Assassin’s Creed Revelations being developed, movie planned

There are 6 studios, scattered across the globe, working on Assassin's Creed Revelations. These combine to make the largest development team ever used by Ubisoft. The 200 person team at Ubisoft Montreal will continue to be the lead team. The reason for the enormous amount of manpower needed is that, “This is a huge game,” explains creative director Alexandre Amancio ,”the amount of time and data that goes into all of these systems to build the game is tremendous. So it’s a cooperative venture. We have different studios cooperating on different elements of the game.” 

So far, they only released one screenshot, seen below:



The Paris-based Ubisoft Motion Pictures announced that they are currently creating an Assassin's Creed movie, based on the basic plot line overarching the three games. Not much else has been released, but the studio said they would have a script ready by the end of the year. They are also trying to keep the story mechanics as close to that of the game. One of their spokespeople said, "We want to keep ownership, retain control over the film content, and we're open to work with studios on the development of our projects, and eventually collaborate on the pre-casting, pre-budget and script."

Ubisoft Motion Pictures are also working on films for Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell. There are a few more details about the soon to be released films HERE.
