Assassin’s Creed Timeline Condensed into a 24-Minute Recap

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 extensive timeline. This 24-minute presentation neatly summarizes every major plot twist from over a decade of *Assassin’s Creed* games. The brevity of the recap is notable, especially given that the series now boasts over a dozen mainline titles. This concise format is understandable, as the gameplay often focuses on open-world exploration rather than extensive cinematic sequences.

The timeline kicks off in ancient settings such as Greece, Egypt, and Britain before moving into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, the narrative increasingly incorporates modern-day events, adding layers of complexity to the storyline. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the developers are set to recalibrate the balance between historical and modern gameplay. While specific details about future installments are still under wraps, fans can expect a greater focus on contemporary narratives moving forward.

Scheduled for release on March 20, 2025, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* will be the first entry in the series to explore Japan, introducing a new setting and innovative gameplay mechanics. Enthusiasts are eager to see how this installment will influence the ongoing saga of the Assassin-Templar conflict, promising a fresh chapter in the beloved franchise.
