The Acolyte Podcast is about combining my two greatest passions, that being History and video games. And after years of contemplation, I finally decided to take a leap of faith (pun intended) in creating my own section of the massive fandom with my first podcast! Mostly, this podcast is about ruminating on my love for Assassin's Creed, a little bit of lamenting what it has become, but also just contributing to the medium which has brought me so much joy. Moreover, I've been a part of this massive fanbase for over a decade, have played all the mainline games, immersed myself in many of the transmedia projects such as the books, comics, manga, and movie; and with this podcast, it is a passion project of mine so I hope to continue being a flag bearer for the classic/hardcore fans to hopefully give them a place where we can ultimately share our love and nostalgia for Assassin's Creed.

23 APR 2025 Ā· One of the coolest secrets you can find inĀ Assassin's Creed SyndicateĀ is a Rift that transports you forward about 50 years to World War 1 era London. Here,Ā Lydia FryeĀ is introduced. And while she is amazing for the time you play as her, it is very short-lived, unfortunately.
16 APR 2025 Ā· One half of the "Frye Twins." Leader of the Rooks. The main star ofĀ Assassin's Creed Syndicate. One of my least favorite characters, Jacob Frye.
9 APR 2025 Ā· Back in 2017, it was announced that Netflix was going to make anĀ Assassin's CreedĀ series for it's streaming service. It was announced again in 2020 that they could make any live-action, animated, or anime project for their platform. Then, in 2022, this partenrship was once again announced with a showrunner in place. Close to 3 years since, we haven't heard a peep about the status of the series until a (credible?) movie industry "insider" recently rumored that the project(s) are still in development but are a few years away. For more in depth information on what he said and my take on it all, give this episode a listen. I appreciate you for checking it out!

2 APR 2025 Ā· Howdy partner! AnĀ Assassin's Creed game set in the Wild West is surely an interesting prospect. Even though there was an in-game teaser email (found in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag) regarding this possible time period, we have yet to see this franchise tackle the Wild West setting. And after many years of surveys and comments for this time period being highly requested by many fans, I don't believe it is a good idea to find ourselves stalking our target from the shadows in the throes of the American Wild West. This episode is part of a "mini-series" of highly requested settings that I personally don't want to see done in Assassin's Creed.Ā The other two episodes will be releasing in May & June. So, please check them out when they are available! Thanks for listening!

26 MAR 2025 Ā· Welcome to the "Revisited Series!" In this series, I am going back through each mainline Assassin's Creed game and "revisiting" them (see what I did there...).

5 MAR 2025 Ā· We finally made it...and what a journey it has been.

Here are my pre-release thoughts and musings on how I feel aboutĀ ShadowsĀ right before it launches. Thanks for listening!

19 FEB 2025 Ā· After striking a deal with a Saudi backed investor "Savvy Games Group," it looks as if Ubisoft will create a DLC forĀ Assassin's Creed Mirage after all. We may see it sooner rather than later. Furthermore, what stories are they going to potentially tell? I explore three interesting ideas in this episode. Please enjoy!
