With Assassin’s Creed Shadows launching soon, IGN has unveiled a comprehensive franchise recap covering every major twist across the series' decade-long saga. Despite encompassing over a dozen main games, the entire timeline gets condensed into a concise 24-minute breakdown – fitting given the franchise's focus on open-world exploration over lengthy cutscenes.
The overview starts straightforwardly, guiding viewers through ancient Greece, Egypt, and Britain before reaching the Holy Land. As the timeline progresses, however, the narrative increasingly shifts focus toward modern-day events, adding layers of complexity. Developers intend Assassin’s Creed Shadows to rebalance historical and contemporary gameplay, with future installments reportedly prioritizing modern storylines – though specifics remain undisclosed.
Scheduled for release on March 20, 2025, Assassin’s Creed Shadows represents the franchise's first Japanese setting, introducing fresh mechanics and environments. Fans anticipate discovering how this installment will redefine the centuries-old Assassin-Templar conflict.
