The Assassin’s Creed that almost was

 Darryn Bonthuys ( Lazygamer )





Believe it or not, but it’s been eight years already, since Assassin’s Creed was first pitched. And much like any experimental concept at the time, there was plenty of art to go with it. But the Assassin’s Creed of then, compared to the Assassin’s Creed of now, was a very different idea entirely, from the finished tech demo product.

Ubisoft has recently released a score of images showing the genesis of this franchise, which they stuck to fortunately, despite a disappointing debut, that blossomed into an incredible sequel, expansion games and other media.

From the pictures released, you can see that the main idea for the Assassin’s was already cemented, especially with first game protagonist Altair. The funny side however, is that the art team had no idea what they were tasked with producing, so they created images for what they believed was going to be a Prince of Persia spin-off title.
