With the much-anticipated release of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* just weeks away, IGN has provided fans with a comprehensive recap of the franchise’s expansive timeline. This 24-minute presentation succinctly summarizes every major plot twist across more than a dozen mainline titles in the *Assassin’s Creed* series. The brevity of the recap is understandable, considering the series focuses heavily on open-world exploration rather than extended cinematic sequences.
The timeline kicks off in ancient civilizations such as Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before moving into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, the narrative increasingly intertwines with 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 future installments are anticipated to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, specific details are yet to be revealed.
Scheduled for release on March 20, 2025, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* introduces players to the rich setting of feudal Japan for the first time in the series. This new entry promises not only a fresh backdrop but also innovative gameplay mechanics. Fans are eager to discover how *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* will influence the ongoing saga of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
