What was the first Assassin's Creed feature film, released in 2016, called?

The first Assassin's Creed feature film, released in 2016, was called Assassin's Creed.

Directed by Justin Kurzel, the film stars Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch and as his Spanish Assassin ancestor, Aguilar de Nerha. Its modern-day story involves Abstergo and the Animus, while its historical sections take place during the Spanish Inquisition.

The film was produced as a cinematic adaptation of the video-game franchise rather than as a retelling of one specific game. It introduced original characters and a new historical branch while retaining the series' central conflict between Assassins and Templars.

Several shorter Assassin's Creed productions existed before the film, including Assassin's Creed: Lineage, a 2009 live-action promotional series, and animated works such as Embers. Those projects are not feature films released theatrically, which is why the 2016 film's official title remains simply Assassin's Creed.
