The Assassin’s Creed games expanded its reach with a film released in 2016, but that effort’s failure resulted in a return to using the games as the primary way to tell the story. This is about to change with the debut of a TV series featuring the same plot.
Since it’s expected to carry the chronology seen so far, the TV show can right previous wrongs by bringing definitive answers to queries fans have had for a long time. These have remained unresolved to the point where the show can adequately explain the gaps in the plot and end the repeated questions that keep springing up about the series.
Is There An End To The Assassin-Templar Conflict?
The continuous battle between the factions might have provided fans with the best assassins in the series, but there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight despite over a decade worth of video games. With the TV show running for a limited time, there’s a good chance it might feature the end of this conflict,
Since the story relates to time travel, the show can use this as a framing device to communicate just when it would be that the assassins and the Templars will cease their constant back and forth with one clear victor.
How Many Human-Isu Wars Happened?
The games that had the most potential to be turned into movies were the ones that dived into the lore of the First Civilization. By now, it’s clear the humans had battled the Isu plenty of times in the past, with many not even connecting with one another.
The question remains over just how many wars took place, as it’s become increasingly hard to keep track of the games’ story. The TV show can bring exposition to this matter by featuring a mapped out history of the wars between the humans and Isu, along with the timeline of these events.
Are Mythological Figures All Isu Beings?
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla opened up more questions than it answered, namely over the status of the Nordic gods as beings of the First Civilization. It’s not for certain if these were the exception or if all the religious figures were actually Isu beings that humans have taken to consider as gods.
The TV series can explore this aspect in greater detail by showing each mythology and the extent to which the Isu had influenced them. It would be very much welcome to gain clarity over how the First Civilization existed if all these mythological figures existed at the same time.
How Many Prophetic Figures Are There?
For a long time, it was believed that only Desmond Miles was the fated one as he was the main character in the arc to stop the next calamity on Earth. However, Layla Hassan ed the series in Assassin's Creed Origins, with her story being similar to Desmond’s.
It’s not known if there have been other figures in the past as well, seeing as Layla has also been written out of the series and it’s implied someone else will take her place. The TV series will most likely stick close to this storytelling style, giving it the chance to answer just how many figures exist in this universe.
What Is The Ultimate Fate Of The Earth?
There have been so many scenarios over the world ending that fans have taken to creating memes about the series. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla featured yet another plotline along these lines, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the TV show takes this route as well.
The current count is up to three, but the recurring aspect of this scenario means fans are convinced that the calamities have threatened to end the world several times before. If this is to happen, then the story can at least answer just how many times the Earth can be in peril.
What Is The Extent Of The Templars' Influence On The World?
Partly why fans feel films deserve another shot is the chance to see more of the Templars in live-action. This will finally be fulfilled in TV form, where the answer to the matter of the Templars’ influence can also be provided.
The video games sometimes make it seem as if the Templars have already taken over the world, while other occasions imply they’re not quite set on world domination. To this end, the TV show can clarify just how powerful Abstergo is in present day.
What Happened To Adam And Eve?
Adam and Eve are in most fans’ wish lists for characters the TV series should feature. This is mainly because they were barely seen in the games despite Assassin’s Creed II setting up their role as leaders of the resistance against the Isu.
The TV series can finally showcase the full events behind this pair as to how they managed to defy the First Civilization and where they ended up. It would be more than a worthy storyline to follow of the first hybrid humans’ struggles.
How Did The Children Of Cain Develop Into The Templars?
It was shown in Assassin’s Creed II that the Templar Order’s first ever traces came from the Children of Cain faction that began around 75,000 BCE. So far, the games have only gone as far back as 431 BCE featuring the Cult of Kosmos as proto Templars.
The TV show can answer how Cain killed his brother to set up his villainous group and the circumstances before and after this happened. Fans usually wonder how many versions of the Templars have existed, and there’s no better way to start than the Children of Cain.
How Do The Calculations Of The First Civilization Work?
The earlier titles are generally considered to be the best in the series due to the balanced focus on the First Civilization, who communicated with Desmond based on calculations they made that predicted their meeting.
However, it’s not explained just how this calculation was possible, especially considering how accurate these were. The TV series should bring past events that show the method employed by the Isu to bring these calculations to life and clarify the manner with which the holograms were made to communicate with people in the future.
Can A Person Live On In The Animus?
It was shown in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations that Subject 16’s conscience still lived in the Animus. He also claimed he and Desmond could return to the latter’s body together, heavily implying that Subject 16 was more alive than thought and he simply needed a body to be “resurrected.”
One of the mistakes made by the 2016 film was not expanding on the Animus, which can be fixed by the TV show. This series can leave no doubt about the capabilities of the Animus and if a person can indeed transfer their conscience into it in such a way that they’re effectively alive forever.
