Assassin’s Creed is Actually a Futuristic Sci-Fi Adventure

Actress lets huge plot secret slip

Posted by Staff
Actress Kristen Bell (pictured) has let slip what seems to be a huge plot twist secret in Ubisoft’s forthcoming Assassin’s Creed – a game ostensibly set in 1191 AD during the Third - not turning the other cheek at all - Crusade.

Bell, who was involved in recording dialogue and providing face scans and body scans for the game, told IGN TV:

“(Assassin’s Creed) is actually really interesting to me. It's sort of based on the research that's sort of happening now, about the fact that your genes might be able to hold memory. And you could argue semantics and say it's instinct, but how does a baby bird know to eat a worm, as opposed to a cockroach, if its parents don't show it?"

The mouthy actress continues, "And it's about this science company trying to, Matrix-style, go into peoples brains and find out an ancestor who used to be an assassin, and sort of locate who that person is. It's very, very cool, and I've seen all the graphics for it. We just recorded all the dialogue and did all the face scans and body scans, and I'm really excited about it.”

So, Assassin's Creed is not all that it originally seemed then and is actually a futuristic Sci-Fi yarn?

SPOnG has contacted Ubisoft for more information this morning and we will update you anon.

Didn't you guys notice this anyway while playing it at E3? I'm sure you guy's where saying something about a futuristic lab... and then there was that futuristic menu when they where demoing it at X06.

Anyway, I'm quite excited buy this game. I loved POP: TSOT

OOOOOOOOooooooo..... Shes gonna be in troubllllleeeeee.

And yes we did see the little scifi looking scene at the end of the demo we got at E3 (wouldnt let us play it the bastards!). Pretty sure It was mentioned in the impressions. This is still very interestign though as I, and most people i think, assumed it to be some sort of time travel thing. The idea of reliving the lives of ancestors is very interesting, if a bit silly. Really cant wait for this one to come out.

Even though what happened with E3 & X06 there was still this "is it, isn’t it" vibe about it

Until goldilocks goes and blows it all out the water

And they say blondes are dumb....

Our Tyrion spotted that every single trailer for the game kicks off with distorted video - kinda like the old days of analogue tuners being slightly off-station. Looks like you were right about its being some sort of simulation, old boy.
