Previously announced at E3 2009, Ubisoft will be launching their digital live action shorts titled Assassin's Creed Lineage on YouTube, October 27. The film is made by Ubisoft Digital Art, which includes the recently acquired Hybrid Studio. Hybrid is probably best known for their work on films such as Sin City and 300. The film will flesh out the background for the upcoming Assassin's Creed 2 video game and act as a prequel. The environmental backgrounds for the live action shorts are actually created from the Anvil Engine, used in the Assassin's Creed video games adding an interesting dynamic that blends Hollywood and video games. Trailer for the film included inside.

(Update: Video One has been released and included inside)
