Netflix's upcoming Assassin's Creed series is already making headlines. It's been a year since Netflix announced a live-action series based on the Assassin's Creed franchise. To boost the hype, footage recently appeared online suggesting that the series is set in Ancient Rome.
The video footage was initially shared on TikTok by a user. Later, it was shared on X by @616riddler. The short footage showed a crew member walking around the set, which is a destroyed room with large Roman pillars. However, what attracted the most attention was a stone throne with the Assassin’s Creed logo emblazoned on it. The footage seemed to be behind-the-scenes of a scene.
Neither Ubisoft nor Netflix has confirmed that the location is part of the final story. The companies have also stayed silent about the leaked footage. The series is still in production and is expected to arrive in 2027, although an exact release date has not been shared.
The Netflix show is part of Ubisoft's bigger plans for the Assassin's Creed series. The company recently released Assassin's Creed Shadows, which took players to feudal Japan. Ubisoft has also launched Animus Hub, a platform that brings different Assassin's Creed games together in one place.
The company is also working on live-service content to keep players coming back with fresh updates after launch. At the same time, Ubisoft is growing the franchise through TV shows and other projects. The Netflix series is expected to play a big role in that plan.
Even though the leaked video is short, it has sparked plenty of discussion among fans. An Ancient Rome setting has been one of the most requested ideas for years, and the new footage has only added to that excitement. Nothing has been confirmed yet, so fans will have to wait for an official trailer or more updates from Netflix.
