Assassin’s Creed Timeline – Everything in Chronological Order
The chronological order of Assassin’s Creed has become increasingly complicated over the years. Assassin’s Creed has become a multimedia series that covers not only games, but also dozens of comics, books and movies.
What’s more, most of the stories are set in the past as well as in the present, making it sometimes difficult to follow even for the initiated. In this Assassin’s Creed Timeline you will therefore find all the comics, books, films & series, but of course we start with the games. The games are published in this order:

Most Assassin’s Creed stories have two timelines (one historical and one modern) and therefore appear twice in this overview. We start with all the historical periods and then put the modern story line in order.
