'''''Assassins Creed: Ascendance''''' is a short, animated film project created to expand the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]]. It was revealed by [[Ubiworkshop]] on 10 November 2010, and was released on 16 November 2010 for PlayStation Store, Xbox LIVE, and iTunes.<ref>[http://ubiworkshop.myshopify.com/blogs/news/2266192-assassins-creed-ascendance-announcement UbiWorkshop's ''Assassin's Creed: Ascendance'' Official Announcement]</ref>

Created as a bridge between ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', the short film details more of [[Cesare Borgia]]'s rise to power.

==Plot==
KURWA

==Media==
The art style of the entire animation was made to be a balance between what the animators were comfortable with and the traditional oil-paint style iconic to the [[Renaissance]] era.<ref name="Making of">The Making of ''Assassin's Creed: Ascendance''</ref>

Additionally, the creators wished for the film to be familiar to the fans of the series. To achieve this, they used sound effects and backgrounds taken directly from ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', such as the Papal apartments in the Castel Sant'Angelo, and the [[Tiber Island headquarters|headquarters]] on [[Tiber Island]].<ref name="Making of"/>

==Trivia==
*The film was originally named "Secret Project Number Three" by UbiWorkshop.<ref>[http://kotaku.com/5686463/ubiworkshop-reveals-assassins-creed-ascendance ''Assassin's Creed: Ascendance'' teaser]</ref>
*A variation of [[Octavian de Valois]]' death is shown in the introduction of the short film. There, Octavian and several of his men held [[Pantasilea Baglioni]] hostage in the Roman Forum, and were attacked by Ezio, who was wearing his [[Ezio Auditore's robes|usual Assassin robes]]. Ezio would then strike from above and stab Octavian with his [[Hidden Blade]].
**Octavian's final words also differed from the ones spoken in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', saying that he only played a small part in Cesare's plans, rather than him admitting his desire for respect.
*Juan Borgia's murder appears to have taken place in the [[Tiber Island headquarters]]. Whether this is considered canon or not is yet to be confirmed.
*The building where Oliverotto and Vitellozzo's dinner supposedly took place appears to be the [[Borgia Towers|Borgia Tower]] nearest to the [[Caserma di Alviano]] that kept [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]]'s forces at bay, until Ezio destroyed the building. However, this causes conflict in the timeline, as Ezio destroyed and had the Assassin Order occupy the tower in 1500, while the murders of both generals took place in 1502.
*The film shows one of the few instances where Cesare was seen using a [[crossbow]], utilizing it to subdue Oliverotto. The crossbow Cesare possessed in the film had a unique design, embedded with a small metal decal of a woman.
*The film is included with the ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]'' Blu-ray Disk.
