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

With the highly anticipated release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows just weeks away, IGN has unveiled an ultimate recap of the franchise's expansive timeline, encapsulating every pivotal plot twist from over a decade of the Assassin’s Creed series in a concise 24-minute presentation. Despite the series now boasting more than a dozen mainline titles, the entire chronology is neatly summarized, a feat made possible by the focus on open-world exploration over lengthy cinematic sequences.

The timeline kicks off in ancient settings such as Greece, Egypt, and Britain, before journeying to 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, the developers are set to recalibrate the balance between historical and modern gameplay. Future installments are poised to delve deeper into contemporary narratives, though specifics are yet to be disclosed.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows, slated for release on March 20, 2025, represents the series' inaugural venture into Japan, promising a novel setting and innovative gameplay mechanics.
