assassin's Creed: Brahman, in 2014.

Assassin's Creed is also looking to hit the big screen, with Michael Fassbender in the starring role, in 2016.
