And the Oscar-nominated actor reveals that he was a fascinated by the premise of the script from the first time that he read it.
Speaking to Total Film about the movie, Fassbender said: "I thought it was a really cool concept to start from,
"I wanted to take an audience on a fantasy ride, but give them something that fits some sort of scientific theory. That was a really interesting element to the game."
Assassin's Creed sees Fassbender reunite with filmmaker Justin Kurzel, whom he worked with on the critically acclaimed Macbeth.
The movie also see him reunite with his Macbeth co-star Marion Cotillard. Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, and Michael Kenneth Williams complete an exciting cast list.
