The History of Assassin's Creed (2006-2023) | Documentary

A feature-length documentary chronicling the entire history of the Assassin's Creed franchise.
Historically, Nizari Ismailis, the much-feared hashashins known to modernity as assassins, constituted a Shia Islam sect that employed political murder as a chief means of dismantling their political and religious enemies. The 11th Century Muslim missionary Hassan-i-Sabbah founded the religio-political movement in support of Nizār, the Fatimid Caliph heir-designate who led an ineffective revolt following the denial of his succession. Interestingly, details about this Order of Assassins relayed in Arkon Daraul’s A History of Secret Societies, as well as development on a sequel to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, inspired Patrice Désilets to spearhead the creation of Ubisoft’s multimillion dollar Assassin’s Creed property.
But what started as an experiment of swapping out a Prince for an action-oriented hero quickly morphed into a sandbox adventure built to accommodate player freedom. The advent of the second Assassin’s Creed in 2009 saw this simplicity slowly begin to fade, as the scale of the narrative and open-world structure expanded considerably. Such growth never slowed either, with each mainline installment proving more ambitious than the last by hopping between time periods and protagonists, establishing larger worlds, and introducing role-playing mechanics that once seemed foreign to the core pillars of the franchise.
Thus, fans have found themselves caught in the middle of an Ancient Greek conspiracy, traversing the sweltering sands of Ancient Egypt, navigating the squalor of Victorian London, and nearly everything else in between. And it’s been nothing short of a bumpy road, replete with missteps and triumphs. Given the brand’s storied past, then, its future could give way to an infinite number of possibilities.
This is the history of Assassin’s Creed.

It's ironic that Assassin's Creed was born because of the narrative limitations of Prince of Persia, considering that nowadays AC has little to do with Assassins and even less with their Creeds. Goes to show the massive gap in creative integrity between old and current Ubisoft.
in my PERSONAL opinion, i loved every single AC game up until they went full on RPG. and ik a lot of fans seem to like Origins but it’s just not the style of an AC game that i fell in love with back in 2007
this is literal just entirely top tier production quality. the amount of research and effort put in is amazing. if i could watch these all day i would. about to start from the beginning again
Is anyone else sad that the new RPG focused AC games are barely AC games? I feel like they should just be their own things.
From robe wearing action adventure ancient city parkouring and end of the world conspiracies to microtransaction riddled bloatware. What a shame.
Unity wasn't perfect, but was very cool and has that unique assassin's creed atmosphere. It was the last real AC
Oh this gonna be good
In 2008 I knew my christmas present was going to be Assassin's Creed. So when my mom the day before christmas left home, I found my present opened it and took the disc out and swapped it for another game. Played it the whole night on christmas eve. Good times
I feel this franchise has greatly overstayed it's welcome. Patrice had a beginning, middle and ending for the series, but the end never came. After AC3 it just kept going, with every new entry further diluting the core concepts that made AC what it was and excuses to call what's essentially a completely different game "Assassin's Creed".
Brace yourself for comments "the game is not what it used to be - why it has moved in a completely different direction" followed by "all the games in the series are completely the same".
God 2007 is still a GOD-TIER year in video gaming. I still think it's the greatest year of releases of all time!
"To say that nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our civilization.
Ezio’s family theme will never ever get old.

This channel is so far above every other channel in terms of quality, production value, narration, and entertaining/interesting topics that I can't believe it's not a series on television or a paid streaming service like Netflix or Hulu. My only wish would be more frequent smaller releases in between larger ones like this. Keep up the great work👍🏽
Another home run GVMERS!!!
Man, y'all got right fancy with your editing in this one.
Thank you guys for all of the hard work you put into these videos.
I remember watching the trailer for AC 2 a few days after finishing the first game, ever since, I've been through each game to 100%, I saw all the controversy, peaks and valleys this franchise had, and despite losing it's original identity I still enjoy the titles for their historic rich environments.
