For those unfamiliar the story behind Ubisoft’s history-hopping video game franchise, Abstergo is the modern day corporation that serves as a front for the Templars, the enemies of the Assassin Order. Earlier today, Azaïzia Aymar posted new photos on his Twitter page, revealing two ancient Templar swords, which are in a display case at Abstergo Industries.

Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. This French knight also co-wrote the Latin Rule with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, the Knights Templar’s creed and code of behavior. Like Syndicate, Black Flag also followed the release of a less favorably reviewed Assassin’s Creed game and suffered from lower week one sales than its predecessor. After gaining incredible knowledge and skills he’s poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day. The film is directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Macbeth); produced by New Regency, Ubisoft Motion Pictures, DMC Films and Kennedy/Marshall; co-financed by RatPac Entertainment and Alpha Pictures; and distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Ariane Labed, Michael K. Williams, Jeremy Irons and Brendan Gleeson and opens on December 21st, 2016.
