First Assassin's Creed Set Image Released

The head of content for Assassin's Creed at Ubisoft, Azaïzia Aymar, has been on the set of the film adaptation starring Michael Fassbender. While he wasn't able to show off too much from the set, he did tweet an image of the inside of Abstergo Industries, the company controlled by the nefarious Templars in the world of the franchise.

"Walking for the very first time inside of Abstergo was an amazing experience!" he said excitedly in a twitter post.

He also took to the official franchise twitter account for a Q&A over the convention weekend, giving a few new hints to the film's version of the world. The movie features a new story. It's how they hope to expand the universe rather than just adapting it.

"[We make the film appeal to existing fans] by creating a new story but staying in our universe. A new experience consistent w/ our brand & DNA!" Aymar said. He revealed that Fassbender will play two characters, "Callum in the modern day, and Aguilar will be his ancestor in the past." While he was coy, he did say that "It's possible you may find some familiar faces," and stressed that the movie is part of a shared universe alongside the games, comics and books - in a "Star Wars Story Group" style. "The movie is also helping to expand our lore."

Assassin's Creed hits theaters December 21, 2016.
