The Video Game Adaptation Is Still Years Away
Barring any disasters or MCUBlade-esque dilemmas, theNetflixAssassin’s Creedseries will be moving forward with full steam ahead, joining the platform’s growing list of video game adaptations. Although it’s been greenlit and audiences can expect to see the show in the future, it will still be a while before the title hits screens.
