E3 2016: 6 Ups & 4 Downs From Ubisoft's Conference

4. New Assassin's Creed Movie Footage

With the Assassin's Creed movie dropping this Christmas, Ubisoft unsurprisingly gave it a few minutes of time at the conference, talking to producer Frank Marshall and dropping a behind-the-scenes video which also showed off some more footage from the film.

Considering that Warcraft's failure leaves the gaming world still anxiously awaiting a truly great video game movie, there's a lot of pressure on this one to succeed, and this visually lavish sizzle reel at least cemented that the film is going to be totally gorgeous if nothing else.

Also, the clip gave fans their first glimpse of the fellow Abstergo patients played by Brendan Gleeson and Michael K. Williams, so that's cool. Nothing Earth-shattering here, but it continues to solidify the film's impressive PR offensive moving forward.
