There’s a lot of freedom for storytelling, while a core group of people outside of the Animus play out an overarching storyline. For the first season, we could see the series diving into Renaissance Italy or even Ancient Egypt. Yes, there was a terrible Michael Fassbender effort but Assassin’s Creed, with its secret societies, historical settings and the weird sci-fi twist of the Animus, offers plenty of actual depth for people to plum.Ī good Assassin’s Creed adaptation should take the form of an anthology show with each season dropping the main character into a different ancestor in the timeline. For the sake of our sanity, anything that’s already been adapted as a TV show already is out but movies are okay – especially if the adaptation in question wasn’t great. With that in mind, here’s a list of what they might want to adapt next. Games are full of strong storylines, remarkable characters and bizarre worlds, so why wouldn’t you want to see some of the biggest and best on the small screen? With even HBO taking a crack at adapting video games, it’s impossible not to argue that there’s narrative gold for anyone smart enough to dig it up.

With The Last Of Us’s debut on HBO last night (January 15) following up Arcane, The Witcher and Lance Reddick’s bits in the otherwise so-so Resident Evil, TV adaptations of video games are in right now.
