Assassin’s Creed is finally going to Ancient Rome, though it’s not the way you might expect. Though players have yearned for a game set during this period of history, the first taste of the Brotherhood during this era will come by way of Netflix’s upcoming live-action Assassin’s Creed series<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alongside a full cast reveal, which you can see in the image below in this story, Ubisoft also revealed that the untitled Netflix adaptation will be set in Ancient Rome in 64 AD. History buffs likely know what that year is infamous for in Roman history, but for those unaware, it’s the year of the Great Fire of Rome, which began in mid-July in 64 AD. Nearly three-quarters of Rome, or 10 of its 14 city districts, were destroyed as the fire raged for six days before it was eventually brought under control. The infamous Emperor Nero blamed the Christians in Rome and used this fire to initiate an empire-wide persecution of those practicing this religion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
