Adi Shankar’s Next Kill: “Assassin’s Creed”

Read Adi’s official statement and our thoughts.

Adi Shankar, the producer of the upcoming Castlevania series that drops its first of at LEAST two seasons this Friday, will be taking the reigns of an upcoming “anime series adaptation” of the billion dollar game franchise Assassin’s Creed. 

Adi notes in his statement that the premise for Assassin’s Creed will be an original story, however when he denotes the adaptation as an “anime” one is left to wonder if he is, in fact, producing the show in Japan or if he’s really doing a more Americanime type deal where the series is actually produced in North America at Frederator Studios (the same studio that produced Castlevania) stylized to look like it came from Japan.

We’ll post updates as we get them. Below is Adi’s statement thus far via his Facebook page.

I’m happy to let you guys know that I’ve selected my next project! I played the first edition of Assassin’s Creed the year I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my dream. At that moment I knew absolutely no one in the industry and could never have imagined that one day Ubisoft would ask me to take the world of Assassin’s Creed and create an original story set in it as an anime series. If anyone tells you not to follow your passion in life they are wrong.
