The Assassin’s Creed Chronicles trilogy includes games set in India, China, and Russia. While all of them are separate stories, a distinct 2.5D perspective and stylistic aesthetic unifies them. The games were relatively well received by fans of the franchise at launch, and those interested in the franchise should give them a go if the chance arises- as it has now.

The latest entry in the long-running franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, has been a smash hit for Ubisoft, who have provided oodles of post-launch content for the game since its release, and will continue to add to it in 2022. Ubisoft aims to go the live-service route with the next entry, currently called Infinity, which will supposedly have multiple settings and semi-open world levels.

Ubisoft’s nifty 2.5D side-scrolling platformer Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles finally has a release date for its first “episode” set in China. It will be arriving on April 21st in North America and April 22nd in Europe. A trailer showing two more chronicles set in India and Russia and focusing on two more Assassins was also released which you can check out above.

The Assassins in question are in Shao Jun in China, 1526 following the collapse of the Ming Dynasty; Arbaaz Mir in India who is serving a strong cause during the Sikh Empire’s war in 1841; and Nikolaï Orelov in 1918 who is seeking redemption in the aftermath of the Red October revolution.

Each assassin has their own unique abilities and levels to conquer with the India and Russia episodes set to release in Fall. You can purchase them separately or through a Season Pass. The China chronicle is part of the Assassin’s Creed: Unity Season Pass so if you own that, you should be golden.
