| '''Abstergo Entertainment''' is a subsidiary of [[Abstergo Industries]], tasked with producing multimedia consumer goods.
| |
|
| |
|
| Its primary product is a gaming console version of the [[Animus]], known as Animus Omega, which is sold on a worldwide scale. Through its initial basis, it enabled the company to influence the general public through pre-packaged [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] and wide, social gaming constructs.

|
| ==History==
| | |
| Founded in 2010, the company's main mediums included video games, movies and other media sourced from genetic memories. Their games were released in partnership with [[Ubisoft (company)|Ubisoft]]. The division's first major release was a 2012 game entitled ''[[Liberation]]'', entailing the story of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref><ref name="AC3L">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>
| | |
| | |
| Since 2013, Abstergo Entertainment offices in [[Montreal]] have been focusing on the [[Sample 17 Project]], involving the genetic memories harvested from [[Desmond Miles]]' DNA, in hopes of finding new, interesting settings for future products. The two current projects derived from these memories are a video game titled ''[[Pirates of Nightmares]]'', and a feature film titled ''[[Devils of the Caribbean]]'', both focusing on Desmond's ancestor, [[Edward Kenway]].<ref name="AC4"/> In a similar spirit, they are also reviewing the genetic memories retrieved from other Assassins throughout history, a venture referred to as the Identities Project.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Due to the company's [[Templars|Templar]] affiliation, any products that involved the Templars or Assassins, their [[Assassin–Templar War|ongoing war]], or any traces of the mysterious [[Isu|First Civilization]] were heavily censored or even modified, either omitting evidence of the hidden Orders or presenting the Templars as a benevolent group committed to stopping the malicious Assassins. However, despite these aims, the scheme faced some opposition from a group of hackers known only as the [[Erudito|Erudito Collective]], who intended to reveal the falsified histories which Abstergo had created for their products.<ref name="AC3L"/><ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| In the future, the company hopes to open 'sample collection' locations, where individuals can donate samples of their genetic code to the Abstergo system, allowing the company access to exciting new scenarios locked away within DNA. These genetic memories would then be explored by [[Abstergo Entertainment research analyst|research analysts]], and, if deemed good investments, would go into production.<ref name="AC4"/>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Abstergo Entertainment Montreal building is located on the site of the real life {{Wiki|Olympic Stadium (Montreal)|Olympic stadium}}.
| |
| *Despite being a subsidiary of the Templar-run Abstergo Industries, there were no major Templars working at Abstergo Entertainment as of 2013, although some of the [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order|Inner Sanctum]], such as [[Alan Rikkin]] and [[Laetitia England]], were in contact with [[Olivier Garneau]], the subsidiary's CCO.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DarbyMcDevitt/status/399278782592212992 Twitter: DarbyMcDevitt]</ref> This changed with the induction of [[Melanie Lemay]], who succeeded Garneau as CCO after his disappearance in [[Chicago]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>
| |
| *The introduction to this article, as of 11 November 2014, can be found on the bathroom screens in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''.
| |
| *In ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'', one of the busts near the CCO's office was changed to depict [[John Standish]].
| |
| *A statue of [[Rodrigo Borgia]] in his Papal attire was located outside the front doors.
| |
| *The CCO's office seems to have a [[Isaac Newton|Sir Isaac Newton]] theme to it. There is a Newton's cradle on the desk, and there are large spheres over the table which could have been inspired by Newton's cradle. Sir Isaac Newton was a scientist backed by the Templars.
| |
| *On the Sample 17 floor, images can be found that were on Shaun Hastings' board in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.
