"Assassin’s Creed Saga: 24-Minute Timeline Recap"

As the much-anticipated release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows draws near, IGN has provided fans with an ultimate recap of the franchise's expansive timeline. This comprehensive 24-minute presentation neatly summarizes the major plot twists from over a decade of Assassin’s Creed games, despite the series now boasting more than a dozen mainline titles. The brevity of this recap is not surprising, considering the series' focus on open-world exploration rather than extensive cinematic sequences.

The timeline kicks off straightforwardly, guiding players through ancient civilizations such as Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before moving into the Holy Land. As the series evolves, the narrative increasingly intertwines with events in the modern world, adding layers of complexity to the storyline. With Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set to launch on March 20, 2025, the developers are aiming to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay. While future installments are expected to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, specifics about these developments remain undisclosed.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows marks the series' first exploration of Japan, introducing a fresh setting and innovative gameplay mechanics. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how this new entry will influence the overarching narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
