Abstergo Entertainment

Abstergo Entertainment is a subsidiary of Abstergo Industries, tasked with producing multimedia consumer goods.
Its primary product is a gaming console version of the Animus, known as Animus Omega, which is sold on a worldwide scale. Through its initial basis, it enabled the company to influence the general public through pre-packaged genetic memories and wide, social gaming constructs.
==History==
The company that would eventually become Abstergo Entertainment was a software developer in the 1990s.Assassin's Creed: The Official Movie Novelization
Founded as Abstergo Entertainment in 2010, the company's main mediums included video games, movies and other media sourced from genetic memories. Their games were released in partnership with Ubisoft. The division's first major release was a 2012 game entitled Liberation, entailing the story of the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré.Assassin's Creed IV: Black FlagAssassin's Creed III: Liberation
Since 2013, Abstergo Entertainment offices in Montreal have been focusing on the Sample 17 Project, involving the genetic memories harvested from Desmond Miles' DNA, in hopes of finding new, interesting settings for future products. The two current projects derived from these memories are a video game titled Pirates of Nightmares, and a feature film titled Devils of the Caribbean, both focusing on Desmond's ancestor, Edward Kenway, a British pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy. They also focus the memories of another pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy, Alonzo Batilla, a French and great partner of Olivier Levasseur, in order to find the treasures that Oliver had hidden before his execution.Assassin's Creed: Pirates In a similar spirit, they are also reviewing the genetic memories retrieved from other Assassins throughout history, a venture referred to as the Identity Project.Assassin's Creed: Identity
Due to the company's Templar affiliation, any products that involved the Templars or Assassins, their ongoing war, or any traces of the mysterious First Civilization were heavily censored or even modified, either omitting evidence of the hidden Orders or presenting the Templars as a benevolent group committed to stopping the malicious Assassins. However, despite these aims, the scheme faced some opposition from a group of hackers known only as the Erudito Collective, who intended to reveal the falsified histories which Abstergo had created for their products.Assassin's Creed III
In the future, the company hopes to open "sample collection" locations, where individuals can donate samples of their genetic code to the Abstergo system, allowing the company access to exciting new scenarios locked away within DNA. These genetic memories would then be explored by research analysts, and, if deemed good investments, would go into production.
In 2018, Abstergo Entertainment produced a mobile game entitled Rebellion, focusing on the memories of the Spanish Assassin Aguilar de Nerha during the Spanish Inquisition.Assassin's Creed: Rebellion

==Trivia==
*The Abstergo Entertainment Montreal building is located on the site of the real life .
*Despite being a subsidiary of the Templar-run Abstergo Industries, there were no major Templars working at Abstergo Entertainment in 2013, although some of the Inner Sanctum such as Alan Rikkin and Laetitia England were in contact with the subsidiary's CCO Olivier Garneau. This changed with the induction of Melanie Lemay, who succeeded Garneau after his disappearance in Chicago.Assassin's Creed: Rogue
*As of 11 November, 2014, the introduction to this page can be found on the bathroom screens in Assassin's Creed: Rogue.
*In Assassin's Creed: Rogue, one of the busts near the CCO's office was changed to depict John Standish.
*A statue of Rodrigo Borgia in his Papal attire was located outside the front doors.
*The CCO's office seems to have a Sir Isaac Newton theme to it. There is a Newton's cradle on the desk, and there are large spheres over the table which could have been inspired by Newton's cradle. Sir Isaac Newton was a scientist backed by the Templars.
*On the Sample 17 floor, images can be found that were on Shaun Hastings' board in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
*At one point in the development Assassin's Creed: Unity, a "L. P. Garneau" was going to be credited with the writing and directing of the feature The Tragedy of Jacques de Molay.
