With the highly anticipated release of Assassin's Creed Shadows just weeks away, IGN has provided fans with an ultimate recap of the franchise's extensive timeline. This comprehensive summary encapsulates every major plot twist from over a decade of Assassin's Creed series games, fitting the entire chronology into a concise 24-minute presentation. The brevity of this recap is not surprising, considering that much of the gameplay in these titles focuses on expansive open-world exploration rather than lengthy cinematic sequences.
The timeline starts straightforwardly, guiding players through historical settings such as ancient Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before moving into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, the narrative increasingly incorporates events in the modern world, adding layers of complexity to the storyline. With Assassin's Creed Shadows, the developers are aiming to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay elements. Future installments are expected to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, though specific details about these plans are still under wraps.
Assassin's Creed Shadows, set to launch on March 20, 2025, marks the series' first venture into Japan. This new setting promises to introduce fresh gameplay mechanics and a unique backdrop. Fans eagerly anticipate discovering how this entry will influence the overarching narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict, adding yet another exciting chapter to the storied franchise.
