Assassin's Creed came beating the war drums in 2007, with a truly original proposal that was already possible thanks to the graphic power of consoles of that time. Both PS3 and Xbox 360 and, of course, PC, made it possible to realize the old idea that was around the heads of some members of Ubisoft of creating an immense stage through which we could travel on foot or on horseback delivering justice from the so-called assassins' creed.
The saga turns 15
In 2022, Assassin's Creed cturned 15 years old and the French company has prepared for this commemoration some pomp which include a complete launch strategy that covers practically all existing platforms: new and previous generation consoles, computers, cloud gaming and of course mobile phones and tablets. Assassin's Creed Mirage, Assassin's Creed Codename Jade, Red y Hexe and the Project Infinity that will rule them all.
Originally few believed that the saga would succeed as it has. Ubisoft took it for granted that it was an important game, but the real magic was made possible by the universe created around Altaïr, Ezio and the Animus, by time travel through the mind and by a lore very worked that revolves around the creed of the assassins who, without realizing it, have been present in some way in all periods of human history.
But the franchise has also evolved, and a lot. Although the idea of the open world is present from the first title, its formula has been refined to such an extent that the success of Assassin's Creed It has inspired other franchises from Ubisoft itself, which have somehow embodied that same way of working. And if not, there you have the cases of Far Cry, Ghost Recon or the extraordinary Fenyx Rising Immortals end of 2020. Even Skull and Bones surely keep a lot of Assassin's Creed and its maritime leg that we saw for the first time in Assassin's Creed III.
All Assassin's Creed games
As we tell you, is one of the most prolific franchises in history and that in 2015 it decided to calm down a bit and space out its releases to offer a different formula: bigger and constantly expanding games with new content and paid DLC that avoid the saturation of having to release one a year. And although it was like that at the beginning, now we are in a completely different phase that, to be honest, has been especially applauded and supported by fans of the assassins' creed.
Don't you remember all the games that have come out? These are.
Assassin's Creed (2007)
The original, the first, that we have available in a thousand ways on consoles with HD and remastered versions. But the one that started it all you have for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and it takes us to the XNUMXth century, to the Holy Land, where we will have to stop the expansion of the Templars, the staunch enemies of the assassins. Here begins the adventure of Altaïr, who will be able to visit the cities of Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem in a truly unique gaming experience.
Assassin's Creed Altaïr Chronicles (2008)
As a result of the franchise's success, Nintendo DS had a game less than Assassin's Creed that served to satisfy the coffers of Ubisoft since it contributed very little to the lore of the franchise. In 2010 it arrived for mobile phones, iPhone, etc.
Assassin's Creed II (2009)
We travel to the Renaissance, by the hand of the already legendary Ezio Auditore Da Firenze And, as the name indicates, almost all the action takes place in the famous Italian city of Florence where the arts and humanities are taking over everything. Obviously, we will have to face the Templars of the time and their evil plans to seize all power. The success of this game already helped to consecrate the saga as one of the essentials in the world of video games with annual deliveries.
Assassin's Creed II Discovery (2009)
This game is a small expansion of what was seen in Assassin's Creed II that Ubisoft developed for Nintendo DS, iPhone and Android phones. It's basically a platformer embellished with a plot that respects what we had seen in the main game. If you don't play it, nothing happens either.
Assassin's Creed Bloodlines (2009)
This game came to PSP, the first laptop launched by Sony and once again uses Altaïr, the hero of Assassin's Creed, somewhat continuing the story seen in the first game from 2007.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)
for the first time Ubisoft repeated character and practically location of his game since Ezio Auditore repeats as the protagonist and we stay in the Renaissance era, fighting against the ominous power of the Borgia. This title was an even bigger success and raised the main character as the most relevant to date in the entire franchise (even today). That's how, at least, the fans remember him. In this game, in addition, the multiplayer mode arrives for the first time, which, as you know, has been (fortunately) very little relevant within the saga.
Assassin's Creed Rearmed (2011)
The saga adapts to iPhone and iPad screens to offer us a cooperative and competitive game where we have to hunt down the objectives that set us. Of course, the perspective becomes zenithal, like the first two GTA. Do you remember them?
Assassin's Creed Revelations (2011)
This is surely one of the best deliveries, argumentatively speaking, because we will know the link between the time in which Ezio lives and what we saw in the first game with Altaïr. In addition, we will travel to Constantinople in a recreation that was highly celebrated in its day for the immense extension of all the terrain through which we can move with our hero.
Assassin's Creed Recollection (2011)
How could it be otherwise, Ubisoft could not resist the fashion of card games that appeared on PC and decided to do the same with his franchise to bring it to the fledgling industry of video games for smartphones. On this occasion, we had this title available only for iPhone.
Assassin's Creed III (2012)
Key turning point in the saga for several reasons: we say goodbye to Ezio Auditore, we travel from Europe to XNUMXth century North America and, more specifically, to the times of the American War of Independence and, for the first time, we have contact with the part of navigation and ships that was so important in the franchise from that point on. All this makes this game one of the key moments of the saga. This time we get into the skin of Connor Kenway and we will start an interesting story where assassins and Templars mix in a sensational way that will enrich the lore of the entire series.
Assassin's Creed III Liberation (2012)
As a product of that Assassin's Creed III we have a separate episode starring Aveline de Grandpré and originally came for PS Vita Set in the 13 colonies that ended up becoming the USA. In 2014 it had an HD version that landed on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and later PS4 and Xbox One.
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag (2013)
After the experience of Assassin's Creed III With the first phases of ships and navigation, the fourth installment decided to give it its all by taking that new leg and introducing it constantly. ANDThis title is surely one of the most complete in the saga and the one that laid the foundations for everything that came later, with an extraordinary RPG leg that allowed us to control practically every detail of the game. Glorious naval battles and that of sailing the oceans to reach new islands and big cities like Havana to complete missions. Extraordinary!
Assassin's Creed Pirates (2013)
Proof of that fever for the seas, this one arrived Assassin's Creed Pirates for PC and mobile that reduces the action to naval combat and a supposed hidden treasure that we must find.
Assassin's Creed IV Freedom Cry (2014)
This freedom cry It was first released as a DLC for Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag but with the passage of time It ended up being released independently for PS3. Don't ask us why, but that's how it was. Weird right?
Assassin's Creed Unity (2014)
Ubisoft was delighted to bring the action to their city, to the Paris of the French Revolution with a spectacular recreation of the city of light, but as it was the first title to arrive for the new generation at the time (PS4 and Xbox One) it did so with a number of failures that have become authentic memes. Apart from that, time has placed it in its rightful place and it is among the favorites of some players who cannot escape the magnitude of its enormous setting.
Assassin's Creed Rogue (2014)
Ubisoft took pity on PS3 and Xbox 360 users and not to leave them without a Assassin's Creed that year, he devised this release that has a peculiarity that makes it tremendously special and that is that (eye SPOILER) It is the only one in the entire saga in which we control a Templar fighting the assassins. Yes, yes, you read it correctly. Later came HD versions for PC, PS4 and Xbox 360.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate (2015)
It must be recognized that this delivery is absolutely sublime. Leave the boats aside and put us on a train that runs through London itself Victorian where we can meet Jack the Ripper himself. A city for ourselves, countless missions to complete and a system of gangs that we had to recruit to gain control of the underworld. Without forgetting the Templars of course.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles (2016)
Among 2015 and 2016 Ubisoft released a series of Assassin's Creed smaller called Assassin's Creed Chronicles China, Assassin's Creed Chronicles India y Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia. Its development and plots are not canon (at the moment) and hide a very comic book narrative and an almost platform type of game.
Assassin's Creed Origins (2017)
From Assassin's Creed Syndicate Ubisoft decided to space out the releases of the titles of Assassin's Creed systematically and the result was that from then on they gave us the best deliveries ever seen. At least the longest and most content. This Origins It is a trip to ancient Egypt where the assassins' creed does not yet exist, but an embryo does exist that will be what we will see in its exciting story. We can't say that it's the best, but it is one of the best that has ever come to the franchise with a Discovery mode that is a visual (and playable) encyclopedia of one of the most exciting civilizations of all time.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey (2018)
After the success and momentum that the franchise took with Assassin's Creed Origins, Ubisoft takes us to Ancient Greece and the Peloponnesian wars with a game that practically replicates the same RPG elements of the previous title but that adds another feature that makes it unique: a territory conquest system that marks our evolution in history. Hundreds of hours of gameplay, additional content with DLC and season passes, and a conceptual perfection that elevates the saga to the top of the industry.
Assassin's Creed Rebellion (2018)
Game for mobile devices that changes the graphic aspect of the saga to infantilize it, but that returns to the events of Assassin's Creed II The Brotherhood although, on this occasion, narrating the battles that occurred in Spanish territory between members of the Assassins' Creed and the Templars.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla (2020)
At the moment it is the last of the franchise games, a monumental installment located in the XNUMXth century and that tells us the history of the Norwegian peoples who traveled to England to settle. An immense map, DLC and season passes that increase the main game by tens of hours and three years of validity that will make it the longest-lived of all those seen to date. A practically perfect game.
