Assassin’s Creed Shadows was announced this week with an electrifying cinematic trailer, revealing new information about the game, including its protagonists, combat mechanics, stealth, and open world. Additionally, fans noticed the return of some elements from older games.
In the trailer, Naoe, one of the protagonists and the fictional daughter of historical figure Fujibayashi Nagato, performed a classic attack move from early Assassin’s Creed games. Fans observed that she wasn’t using a regular hidden blade, but a pivot blade, granting her greater mobility in attacks against her foes. However, this isn’t the first time that this weapon appeared in the franchise.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Hidden Blade Was Previously Used by Connor The Pivot Blade received a few seconds of spotlight in the Assassin’s Creed Shadows trailer
The first appearance of the Pivot Blade in the Ubisoft franchise occurred over 20 years ago when Assassin’s Creed 3 was released.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been in a ton of controversies since its announcement. While locking quests behind a day-one-season pass bundle worth $109.99 was one of them, there’s another problem that has taken priority in almost all the discourse surrounding the title.
The existence of the samurai Yasuke in the game, one of the two protagonists of the game that you can play as, has rubbed many the wrong way, being that he is a man of African origin. While it might seem like a forced connection out of context, history says otherwise.
Was Yasuke from Assassin’s Creed Shadows a Samurai in Real Life?
Someone has to end the Assassin’s Creed Shadows debate around this character
The Yasuke from Shadows is based on a real-life figure in history. What we do know about him is that he was likely a slave but was a free man when...

Assassin’s Creed has been an integral part of gaming history, with a long run filled with games that range from the greatest of all times to some of the most mediocre out there. It’s like fast food—sometimes you get the tastiest stuff you’ve ever tasted, and other times you end up contracting diarrhea.
Whichever side of discourse one may lie on, it’s difficult to deny the excitement and anticipation another entry in this series generates. With the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows, though, some are questioning whether today’s games in the series can even be called Assassin’s Creed or not.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Latest Leak Has Left Many Excited and a Few Understandably Unhappy Fans have long wondered whether Assassin’s Creed even has an identity at this point.
Assassin’s Creed has evolved since the days of Altair and Ezio, diverging quite a bit from its origins in the process.

Not Like Us is making all the way up on Billboard as it continues to outpace its competition as the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar escalates. It is likely that Lamar’s diss track will make it to the top, the only problem remains: which one? Writers of the popular American entertainment magazine have the same question.
The diss track aimed at the Canadian rapper also shattered one of the records on Spotify. The song dethroned Girls Wants Girls, which had the most hip-hop song streams in a single day. As of now, the track holds over 28 million views on video sharing platform YouTube.
Kendrick Lamar is Taking on the Mantle of One Fine Fighter
Kendrick Lamar stepped up as Kung Lao in the new mod.
The beef between the two rappers is well publicized at this point, but there’s seemingly always a new angle and a new reason behind another diss track.

Earlier today, the developers behind Assassin’s Creed Mirage conducted an Ama (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit and hinted at the possibility of Basim’s story being extended.
Creative Director Stephane Boudon and Art Director Jean-Luc Sala answered only a handful questions, one of which was,
“Did you ever think about making a Dlc/new storyline contents for the game, considering how well it was received by the community?”
Just last year, Stephane had confirmed that Mirage would be a standalone game and wouldn’t receive any story expansions. In the Ama today, Stephane reiterated,
“We’re thrill by the reception of Mirage! Mirage as been design as a standalone experience without any Dlc plan. However, we have ideas on how we could extend the story of Basim, surely.”
Since the developers have refuted the possibility of a Mirage Dlc twice now, this new statement could mean that Basim...

God of War is definitely an iconic franchise; there’s never been a doubt about it. From the very first game on PlayStation 2 back in 2005 to God of War: Ragnarok, these games have been pretty excellent. In fact, no matter how they change over time, the developers have made sure these games remain as fun to play as the fans want them to be.
There’s no doubt about the fact that these games have indeed changed; from a distant third-person camera to over-the-shoulder, developers have brought about a major shift. But no matter how games change, fans like to be reminded of the old times in a good way. That’s what God of War: Ragnarok did.

Ubisoft is currently hard at work on multiple Assassin’s Creed titles. Two of them have already been confirmed; one is Codename Red, which is apparently set in Japan. The other more prominent one is Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe, which is set in central Europe. It would supposedly be set during the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire.
It would entail a story that would be crossed over with the mass hysteria during which around 80,000 people were unjustly executed for the crime of witchcraft. There’s no hint as to what the game’s protagonist would look like or who that would be. Fans are guessing that it would probably be a witch. Now a leak suggests that this game would be a scary experience for anyone who dares to play it.

When Assassin’s Creed: Origins was released at the tail-end of October 2017, it came during a moment of transition and epiphany for the long-running video game franchise. After being launched a decade earlier, almost to the day, there had been a new Assassin’s Creed title virtually every year from the game publisher Ubisoft. Until 2016. Due to spending so many years returning to the same formula, Assassin’s Creed developers realized they needed time off; they needed to regroup and reimagine; they needed bold change in what their vision of the future could be.
Abubakar Salim could relate. Fresh out of a classical education at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Salim did not necessarily anticipate discovering a career in video game voice acting and motion-capture, yet his casting in the central role of Assassin’s Creed: Origins as Bayek of Siwa had a life-altering effect.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed is one of the most popular franchises, and fans often discuss which of the games are the best. This is hard as several titles have impressed players for various reasons. One main reason players like the game are the protagonists; and Ezio Auditore tops that chart.
Ezio is the most known Master Assassin in the series, and probably the games wouldn’t have been this successful if not for the protagonist. The recent appearance by Ezio Auditore in a new release has fans confused, especially about his outfit, which many don’t recognize.

There’s a little bit of something for everyone in the Assassin’s Creed series. No franchise has so effectively blended stealth and action, while also occasionally throwing in completely random new twists like naval battles and multiplayer so well for so long. And all of this is in the context of a story that takes place across thousands of years and multiple, very different time periods.
But which Assassin’s Creed games rank among the best of the best? While no title in the main series is considered to be especially bad, there’s certainly a significant difference in quality among the 13 mainline games released so far. As the series looks to return to its roots with the new Assassin’s Creed Mirage, we thought we would first look back at the rest of the series and rank the mainline Assassin’s Creed games from worst to best.
