As the highly anticipated release of Assassin's Creed Shadows draws near, IGN has provided an ultimate recap of the franchise's expansive timeline. This comprehensive 24-minute presentation neatly summarizes the major plot twists from over a decade of Assassin's Creed series games. The brevity of the recap is understandable, considering the series' focus on open-world exploration rather than lengthy cinematic sequences.
The timeline kicks off with straightforward narratives set in ancient locales like Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before journeying into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, the narrative complexity increases, with a growing emphasis on modern-day events. With Assassin's Creed Shadows, the developers are aiming to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay elements. While future installments are expected to delve deeper into contemporary storylines, specific details are yet to be revealed.
Assassin's Creed Shadows, set to launch on March 20, 2025, marks the franchise's first exploration of Japan. This new setting promises fresh gameplay mechanics and a unique backdrop for the ongoing Assassin-Templar conflict. Fans are eager to see how this entry will influence the overarching narrative of the series.
