History WMG / AssassinsCreed2016

By the end of the movie, [[spoiler: the Assassins have taken over Abstergo's Madrid facility and killed a major Templar leader in Alan Rikkin while also stealing the Apple of Eden from under their nose.]] You can be damn sure that they won't take prisoners next time.

Namely, we will begin in an action prologue by following Callum as he escapes his captivity, and then play a stealth takedown for [[spoiler: The assassination of Alan Rikkin]]. Following this, the game proper will begin with either Callum as our new lead protagonist, or with Bishop giving an update to her crew about how [[spoiler: the death of one of the templar second in commands]] has affected the templar structure.

The movie was released worldwide on 21 December 2016. In the [[AssassinsCreedIII games]], [[spoiler: Desmond Miles sacrifices himself on the 21 December 2012 to prevent a solar flare from destroying the world]].

* Jossed. It's very much in present day. After all, Ubisoft wants to adapt the new Animus design into future Assassin's Creed games.

* Jossed. ''Origins'' focuses on a completely new character with no connection to the film although the events of Alan Rikin's death, and Oliver Garneau's capture in Watch Dogs are mentioned on the protagonist's computer.

* Aguilar appears in a game, ''Assassin's Creed Rebellion'', although it's a MobilePhoneGame spinoff and not a mainline episode. ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOrigins Origins]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey Odyssey]]'' have come out since the film's release, there's no sign of Creator/UbiSoft using either him or Callum (or even the movie's Animus) in a mainline game in the near future. The delay before ''Origins'' was simply to ensure its quality, that it wouldn't be plagued by the same {{sequelitis}} problems as ''Unity'' and ''Syndicate''.

* Aguilar indeed appears in a game, ''Assassin's Creed Rebellion'', although it's a MobilePhoneGame spinoff game of the series and not a mainline episode.

* Jossed. He never appears or gets referenced.

To me at least the lack of Eagle Vision in the game that most famously uses it was a minor disappointment. Therefore the next film should include it.

[[WMG: Ezio will either be referenced or make a cameo.]]

[[WMG: Sofia [[Creator/MarionCotillard Marion Cotillard's]] character is Desmond Miles's mother. This works better if the speculation about the movie being a prequel is true.]]

Just like the second game did to the first game, when a film sequel is released, it will answer all the criticisms of the first movie and blow the critics away. Then by the third movie they will say something along the lines of "it's a great movie on all accounts but we're tired of the franchise simply because it is the third movie". The fourth movie will do something innovative that is well received by most critics and the rest will repeat their "we just don't want to watch more Assassin's Creed films" line from the third one.
** For this to work the series would have to produce side-story missions in-between numbered sequels and also update pre-existing films (via Uplay) with new story missions and exclusive skins, er, actors.

[[WMG: If there's a sequel, Other characters from the games will show up in the modern day plotline]]
Callum and his team of escapees will be contacted by the main Brotherhood allowing characters like Bill Miles, Shaun and Rebecca or Bishop to appear in the film.

[[WMG: Sofia [[MarionCotillard Marion Cotillard's]] character is Desmond Miles's mother. This works better if the speculation about the movie being a prequel is true.]]
