Adi Shankar, who just recently wrapped up work on the Castlevania anime series for Netflix, must have shown Ubisoft something really spectacular to get them to tap him as opposed to other well-known anime studios.
Considering the depth of the franchise in terms of location and time period, anything feels up for grabs in terms of story.
Details beyond his taking charge of the Assassin’s Creed anime are unknown, although past interviews with Ubisoft head Yves Guillemot indicate the series will be on Netflix.
While his statement is not entirely insightful, the fact that Shankar mentions (via Facebook) the story will be original at least rules out that audiences will be seeing a retelling of one of the former games in the franchise.
