By March 2017, ''Assassin's Creed'' head of content [[Aymar Azaizia]] confirmed that an ''Assassin's Creed'' television series was being developed, teasing it at {{Wiki|PAX (event)|PAX East 2017}}.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.unilad.co.uk/gaming/heres-everything-we-know-about-the-assassins-creed-tv-series/|title=Here's Everything We Know About The Assassin's Creed TV Series|author=Moore, Ewan|publisher=UNILAD|date=23 March 2017|accessdate=16 January 2020|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170603231828/https://www.unilad.co.uk/gaming/heres-everything-we-know-about-the-assassins-creed-tv-series/|archivedate=3 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Youtube|FXcp527jjks|Assasins Creed Panel at PAX 2017 deleted scenes and discussion with cast.|c/dragonblogger|Dragon Blogger Technology and Entertainment|quote={{cite|need quote}}}}</ref> On 5 July, producer Adi Shankar announced a partnership with Ubisoft on his Facebook page and revealed that he was working on "an original story" Assassin's Creed anime series.<ref name="Shankar Facebook"/> Ubisoft CEO [[Yves Guillemot]] resumed discussions with Netflix as a possible network for the series to air on. However, it is not known if they were discussing ''Assassin's Creed'' or another Ubisoft IP.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.cyberpowerpc.com/2018/01/15/ubisoft-announces-assassins-creed-tv-series-is-in-the-works/|title=Ubisoft Announces Assassin's Creed TV Series is in the Works|author=Kane, Ian|publisher=CYBERPOWERPC|date=15 January 2018|accessdate=16 January 2020|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180421033209/https://blog.cyberpowerpc.com/2018/01/15/ubisoft-announces-assassins-creed-tv-series-is-in-the-works/|archivedate=21 April 2018}}</ref>

As of June 2020, the television series is reportedly in development. Netflix was also officially confirmed as the distributor and airing network.<ref name="Cyberpunk">{{Cite web|url=https://news.yahoo.com/cyberpunk-edgerunners-anime-coming-kill-la-kill-studio-103629684.html|title='Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' anime coming from 'Kill la Kill' studio|author=AFP Relax News|publisher=Yahoo! News|date=26 June 2020|accessdate=5 July 2020|archiveurl=http://archive.vn/t64xW|archivedate=5 July 2020}}</ref> In October, news on the project resurfaced stating that it was not cancelled. Two other Netflix series were also announced, one [[Assassin's Creed anime|anime]], and the other [[Live-action Assassin's Creed television series|live-action]].<ref name="hollywood">{{Cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/assassins-creed-live-action-tv-series-in-the-works-at-netflix|title='Assassin's Creed' Live-Action TV Series in the Works at Netflix|author=Goldberg, Lesley|publisher=''{{Wiki|The Hollywood Reporter}}''|date=27 October 2020|accessdate=27 October 2020|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027161918/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/assassins-creed-live-action-tv-series-in-the-works-at-netflix|archivedate=27 October 2020}}</ref>

In an April 2021 ''{{Wiki|Eurogamer}}'' interview with [[Aymar Azaïzia]], he reconfirmed the series and stated that it was being made by the team behind the television series ''{{Wiki|Rabbids Invasion}}'' and the upcoming ''{{Wiki|Far Cry}}'' animated television series ''Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Vibe'' also being produced by Shankar. The ''Far Cry'' series was taking precedence however, leaving the ''Assassin's Creed'' series on the back-burner for the time being.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-04-19-assassins-creed-loremasters-talk-plans-for-animated-black-flag-sequel-shao-jun-books-netflix-projects|title=Ubisoft details Assassin's Creed Black Flag webtoon sequel, Shao Jun books, Netflix projects|author=Phillips, Tom| publisher=Eurogamer|date=19 April 2021|accessdate=20 April 2021|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210419164742/https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-04-19-assassins-creed-loremasters-talk-plans-for-animated-black-flag-sequel-shao-jun-books-netflix-projects|archivedate=19 April 2021}}</ref>

In March 2022, Shankar again reiterated that ''Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Vibe'' was his main Ubisoft-based focus and only when that was finished and had aired would he start work on the ''Assassin's Creed'' series. He continued that turning video games into animated series for streaming platforms had become his business model and he would reap the benefits of such a thing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://comicbook.com/anime/news/assassins-creed-anime-tv-series-adi-shankar-update/|title=Assassin's Creed Producer Gives Update on Its TV Series|author=Valentine, Evan|publisher=Comic Book|date=10 March 2022|accessdate=14 August 2022|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220313103310/https://comicbook.com/anime/news/assassins-creed-anime-tv-series-adi-shankar-update/|archivedate=13 March 2022}}</ref>
