Ubisoft is in Talks With Netflix For a TV Series
It's been a pretty slow news day in the entertainment world so far, so you'll have to forgive me for writing an entire article about a single bit of information from a report in Reuters. But that bit could prove fairly interesting down the line, and the statement in question is that Yves Guillemot, the chairman of video game company Ubisoft, told reporters that the company is "in talks with Netflix over a series."
A Ubisoft TV series, hmm? OK, so naturally the question becomes "what game are they considering adapting for the small screen?" With the Assassin's Creed movie finally coming out next month, there's a chance they could be looking into a spin-off series to keep that franchise alive between sequels (assuming it performs well enough to earn one). With games like Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, The Division, Watch Dogs, and more being eyed for the big screen, that only leaves a few Ubisoft properties left for TV. Far Cry, Call of Juarez, and Rainbow Six have potential, and since this is Netflix we're talking about, I wouldn't even put it past them to maybe develop a children's show around a game like Just Dance that's specifically designed to keep kids active and entertained.
Which game do you think is the best fit for a TV series?
