With the much-anticipated release of Assassin's Creed Shadows just weeks away, IGN has provided fans with an ultimate recap of the franchise's expansive timeline. This 24-minute presentation succinctly summarizes every major plot twist from over a decade of Assassin's Creed series games, despite the series now boasting more than a dozen mainline titles. This concise summary is not surprising, considering the focus of the series has often been on open-world exploration rather than lengthy cinematic sequences.
The timeline kicks off straightforwardly, guiding players through ancient settings like Greece, Egypt, and Britain before journeying into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, the narrative begins to delve deeper into events in the modern world, adding complexity to the storyline. With Assassin's Creed Shadows, developers are aiming to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay elements. While future installments are anticipated to emphasize contemporary storylines more, specific details remain undisclosed.
Assassin's Creed Shadows, set to launch on March 20, 2025, marks the series' inaugural exploration of Japan. This new setting promises fresh gameplay mechanics and an exciting backdrop. Fans are eager to discover how this installment will influence the ongoing narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
