Assassin’s Creed Unity is set during the French Revolution, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is in Victorian era London, and the setting in Origins pre-dates the rest of the games, occurring in Ancient Egypt. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag portrays assassins on the high seas in an open world game that has a strong emphasis on sailing and naval combat. While fans can appreciate the narrative thread and central conflict that links all the games together, even as its focus fades into the background in more modern entries, the isolated stories present in each game can appeal to a new audience each time without alienating the existing one. Each game’s setting is a wild departure from its predecessors, with rare exception, and the games lean on these settings to give it their flavor.

The reason for this is in the game’s use of settings.

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has been around since 2007 and has always managed to feel modern despite a relatively consistent, iterative approach to its core gameplay.
