What’s the Story About?
Forget the Renaissance — this series dives into Nero’s Rome. Set between 54–68 AD, the plot follows a new assassin uncovering a conspiracy that runs from the imperial court straight into Rome’s criminal underbelly. Seneca the Younger and Emperor Nero are central figures, making this a politically charged thriller steeped in history.
Fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise will recognise the eternal war between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order — that shadow conflict is very much alive here, just transplanted to ancient streets.
Importantly, no existing game characters will appear. This is a fresh story.
