Fifth video game in the main saga of the Assassin’s Creed series. It begins the Kenway saga and controls two characters. The second, who is the protagonist for much of the plot, is Ratohnhaké:tön, a Mohawk member of the fictional Order of Assassins, who assumes an important role in the events leading up to and accompanying the American War of Independence. Its settings focus especially on the cities of Boston and New York, although part of the rural territories of the Thirteen Colonies and bordering territories are included, where the plot unfolds while historical characters such as George Washington, Edward Braddock, Israel Putnam or Samuel Adams are met. It stands out for the richness of its setting and the interaction with the environment, although this is accompanied by important historical licences.

Third installment in the Assassin’s Creed series. It continues the plot of the previous title, as well as sharing the same graphics engine, design and gameplay. The plot is set in the Italian cities of Monteriggioni and, especially, Rome, although there are missions in other Italian locations and in the city of Viana, in the Kingdom of Navarre. It is set in the first decades of the 16th century, specifically at the end of the papacy of Alexander VI. Despite its historical licences, it stands out for the richness of its setting, the meticulous recreation of the cities and the interaction with the environment and characters such as Rodrigo Borgia, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia, Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli, etc.

Fourth installment in the Assassin’s Creed series. It continues the plot of the previous title, closing the story of Ezio Auditore. It shares the same graphics engine, design and gameplay as its predecessor -although the use of a grappling hook is implemented to improve mobility through the scenarios-. The plot shifts to the East, specifically to a Constantinople newly christened Istanbul after the Ottoman conquest, although there are missions set in the underground city of Derinkuyu in Cappadocia, Masyaf in modern-day Syria, and locations in the Orontes Valley. It is significantly less historically accurate than its predecessor titles, but is notable for its rich setting, detailed recreation of cities and interaction with the environment and other characters.

The seventh video game in the main saga of the Assassin’s Creed series, bringing the Kengway saga to a close. In it, you control Shay Patrick Cormac, a former member of the fictional Assassin’s Order who joins a fictional Templar Order, an enemy of the first, during the Seven Years’ War. The gameplay retains the strong maritime component of the previous title, this time set in different parts of the North Atlantic, although other locations such as parts of New York, Paris and Lisbon appear. Despite the high degree of historical reinterpretation, it stands out for the richness of its setting and the interaction with the environment and the appearance of historical characters such as Lawrence Washington, George Monro and James Cook.

Eighth video game in the main saga of the Assassin’s Creed series. It represents a major advance in mechanics and gameplay, as well as in setting, thanks to a new graphics engine, which allows you to recreate densely populated urban spaces and intense activity in the Paris of the French Revolution. In the game, you control Arno Dorian, a member of the fictional Order of Assassins, who plays an important role in the shadows during the major events of Revolutionary Paris, including the formation of the National Assembly, the execution of Louis XVI, the period of the Terror and the fall of Robespierre. More historically accurate than its immediate predecessors, it also features historical figures such as Maximilien Robespierre, the Marquis de Sade and Napoleon Bonaparte, among many others.
