With the much-anticipated release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows just weeks away, IGN has crafted an ultimate recap of the franchise's expansive timeline. This comprehensive summary encapsulates every significant plot twist from over a decade of Assassin’s Creed series games. Despite the series now boasting more than a dozen mainline titles, the entire chronology is neatly condensed into a concise 24-minute presentation. This brevity is not surprising, considering the focus of the gameplay is on immersive open-world exploration rather than lengthy cinematic sequences.
The timeline starts straightforwardly, guiding players through ancient Greece, Egypt, and Britain before journeying into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, the narrative increasingly intertwines with events in the modern world, adding layers of complexity to the storyline. With Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the developers are set to rebalance the focus between historical and modern gameplay elements. While future installments are expected to delve deeper into contemporary storylines, specific details about these plans are yet to be revealed.
Scheduled for launch on March 20, 2025, Assassin’s Creed Shadows represents the series' inaugural exploration of Japan, offering fans a new setting and innovative gameplay mechanics. Enthusiasts are eager to discover how this new entry will influence the overarching narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
