The suit notes that both Beiswenger's novel and the Assassin's Creed games contain spiritual and biblical overtones, a theme of good battling evil

Wow so similar!!

"In 'Link,' the plaintiff's plot includes the conception and creation of a device and process whereby ancestral memories can be accessed, recalled, relived, and re-experienced by the user." It also contains a device to access those memories described similarly to the Animus in Assassin's Creed.

Yeesh. That's a pretty similar concept.

Well, the Animus thingy is pretty similar indeed.

It says $1 million, or $5 million if Ubisoft is found to have willfully copied stuff. Shouldn't Ubisoft only be sued if they willfully copied stuff?

Anyway, copyrighting plot devices is kinda dumb, pretty soon we'll run out of stories.

Ubisoft will almost certainly settle out-of-court based on those similarities.
