Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed series to be set in Ancient Rome

We've known for quite some time that Ubisoft is working with Netflix on a new live-action adaptation of Assassin's Creed. Since then, little about the cast or production plans has been revealed. According to recent leaks though, we now know which time period this new Assassin's Creed series will be set in. 

Each of the Assassin's Creed games have targeted a different period of history. We've seen Ancient Egypt, 1800s London, Civil War-era America and many more. For the new Netflix series, it looks like the writers will be targeting a time period never featured before in the games.

According to Nexus Point News (via IG), the Netflix Assassin's Creed series will be taking place in Ancient Rome, during the same time period that Emperor Nero ruled. This means we will be getting a very different look at Italy compared to Assassin's Creed 2, which was set during the Renaissance era.

It is still unclear when the Netflix Assassin's Creed series will release but filming is due to begin in Italy next year, so we should get more news over the next 12 months.
