Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed is a highly successful multimedia franchise developed by Ubisoft, starting with the release of the first video game in 2007. The franchise is set in an open world and revolves around the centuries-old conflict between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The games are known for their immersive historical settings, intricate narratives, and innovative gameplay that combines action, adventure, stealth, and parkour. Over time, Assassin's Creed has expanded beyond video games into novels, comics, films, and TV series, making it one of the most influential and recognizable franchises in the gaming industry.
