French gaming company Ubisoft and 20th Century Fox have finally outed the second trailer of their forthcoming Assassin’s Creed movie. And it looks pretty awesome.
As per the previous trailer, we track Michael Fassbender’s Callum Lynch through the movie’s time-fractured world. Tracing the footsteps of his forefather Aguilar through modern technology, Lynch seemingly learns that some can be trusted, some can’t and others can be stabbed with a pointy blade.
