Assassin’s Creed
Follow the Assassin–Templar conflict by historical setting without losing the separate release-led story of Desmond, Abstergo, Layla and the Animus Hub.
Assassin's Creed
Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Third Crusade. The original. Structurally repetitive by modern standards; historically essential.
Assassin's Creed (2016 film)
Aguilar de Nerha, Spanish Inquisition, plus a modern-day Callum Lynch strand. Officially "in the universe" but never integrated with the games' continuity. Treat as its own branch.
Assassin's Creed (film novelisation)
Christie Golden. Expands the film substantially.
Assassin's Creed Dynasty
Li E during the An Lushan Rebellion, Tang dynasty China. Chinese-market original; a genuinely under-read corner of the franchise.
Assassin's Creed II
Ezio in Florence, Venice, Tuscany. The best entry point to the entire franchise. Everything the series is known for begins here.
Assassin's Creed III
Haytham (1754–60) then Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton (1760–83), American Revolution. Structurally ambitious, tonally divisive.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Edward Kenway, Golden Age of Piracy. Frequently named the best game in the series. A remake ("Black Flag Resynced") is in development.
Assassin's Creed Mirage
Basim Ibn Ishaq in Abbasid Baghdad. A deliberate return to the pre-RPG formula. Historically before Valhalla, but must be played after it — its modern-day framing spoils Valhalla entirely.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Peloponnesian War. Kassandra is the canonical protagonist. The franchise's largest historical map and its loosest connection to Assassin lore — no Assassins exist yet.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Gordon Doherty.
Assassin's Creed Origins
Ptolemaic Egypt. The founding of the Hidden Ones. If you want the Brotherhood's actual origin story, this is it.
Assassin's Creed Origins
Oliver Bowden.
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Shay Cormac, an Assassin who defects to the Templars. The franchise's best structural argument — it makes you the villain of AC III and is right to. Overlooked because it shipped on last-gen hardware the same week as Unity.
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Naoe and Yasuke. Two protagonists, both canonical, with materially different playstyles. The franchise's most requested setting, delivered after fifteen years of asking.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Jacob and Evie Frye, Victorian London. The last pre-RPG mainline game.
Assassin's Creed Unity
Arno Dorian, French Revolution. Catastrophic launch; now patched to 60fps and substantially rehabilitated. The densest crowd simulation and best parkour in the series.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Eivor Varinsdottir. Norway and England. The longest game in the series by a wide margin.
Assassin's Creed: Ascendance
Cesare Borgia's backstory, told in motion-comic style.
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
Oliver Bowden.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Oliver Bowden.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Rome. Introduces recruit management and the series' first multiplayer. Widely regarded as the peak of the pre-RPG era.
Assassin's Creed: Embers
Ezio's final days and death. Ten minutes long. Do not skip it — it is the actual ending of the Ezio trilogy and it ships buried in a bonus menu.
Assassin's Creed: Forsaken
Oliver Bowden. Haytham Kenway's journal. Recontextualises AC III entirely; best read before it, not after.
Assassin's Creed: Gold
Anthony Del Col. Aliyah Khan in the present; her ancestor Omar Khaled during Isaac Newton's Great Recoinage. The only audio-native story in the franchise — it exists in no other form. Full cast including Riz Ahmed and Anthony Head; Danny Wallace reprises Shaun Hastings.
Assassin's Creed: Lineage
Giovanni Auditore, Ezio's father. Produced as a marketing prequel to AC II; genuinely good, entirely canon, almost forgotten.
Assassin's Creed: Renaissance
Oliver Bowden. The first AC novel.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Oliver Bowden.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Ezio in Constantinople, aged 52, searching for Altaïr's library. Closes both Altaïr's and Ezio's arcs at once.
Assassin's Creed: Underworld
Oliver Bowden. Henry Green and the London Brotherhood before Syndicate.
Assassin's Creed: Unity
Oliver Bowden.

Arbaaz Mir.
AC Chronicles: Russia
Nikolai Orelov during the Romanov execution. Concludes the Chronicles trilogy.
AC Codename Hexe

AC Codename Invictus
Announced 2022.
AC Codename Jade
Ancient China, Qin dynasty. Announced 2022; repeatedly delayed, still no date as of the compile date.
AC II: Discovery
Ezio in Inquisition-era Spain. Rarely reissued.
AC III: Liberation
Aveline de Grandpré in New Orleans. The first AC game with a female lead.
AC III: The Tyranny of King Washington
Explicitly an Animus anomaly. George Washington as a mad king with an Apple of Eden. It is canon that this did not happen. A rare case of a franchise formally labelling its own what-if.
AC IV: Black Flag remake ("Resynced")
Officially teased 2026.
AC IV: Freedom Cry
Adéwalé in Saint-Domingue. A slave-rebellion story; the most politically serious thing the franchise has made. Released standalone as well as DLC.
AC Mirage: A Soar of Eagles
Michael Avon Oeming. Roshan and Fuladh; prequel to the game.
AC Mirage: Daughter of No One
Maria Lewis. Roshan's backstory before Mirage.

Attack on Titan crossover
Excluded from the narrative catalogue. Cosmetic crossovers carry no original story. Listed only so the exclusion is deliberate rather than accidental.
Discovery Tour modes
Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Viking Age. Non-narrative guided tours, built with academic consultants. Excluded from the story catalogue; genuinely worth your time anyway.
Multiplayer modes
