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 expansive timeline. This comprehensive summary encapsulates every significant plot twist from over a decade of *Assassin’s Creed* series games. Despite the series now boasting more than a dozen mainline titles, the entire chronology is neatly condensed into a 24-minute presentation.

The timeline starts straightforwardly, guiding players through ancient 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 complexity to the storyline. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the developers aim to strike a balance between historical and modern gameplay elements. Future installments are anticipated to further emphasize contemporary storylines, though specific details are yet to be revealed.
Scheduled for launch on March 20, 2025, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* marks the series' inaugural venture into Japan, promising a fresh setting and innovative gameplay mechanics. Fans are eager to discover how this new entry will influence the overarching narrative of the Assassin-Templar conflict.
