Assassin’s Creed To Become Comic Book

In what seems like a case of entertainment reverse engineering, arguably one of the world’s most popular gaming franchises, Assassin’s Creed, is going to become a comic book.

We are all used to comic books being made into television series or movies, but it rarely happens the other way around. Ubisoft announced an Assassin’s Creed comic book mini-series is currently in development.

In what seems like a case of entertainment reverse engineering, arguably one of the world’s most popular gaming franchises, Assassin’s Creed, is going to become a comic book.

We are all used to comic books being made into television series or movies, but it rarely happens the other way around. Ubisoft announced an Assassin’s Creed comic book mini-series is currently in development.

It is being developed by Eisner Award nominees and Shuster Award-winning illustrators Cameron Stewart (Batman & Robin, Seaguy and Catwoman) and Karl Kerschl (Superman and The Flash).

The new comic series is part of Ubisoft Montreal’s UbiWorkshop initiative that encompasses a number of the studio’s projects related to leveraging Ubisoft intellectual properties in entertainment mediums outside of video games, such as comic books.

“We always thought that the Assassin’s Creed universe would be perfect for transmedia initiatives like this new comic series,” said Mathieu Ferland, transmedia senior producer at Ubisoft Montreal. “We are excited to have the fantastic and acclaimed artists Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl working on the project.”
