Helix is a cloud-based software developed by Abstergo Entertainment.
A continuation of the Data Dump Scanner, a creation of Álvaro Gramática,[1] the Helix software allowed for accounts of various Templars and Assassins throughout history, with propaganda-based narrations delivered by Abstergo in favor of the former, delivered to the public via a games console-style format at a cheap price.[2] Using the headsets, Abstergo can also collect players' genetic data.[3]
Through Helix, a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment relived Shay Cormac's memories and fixed the damage caused by a virus hidden within Shay's memory bank.[4]
Around the same time, an individual associated with the Assassins used a game console running on the Helix software to relive the memories of Arno Dorian,[2] and Jacob and Evie Frye.[5]

- The Bladed Cross: features a Roman Assassin during Constantine I's rule as Roman Emperor,[2] set in 330 AD.[6]
- Jazz Age Junkies: features an American Assassin during the Jazz Age,[2] and explores the lives of writers Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein.[6]

Works in progress (c.2014)
In 2014, Abstergo Entertainment was working on a number of Helix programs for development:
- Fallen Heroes Series[6]
- Jacques de Molay[6]
- Rodrigo Borgia[6]
- Cesare Borgia[6]
- Haytham Kenway[6]
- Prince Ahmet[6]
- Laureano Torres[6]
- Robert de Sable[6]
- History's Hit Men Series[6]
- They Walk Among Us[6]
- Animus: History's Battleground: multiplayer re-enactments of the American Revolution[6]
- Animus: History's Battleground 2: multiplayer re-enactments of the Golden Age of Piracy[6]
- Dvija A.I.: Monima Das' final film[6]
- White Death: features Nikolai Orelov[6]
- Wounded Dragon, Rising Phoenix: features Shao Jun[6]
- The Sad Lonely Death of Ratonhnhaké:ton[6]
Trivia
- The Helix menu in Assassin's Creed: Unity presents the user with twelve memories - nine of which correspond to events related to eight real-world Assassin's Creed games - although players can only access The Tragedy of Jacques de Molay.
- The experience starring Edward is seemingly mislabeled as "Devils of the Caribbean", Abstergo's feature film, when the title of their video game adaptation of Edward's memories was "Pirates of Nightmares".
- Abstergo Entertainment’s Helix Navigator used a Hospitalier Antivirus program, referencing the Knights Hospitalier.
