Get ready for a new chapter in the legendary Assassin’s Creed saga! The first official trailer for Assassin’s Creed (2025) has just dropped, and Tom Cruise steps into the lead role of Desmond Miles, a man thrust into the world of ancient assassins and a secret war that spans centuries.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Dune), Assassin’s Creed (2025) is a thrilling, action-packed reimagining of the acclaimed video game franchise. Desmond Miles, a modern-day man with ancient memories locked within him, is forced to relive the memories of his ancestors through the Animus, a machine that unlocks genetic memories. He finds himself reliving the lives of legendary assassins from history, battling against the Templar Order and their dark, world-controlling agenda.

The teaser opens with Desmond Miles (Cruise) waking up in a sleek, futuristic laboratory, his face a mix of confusion and realization. He is led into the Animus, where the machine activates, and his body is thrown into an intense, fast-paced memory of an ancient assassin’s life. His voiceover echoes, full of urgency: “They don’t understand. It’s not just the past… It’s the key to our future.”

Key moments from the trailer include:

• Tom Cruise’s Desmond Miles reliving the lives of multiple assassins, including a s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed warrior in Renaissance Italy, a silent 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er in Ancient Egypt, and a relentless assassin in Medieval Spain, each offering breathtaking historical settings and action-packed sequences

• Intense parkour and combat sequences as Desmond, within the Animus, pulls off impossible stunts—jumping across rooftops, engaging in close combat with enemies, and wielding hidden blades with deadly precision

• A major confrontation with The Templar Order, led by Michael Fassbender (reprising his role as Callum Lynch), a villainous figure seeking to control the ancient secrets that the assassins guard

• A pulse-pounding chase sequence set in modern-day New York City, where Desmond is on the run from Templar agents while trying to stop a global conspiracy from unfolding

• A stunning visual of Desmond Miles confronting an ancient artifact tied to the Creed’s origins, a relic that could change the course of history forever

• A heart-wrenching, philosophical moment where Desmond struggles with his identity, torn between the bloodlines of both assassins and Templars, unsure of who he really is in the grand scheme of the war

• A shocking twist where Desmond realizes that the war between the Assassins and Templars is not just a fight for power—but a race to prevent the end of humanity itself

The film promises a gripping mix of historical action, modern-day intrigue, and deep philosophical exploration. Cruise’s portrayal of Desmond brings both physicality and emotional depth, while the high-stakes action and stunning visual effects bring the world of Assassin’s Creed to life like never before.
