Assassin’s Creedis a mixed bag of quality — at its best, the series has defined genre tropes, and at its worst, it’s given us plenty to laugh at. But, one thing that it’s done consistently well is providing a balanced, if not nuanced, story that defies generational boundaries. It could’ve been a series that was strictly limited to the past, or it could’ve been a series set entirely in the distant future. But it decided to be both.
In any case, there are so many games in theAssassin’s Creedfranchise that it must be a veritable nightmare for newcomers to figure out where to start and in what order to proceed. Especially since the team at Ubisoft ceased the usage of numbers in titles afterAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
Let’s take a look at both the release and chronological order of theAssassin’s Creedseries. It should be noted that we’re only counting the games — if you’re looking for a timeline that includes any other media such as comics or the like, you’re in the wrong place.

The answer isValhalla, without a doubt, considering the main character ofMirage, Basim, maintains a presence throughoutValhalla’s story. But, you could also take a trip down memory lane and playAssassin’s Creed(2007) orAssassin’s Creed: Revelations, considering both of those, likeMirage, are set in Middle Eastern environments.
