Shownotes

What began as a game about a bodyguard for a prince evolved into a genre-defining series, steeped in the mythos of the real-life Order of Assassins and inspired by Vladimir Bartol’s novel Alamut. Join us as we explore how Ubisoft’s ambitious leap of faith turned parkour, historical fiction, and stealth into the DNA of a franchise that blurred the lines between fact and fantasy
