![]() Rounding out the series' most noteworthy entries are Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. The game's naval combat and exploration brought new life to the series' increasingly stale urban environments. The next major highlight in the franchise came from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, a pirate-themed adventure telling the redemption tale of Edward Kenway, an errant thief soon to be made an Assassin. Its follow-up, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, remains a satisfying sequel that refined much of what we loved about AC II while giving us new combat and exploration mechanics to engage with. ![]() This potential was eventually realized with Assassin's Creed II, which proved a remarkable improvement thanks to more varied design and a historical setting that stood out from other open-world games of the time. It all began with the first Assassin's Creed, a flawed game that showed great promise with its innovative climbing mechanics and sci-fi/historical drama narrative. Of course, not every Assassin's Creed game has met fan expectations, but the franchise is still packed with a ton of thrilling adventures that are well-worth experiencing and even revisiting today. ![]() In the years since the franchise's 2007 debut, we've received a wealth of fantastic games that have each managed to refine the series' classic open-world formula, while at times pushing it in exciting new directions. After the main series took a year off in 2019, we got the well-received and highly enjoyable Assassin's Creed Valhalla in 2020. In 2018, we got our hands on Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It's hard to believe, but Ubisoft has released 20 Assassin's Creed games in the span of a decade.
