Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series and its history-hopping alternate timelines exploring the secret history behind humanity's evolution via the Templars and Assassins, and their struggles against each other, has captured the attention of many fans through the years. The franchise has built an impressive library of over a dozen main installments and related titles. In 2017, Assassin's Creed Origins kicked off the start of AC's phase of incorporating more RPG and other aspects from genres that were not previously present in it, in addition to setting the stage for a large cast of characters and even deeper lore.
