The Assassin's Creedseries has a longstanding connection to medieval history. The very first game was set during the Third Crusade, and the setting would be revisited in Revelations. Unity, despite mostly being about the French Revolution, opened with the destruction of the Order of the Knights Templar in 1312. Valhalla invited players to explore early Medieval England as a Viking. Mirage introduced many Western players to the Abbasid Caliphate. And now Shadows takes players into Feudal Japan. There's no doubt that the Assassin's Creed series is a great choice for players who want an epic medieval adventure, especially one that leans more on history, as opposed to a more fantasy-oriented title like The Elder Scrolls or The Witcher. But what other options are there for fans who want something new?
