From VentureBeat:

Update: Here is the series, thanks to YouTube:

Assassin’s Creed: Lineage, created by acclaimed Hollywood special effects studio Hybride Technologies (which Ubisoft acquired last year) and Ubisoft Montreal’s Ubisoft Digital Arts (UDA), will make its global debut on Oct. 27 on the front page of YouTube in eight countries.

…

Last month, Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat and Hybride Technologies President and Head of Operations Pierre Raymond held a small press event to showcase what went into making the films, which utilize cutting-edge green screen effects that go beyond what Hybride accomplished with the Warner Bros. hit movie, 300.

…

“We are a content creator and a content provider,” Mallat said. “We’re making games. We are now making movies. And with the Assassin’s Creed: Lineage film series, the production value that went into these shorts is exactly the same should we have decided to go with a long feature.  And I think that that says it all.”
