As the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows approaches, just weeks away, IGN has provided an ultimate recap of the expansive timeline of the Assassin’s Creed series. This recap neatly compiles over a decade of major plot twists from more than a dozen mainline titles into a concise 24-minute presentation. The brevity of the recap is understandable, considering the series' focus on open-world exploration rather than extensive cinematic sequences.
The journey through the franchise's timeline starts straightforwardly, guiding players through ancient civilizations like Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before moving 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 recalibrate the balance between historical and modern gameplay. While future installments are anticipated to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, the specifics are yet to be revealed.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, slated for release on March 20, 2025, will be the first entry in the series to explore Japan, introducing a new setting and innovative gameplay mechanics. Fans are eager to discover how this installment will influence the ongoing saga of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
