IGN has released a concise 24-minute video recapping the sprawling timeline of the Assassin's Creed franchise, covering major plot points from over a decade of games. Despite the series' numerous titles, the complex chronology is surprisingly easy to follow in this presentation. This is partly due to the series' focus on open-world exploration rather than extensive cutscenes.
The timeline begins with adventures in ancient Greece, Egypt, and Britain, eventually reaching the Holy Land. However, the narrative increasingly shifts towards modern-day events, adding layers of complexity. Assassin's Creed Shadows, launching March 20, 2025, aims to rebalance the historical and modern gameplay elements. Future installments will reportedly emphasize contemporary storylines, though specifics remain undisclosed.
Assassin's Creed Shadows marks the series' debut in Japan, offering a new setting and gameplay mechanics. This new entry promises to significantly impact the overarching narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
