Assassin’s Creed Live Action
Series Coming to Netflix
Netflix and game developer Ubisoft have just made an exciting announcement:
that a live-action series adaption of the iconic game, Assassin’s Creed,
is in development. It will be an epic, genre-bending live action adaptation. A
search is currently on for a showrunner, while Ubisoft Film & Television’s
Jason Altman and Danielle Kreinik will serve as Executive Producers (tweet, for
reference).
A dedicated Netflix button
on the PS5 media remote: The much-awaited PlayStation5
comes out next month. And it has gamers really excited. What’s more, PS5 owners
will be able to easily access Netflix through a dedicated button on the Playstation 5 media remote. Also, the PS5’s control center will have a dedicated
space for your TV and media apps. And Netflix can be found here, making it
easier to access the app. Even without the media remote, navigating Netflix
through your DualSense controller is simple. The arrow keys function as your
directional buttons, and clicking the X button confirms a selection, while
pressing the O button cancels or sends you back. To start watching, simply log
in with your account details on the app and start streaming.
