Assassin's Creed: 24-Minute Timeline Recap

IGN has released a concise 24-minute recap of the sprawling Assassin's Creed timeline, perfectly summarizing the major plot twists from over a decade of games. Despite the series boasting more than a dozen mainline titles, the entire chronology fits neatly into this short presentation. This brevity is understandable, given the series' focus on open-world exploration rather than extensive cutscenes.

The timeline begins with familiar historical settings: ancient Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before moving to the Holy Land. However, as the series progresses, the narrative increasingly shifts to modern-day events, adding layers of complexity. Assassin's Creed Shadows, launching March 20, 2025, aims to rebalance this, offering a blend of historical and modern gameplay. Future installments are expected to further emphasize contemporary storylines, though specifics remain undisclosed.

Assassin's Creed Shadows marks the series' first venture into Japan, promising a fresh setting and new gameplay mechanics. This new entry promises to significantly impact the overarching narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict, leaving fans eager to uncover its secrets.
