It looks like this is going to be a day of trailers! Following the release of new looks at Spider-Man: Homecoming and War for the Planet of the Apes, Fox has released a final preview for Assassin's Creed. This one ditches the not to great pop songs to focus on the story, with the big reveal being that the Templars are still on the hunt for the Apple of Eden, something fans of the game will be familiar with.
An original story rather than a direct take on one of the games, the movie picks up with Callum Lynch in the present after he discovers he’s a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain.
After gaining incredible knowledge and skills he’s poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day. Set in the same world as the game, but just how closely tied to them it will be remains to be seen. Assassin’s Creed stars Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Ariane Labed, and is currently set to be released on December 21st, 2016. Are you guys excited?
