Assassin's Creed: The Fall
Assassin's Creed: The Fall is an upcoming comic book mini-series to be published by Wildstorm. The mini-series, consisting of 3 issues, will follow the journey of the Russian Assassin Nikolai Orelov during the early 20th Century, whose genetic memories are being viewed by his present-day descendant: Daniel Cross.[1]
To be written by Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl, the new comic book series was initially going to be an expansion of the travels of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, but was moved to an entirely new setting to provide greater freedom to the writers. Despite this, the comic will still utilise the long-standing Templar vs Assassin feud as the base of its story.[1]
