Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed is a historical action-adventure game that introduces players to the age‑old conflict between the Assassins, who fight for freedom, and the Templars, who seek control. Framed through the story of Desmond Miles in the modern day, the game uses the Animus device to let players relive the genetic memories of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, a master Assassin operating during the Third Crusade in 1191. Stealth, parkour-style movement, and social blending are at the heart of the gameplay, letting you scale towering structures, eavesdrop on targets, and disappear into bustling city crowds. Set across richly detailed cities like Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus, Assassin's Creed blends open-world exploration with targeted assassinations and investigation missions. Its distinctive “social stealth” systems encourage you to observe routines, gather intel, and strike at the opportune moment, then vanish before enemies can react. With its mix of historical fiction, sci‑fi framing, and a focus on freeform objectives, the game laid the foundation for one of Ubisoft’s most influential franchises.
