As the release of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* draws near, IGN has provided fans with an ultimate recap of the franchise’s extensive timeline. This 24-minute presentation neatly summarizes every significant plot twist from over a decade of *Assassin’s Creed* games. Despite the series boasting more than a dozen mainline titles, the entire chronology is covered concisely. This is likely because the games focus more on open-world exploration than on lengthy cinematic sequences.
The timeline kicks off straightforwardly, guiding players through historical settings like ancient 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 complexity to the storyline. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, developers are set to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay. While future installments are expected to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, specific details about these upcoming stories are yet to be revealed.
Scheduled for launch on March 20, 2025, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* will take players to Japan for the first time in the series. This new setting promises fresh gameplay mechanics and a unique backdrop. Fans are eagerly anticipating how this installment will influence the ongoing saga of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
