Assassin’s Creed Timeline: 24-Minute Recap

With the eagerly anticipated release of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* just weeks away, IGN has put together a comprehensive recap of the franchise's expansive timeline. This ultimate summary condenses over a decade of the series' major plot twists into a concise 24-minute presentation. Given that much of the gameplay in the *Assassin’s Creed* series focuses on open-world exploration rather than extended cinematic sequences, the brevity of the recap is not surprising.

The timeline kicks off with journeys through ancient civilizations such as Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before moving into the Holy Land. As the series unfolds, the narrative increasingly intertwines with events in the modern world, adding layers of complexity to the storyline. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the developers are aiming to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay elements. While future installments are anticipated to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, the specifics are still shrouded in mystery.

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. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how this installment will influence the ongoing saga of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
