Three New Assassins Are Coming With Assassin’s Creed Chronicles

Assassin's Creed Chronicles

Ubisoft has announced Assassin’s Creed Chronicles is coming late in April and will bring three new stories to the franchise

For those looking for the next annual Assassin’s Creed title you still may be waiting but at least we have Assassin’s Creed Chronicles now to tide us over. Oh, you haven’t heard yet. Ubisoft has had Climax Studios working on a 2.5D iteration for the franchise coming to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC starting on April 21^st. Well at least the first part of the game and possible story with Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China. There will be two more titles to go along with this Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia each with their own assassin and story that I am going to guess will be interwoven into one big story for all three to share.

From the looks of things here it looks like Assassin’s Creed Chronicles is taking a very early version of Prince Of Persia aspect when it comes to the core gameplay. Don’t you worry fans of Assassin’s Creed though; the core stealth, scouting, and killing will be part of the game here just in a different dimension. You know because Assassin’s Creed Chronicles is going to be a 2.5 D title and not a fully 3D that we have grown mostly accustomed to over the entire franchise to date. At least it will all be on the next gen systems only and release like one of those episodic adventures that keep us wondering when the next update will finally come.

Here’s a break down for each of the new titles for the Assassin’s Creed Chronicles adventure. Now we just need to hope we are not talking months between each new story.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China takes place in China, 1526, as the Ming dynasty starts to crumble. You embody Shao Jun, the last remaining Assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood, returning to her homeland with a vendetta. Newly trained by the legendary Ezio Auditore, she is hell-bent on exacting vengeance and restoring her fallen Brotherhood.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India throws you into the tension between the Sikh Empire and the East India Company in 1841. When a Master Templar arrives with a mysterious item that used to belong to the Assassin Order, Arbaaz Mir must discover why he’s come, steal back the item, and protect his friends and his lover.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia occurs in Russia, 1918. Nikolai Orelov wants to leave with his family, but is required to perform one last mission for the Assassin Order: infiltrate the house where the tsar’s family is being held by the Bolsheviks and steal an artifact that has been fought over by Assassins and Templars for centuries. Along the way, he witnesses the massacre of the tsar’s children, but manages to save the princess, Anastasia. He must escape the Templars while protecting the artifact and Anastasia.

It may be sad to say, as I am sure it will be the last to be released, but I think out of all of the Assassin’s Creed Chronicles titles here I am more excited to get the story out of Russia. Mainly because I think it is the most interesting of the group being given out as the others feel like they have been done time and time again even thought that isn’t the full case. It’ll just be interesting and fun to play in Russia than the usual tried and true. I could also be way off but I guess we’ll all have to wait and see when Assassin’s Creed Chronicles finally launches and we start getting the flow of new story for the franchise.

Does Assassin’s Creed Chronicles pique your interest here? Which sounds like it will be the most fun to play through and hopefully enjoy. Let us all know down in the comments below.
