This is the first trailer from the film and as you can see it looks impressively similar to the game. The assassin even appears to be doing the iconic drop from a tall building into a hay cart at the end. The character Michael Fassbender is playing is not Desmond from the game, although the basic idea of being forced to explore his genetic memories by an evil corporation is the same. The setting of 15th century Spain during the Inquisition has never been used in any of the games, but again looks similar to many of them. Official Trailer:.
