Assassin’s Creed games in order: Chronological & release

Now that it’s close to 20 years since the original Assassin’s Creed was released, it’s getting easy to forget that the whole concept of the user diving into memories of the past was kept secret. Or, it was meant to until Kristen Bell spilled the beans weeks before the launch in an interview. Regardless, the series has gone on to become one of the biggest franchises in games, with a new installment coming out annually up until Origins broke the mold. For whatever reason, games can’t just stick to a basic, understandable numbering convention for long-running series. In the case of Assassin’s Creed, this makes it incredibly convoluted to track what games fit where in the timeline.
