Assassin’s Creed Initiation is an original fan film created by TheDuoGroup. (Not an official video.) Initiation follows Altair as he performs the final perilous steps, which all apprentices must pass before entering the Brotherhood.
“Initiation” takes place before Altair has received the coveted title of “Hashshashin.” Like all young men, Altair aspired to leave his mark on the world. After years of grueling training, fear and anticipation course through his veins. Anticipation, because he understands that this is the last rite of passage towards brotherhood. Fear, because he knows that though hundreds of apprentices have reached this point, few come back alive.

Cool. Reminds me of the old school 2d adventure games like King’s Quest.
Wow. Epic is a word thrown around a lot these days, but it’s the word that comes to mind here. I loved how you worked in the mythological symbolism. Total nerdgasm. Great film!
Awesome! Just awesome! The story, the howl ‘mark on the wall’ thingy, everything was awesome. You guys are indeed gifted people! I’m watching it in total ‘aw’! /bows
Excellent job, loved every second.
Nice job! Really amazing…i hope for another work about the world of Assassin’s Creed! Maybe translate it in multilanguage…i’m italian, and for me it could be great you to make an alternative ending of AC2..standing ovation for you!

We used a bunch of programs to create this. Our artist used Corel Painter to create the art and then we used After Effects and Premiere to put it all together.
