As the highly anticipated release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows approaches, IGN has unveiled 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, fitting the entire chronology into a concise 24-minute presentation. This brevity is hardly surprising, considering that the series primarily focuses on open-world exploration rather than extensive cinematic sequences.
