20th Century Fox’s film adaptation of the mega-franchise video game Assassin’s Creed will get released to Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, and 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray on March 21, 2017. The movie will likely be released earlier on Digital HD, at least two weeks before the discs and on-demand rental options.
On Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray, Assassin’s Creed is formatted in the standard 1080p, while the 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray edition will feature four-times the resolution at 2160p. As with other Fox releases the UHD BD title includes HDR specifications (noted by the Ultra HD Premium logo). Audio on the Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray discs is formatted in high quality Dolby Atmos backed by a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 track.
The Blu-ray editions are currently available to pre-order. The standard Blu-ray is selling for $19.99, the 3D Blu-ray for $37.99, and the Ultra HD Blu-ray edition for $39.99. We fully expect the prices of the 3D and 4k versions to drop before release date. Each combo edition also includes a Digital HD copy.
Assassin’s Creed was directed by Justin Kurzel and stars Michael Fassbender as the protagonist Cal Lynch (aka Aguilar). Marion Cotillard, Brendan Gleeson, and Jeremy Irons also star in the film.
