Helix interface screen

Helix is a cloud-based software developed by Abstergo Entertainment and released in 2014.

A continuation of the Data Dump Scanner, a creation of Álvaro Gramática,[1] the Helix software allowed users to view 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 could also collect players' genetic data without their knowledge.[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] Jacob and Evie Frye.[5]

Known Helix memories

Works in progress (c. 2014)

As of 2014, Abstergo Entertainment was working on a number of Helix programs planned to release in the nearby future:
