Assassin's Creed: Lineage
The movie prequel to the blockbuster video game franchise
Created by Yves Simoneau
A dark, action-driven prequel short film set in Renaissance Italy that prioritizes conspiracy and violence over character depth or emotional resonance.
When the Duke of Milan is brutally murdered, the Assassin Giovanni Auditore is dispatched to investigate. What he uncovers implicates Italy's most powerful families reaching all the way back to the Vatican itself. As Giovanni draws closer to the truth, he becomes hunted himself. He must expose the conspirators before he joins their ever-growing list of victims. Three short films based on the Assassin's Creed II video game.
