Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series has been a tent pole in the AAA stealth-action genre since its inception in 2008. Throughout the course of over a decade and just as many main titles and multiple spin-offs, Assassin's Creed has continued to be a successful juggernaut franchise, although perhaps sometimes at the risk of oversaturation and fan fatigue. Nevertheless, AC iterated and expanded on its lore, characters, and gameplay, usually adding in options and items to make its loops more engaging and keep players on their toes.
