'Game of Thrones with parkour': how will Netflix adapt Assassin's Creed?

Few video games have endured like Assassin's Creed. Twelve different versions have been released since the game was introduced in 2007, each of them more or less clinging to the same highly enjoyable formula. Like spending the final hour of any pursuit genuinely confused about why an alien has come out of nowhere to instruct you to murder everyone with a sort of glowing death apple? Then Assassin's Creed is for you. So the news that Netflix has just commissioned a live-action Assassin's Creed series should be cause for celebration.
