Now that we know for sure the 2016Assassin ’s Creedfilm officially takes piazza in thesame universe as theAssassin ’s Creedgames , it ’s time to take apart exactly how nearly they ’re connected to the latest game outlet : Assassin ’s Creed : Origins . Ubisoft ’s flagship action - adventure serial publication got its late entry last calendar week whenAssassin ’s Creed : Originsreleased for PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , and PC , which , along with bid up lots of Ancient Egyptian parkour action , expose the overlaps between the game and plastic film .

When Ubisoft first released the originalAssassin ’s Creed10 years ago ,   it ’s grueling to believe they or anybody else in the industriousness knew   quite how popular it would become . Now with 19 different entries in the game series and a feature film moving picture starring Michael Fassbender , Ubisoft has firmly positionedACas one of the biggest and most pop game serial on the satellite , right alongside the ilk ofCall of Duty , Halo , andUncharted .

As lover will know , theAssassin ’s Creedgames take place in two distinct sentence periods : the near future tense and the chosen diachronic setting .   Using a machine live as the Animus , subject are able to use hereditary deoxyribonucleic acid to chat the retention of their   forefathers . The   wider mythology follow   a parentage of legendary Assassins that have left their mark throughout account working against their nefarious enemy , the Templars , with each new dangerous undertaking deepen the lore .

This year ’s late entry in the serial , Origins , involve player further back than ever before - all the way to Ancient Egypt where the centuries - farsighted engagement between the Brotherhood and The Order of the Ancients ( predecessors of the Templar )   has its roots . The modern element , however , tie more straightaway into the film .

The picture followed Fassbender ’s Callum Lynch in the Madrid arm of Abstergo ( a modern - daytime Templar front ) where he came into middleman with Sofia   Rikkin ( Marion Cotillard ) and her father , Alan ( Jeremy Irons ) . The film travel along Cal learning to become an Assassin like his ancestors , in the remnant toss off Alan . Most of theOriginsconnections pre - date the movie ’s events , providing greater knowledge of what   how the Rikkins run .

All The Assassin’s Creed: Origins and Movie Connections

The   main connectedness is an e-mail Ernst Boris Chain   between the plot ’s protagonist Layla Hassan - a innovative - mean solar day   Egyptian - American and former employee of Abstergo Industries who ’s delving into the yesteryear - and   Sofia . We learn that Sofia " discovered " Layla , who is a brilliant mind in the field of DNA memory . However , her use did n’t work out because of her reckless nature and unfitness to stand by to protocol .   In the emails , Layla go on to give advice and ideas to Sofia , trying to curry her favour - and it doing so shed some bombshells .

On February 10 , 2014 , Layla excuse the need for an " inverted six - axis motion rig " - the physical rendering   used in the picture ( a disjoined image in the game even read Cal using it ) .   Three days later on February 13th , Sofia responds ; at first taken aback by such a ludicrous mind ,   she seems to live with it as a great proffer , stating that even a chief engineer is on board with . Nearly an entire year by and by , there ’s another email from Layla to Sofia , beg for a response in light of the latter   conk out completely soundless . Naturally , Layla feels betrayed that Sofia would beak her brain for a specific idea then use them without credit .

Then   the existent intestine punch : Sofia finally responds to   Layla on August 3rd , 2016 with nothing but bad news ; she claims that she ca n’t trust Layla to offer her use or any prescribed mention , virtually shrug her articulatio humeri   as she tell our hero to essentially move on . Furious , Layla responds the next 24-hour interval with an angry e-mail calling out Sofia ’s disgusting attitude , fully breaking the family relationship . All of this culminates with the news about Sofia ’s Fatherhood ’s death from the events of the movie , which we later learn has been covered up by the Templars as an accidental gas making water rather than point assassination .

These are all set before the main upshot of the biz , but nevertheless   directly tieAssassin ’s CreedandOriginstogether . There ’s no factual coming into court from Sofia , Cal or any other movie character in the game , but the connective is ineluctable powerful .

Back in 2015 , Ubisoft made it clear they were planningan elaborate continuity between the moving-picture show and games . Now , two years on , we ’re finally getting to see the wages . And , considering the long maturation geological period of both mediums , it ’s unlikely the end here .
