History WMG / AssassinsCreed2016

** Though the Spanish Assassins are using double hidden blades which were not used until Ezio used them. Discovery takes place the previous year, during which Ezio likely introduced them. Though finger sacrifice seems to be still practiced, likely symbolic.

* Jossed. While it didn't perform as well as expected in its opening week, it hit its stride after New Year's. As of 1/16/2017, it has made 60 million more than its production budget.

[[WMG: As good as the movie may be, the movie will bomb opening up next to Film/RogueOne]]
It was a bad day for the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies when their latest movie opened up next to Film/TheForceAwakens. Ubisoft have already said that they don't expect to make much money from the film.

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.]]

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]].

Because he so is.
** What if he has an Artifact of Eden? That would explain his extreme Messiah complex and millions of worldwide fans.

* Ubisoft have already said that they don't expect to make much money from the film.

* While this does sound possible, the chances of this being a prequel are all but zero because Ubisoft wants to adapt the new Animus design into future Assassin's Creed games.
* Jossed. It's very much in present day.

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

* While this does sound possible, the chances of this being a prequel are all but zero because Ubisoft actually wants to adapt the new Animus design into future Assassin's Creed games.

* Jossed. She is Sophia Rikkin, Alan Rikkin's daughter.

First of all, the visual design of Abstergo (not to mention Callum's clothing) is a huge CallBack to the first game. Second, every Animus change we've seen so far has made it less practical, not more, albeit [[AwesomeYetImpractical cooler to watch]]: it's possible the crane-like Animus interface was an early prototype used by Vidic's team before the video game interface was invented. Secondly, WordOfGod has confirmed that Aguilar's storyline uses [[BilingualBonus subtitled Spanish]], again suggesting this was an early version of the Animus before it was able to translate to the user's native tongue.

[[WMG: This movie is the reason they delayed a new game release after AssassinsCreedSyndicate]]

* Ubisoft have already said that they don't expect to make much money from the film.

** According to this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Tg_l72Aw0 behind the scenes clip]], Callum will suffer the bleeding effect in this movie.

Because he so is.

In the DS game ''Assassins Creed II: Discovery'', Ezio went after Tomas de Torquemada, who survived the encounter. As Tomas is inevitably going to play a role in this film, it would make sense that he'd reference said encounter when other Assassins meddle in his affairs.

Namely, that they have plans to turn the new "real world" character into a new main character for the series, and so wanted to use the movie as their version of a whole game introduction. Either that or they're doing a tie in game for this movie they're surprise releasing instead.

[[WMG: There will be some form of desynchronization scene.]]

Perhaps Abstergo keeps him in there so long he ends up being unable to separate the past from the present, leading to him killing an innocent person by mistake.
