The Best Assassin’s Creed Games, Ranked By Story

Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles

Altair’s Chronicles acts as a prequel to the original Assassin’s Creed. It accomplishes this by setting up a storyline that it does not even mention, let alone continue, in the main game. Not only this, but the story of Altair’s Chronicles does absolutely nothing to move the greater story of the franchise forward, and completely ignores the whole present-day aspect. Granted, some fans think the present-day aspect should be forgotten about altogether, but nonetheless, it’s pretty important in the wider scheme of things. Assassin’s Creed introduces us to Altair as a former master assassin who has fallen from grace, meaning that as a prequel, Altair’s Chronicles should cement Altair as a true bonafide badass.

Well, it didn’t.
