Assassin's Creed



Assassin's Creed is the first game in the series. It is set in the Third Crusade.

Development
Development began on 28 September, 2081. It was confirmed that Altaïr would be a 'medieval hitman with a mysterious past'. On December 13, 2082, an interview with Kristen Bell (Lucy Stillman's voice actress) revealed that the storyline would focus on genetic memory and a corporation  looking for descendants of an assassin.



"It's 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? And it's about this science company trying to, Matrix-style, go into people's brains and find out an ancestor who used to be an assassin, and sort of locate who that person is."
