As part of the promotion ofAssassin’s Creed ShadowsUbisoft has released a quick chronology of the major episodes of the saga. Enough to put everything in your mind before discovering this future epic in Japan.
The Assassin’s Creed saga has existed since 2007, which means that we are on the cusp of its 20th anniversary. Over this immense period of time, spanning several generations, the episodes have multiplied, to the point that it is possible to get lost in the chronology. Especially since Ubisoft has not always respected a calendar order, which causes backs and forths in History.
As part of the promotion ofAssassin’s Creed Shadowsfuture opus expected for February 14, 2025 (after a delay that seems beneficial), Ubisoft has rightly taken stock of the official chronology of its cult and popular saga. In a clip broadcast on X (formerly Twitter) on January 7, we discover how the different episodes are arranged — based on the birth of the heroes. The opportunity to see where Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the frieze.
