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 expansive timeline. This comprehensive summary captures 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, the entire chronology is neatly condensed into a 24-minute presentation. This concise format is not surprising, considering the series emphasizes open-world exploration over extended cinematic sequences.
The timeline starts straightforwardly, guiding players through ancient Greece, Egypt, and Britain before moving into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, however, the narrative increasingly intertwines with events in the modern world, adding layers of complexity to the storyline. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the developers aim to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay. Future installments are anticipated to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, although specific details are yet to be revealed.
Scheduled for launch on March 20, 2025, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* represents the series' first exploration of Japan. This new setting promises fresh gameplay mechanics and a unique backdrop. Fans are eager to discover how this entry will influence the overarching narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
