Most Iconic line in the whole series *Requiescat in Pace*
Wait…after all these years of wondering when they’d bring Juno back…you’re telling me she died ….in a comic book. Like, 10 games of build up and the main villain dies OFF SCREEN. Classic Ubisoft
The main villain dies in modern age, Ubisoft themselves said creating an AC game in modern age will be next to impossible, so I guess that could be the reason. Secondly, AC games are built on historical moments. So creating this game wouldnt make sense.
@@ryoshitv6652Their point being that, there was no point in building her up **in the game** if she was going to be killed off **somewhere else**. Expecting a major plot point to be finished up in side content is pretty pathetic
Around that time Ubisoft was planning to restructure the games with a new RPG-oriented gameplay, and decided to pretty much start from scratch with the modern day plot. Juno being killed off in a comic is them quietly ending that storyline so they have a clean slate for the next game, making Origins a "soft reboot" of the series
@@NachotoSoft reboot? More like shart pee-toot, am I right fellas?
The cult of Kosmos and the Order of ancients were two different organisations. Kassandra eradicated the cult in base game and some of Order members during first blade DLC.
Yeah, the proto-templars were pretty easy to dispatch.
They were essentially the first Templars tho. We hear in Unity that the Templars have been around for centuries and taken many forms so the Cult and Order are technically Templars
@@ItsAustonian cult and order existed together in the same period. They were in a sort of strife when the order landed on Greece soil in search of Darius and Kassandra. So I'm pretty sure they were two different evil organisations with different origin and history but with relatively the same aim. Only one of them was finished before it could spread much outside.
@@ac_nerd9794bro acting like it’s easier to dispatch AC Odyssey enemies than it is to click one button to parry and kill the most powerful people in the original games
@@haydenheiserman It's not that difficult to kill any enemies in Odyssey. If anything, people exaggerate how many hits it takes. The older games were just easy.
You forgot that Edward got murdered and Jennifer was taken and spent years as a prisoner. Haytham would get raise by a Templar and wouldn’t find out about his connection to his father years later. He would save Jennifer and together killed their father’s killer
So that’s why he’s such a bastard
Who killed Edward
@@ThemVenueBoyz Mercenaries sent by Templar Grand Master Reginald Birch. After the fight Jennifer got kidnapped and Haytham raise by Birch. The siblings get their revenge on Birch years later and I remember Haytham wanted to kill the mercenary who stab Edward he had a weird shape ear. I think it’s in the assassin creed 3 book
The timeline wasn't even that complicated until Odyssey and Valhalla confused new fans with their "Mythology".
Origins might not have as much mythology but it ruined the origin of the brotherhood.
For me personally i think just Valhalla confused things with it’s mythology. Especially the realms it interprets
@@lukemcbean Valhalla atleast tries to explain its mythology as Eivor's interpretation of actual Isu events but Odyssey just shits on pre established AC lore and does not even tried to justify a lot of mythological elements.
@@Ishpreetb264Odyssey at least tied its mythology to the Isu and Eivor's interpretation basically gave us playable Odin warrior.
@@lukemcbean Nah I'd definitely give a good amount of blame to Odyssey for confusing new fans and causing so much confusion in the community, I mean the amount of times people call Kassandra a demigod despite God's technically not existing in AC is insane. Plus Odyssey also just ruined a lot of lore from previous games too.
Assassin's creed franchise has one of the best story and lores in all of gaming. Love em or hate em because of the gameplay, you cant deny them for their story and lore as well as how these are organically weaven with real history.
everything after Black flag is mid
Thank you, someone actually have a correct comment about the history. I hate this bandwagon; where when one person hates the new games, all because they fell off the timeline. Everyone other chode out there has to do the same thing.
@@DjayTheAmazingYTand I think Black flag is the worst one. That's why we all have an opinion. I think Brotherhood will always be the best 🤝
Gotta love story's theat stretch thin over decades. Definitely best in gaming.
You joking right? This whole isu bs is garbage, it would have been much better to stay closer to reality.
Altair: “Silent and Deadly.”
Ezio: “Silent as possible, Fight if necessary.”
Connor: “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Edward: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Arno: “Sneaky sneak.”
Basim: “From Aladdin to Assassin.”
And the frye twins? Bayek?
@@sinisterdjedialive3746
Evie: “Going by the books.”
Jacob: “Lets have some fun!”
Bayek: “Sneaking is temporary, fighting is necessary.”
@@BlazerK1914 👌🏼
@@BlazerK1914 I wasn't gonna ask, but after bayeks, let's have one for eivor is ur still around for it :)
(They're so good and accurate imo)
Replace connor's scream with "charles lee " then it's accurate
One of the best explanations I seen and heard.
Micheal Collins as an assassin in the Irish war of independence.. has a nice ring to it.
I’ve seen a few videos explaining the AC story, but this one is the best, most easy to understand synopsis by far… very entertaining too!
Big thanks for making this!
I can't believe they killed Juno *in a fucking comic* 🤨
I never realized until seeing it all laid out before me like this how much the writers were clearly influenced by Zecharia Sitchen's "Anunnaki Chronicles"! I don't subscribe to them, myself, as legitimate history, but I do find them extremely well-suited to inspire creative fiction, just as the AC creators have done here, I think. Idk, can anyone confirm my suspicions on this one as to whether there's a connection?
Yes, the only difference is that in AC the ISU are not supposed to be aliens, apart from that is pretty much the anunnaki story
@@raulbalarezos Oh, okay. Cool. Thanks!
@@raulbalarezos Thats not entirely true. All we know about the Isu is that they were here before us. Nothing in the lore states they are earthlings.
@@raulbalarezos They are aliens.
Now hold on a minute the cult of cosmos ain't the order of ancients they both had beef with each other Bec some alliance rules broken
They never should have killed Desmond. They should have kept the modern day story going. Or at least introduced a new protagonist they wouldn’t abandon in the next game like they keep doing. Like Layla they introduce in Origins teasing they may do something with the character, then nothing and she just dies in a cutscene. So lame
They can use his son now
Modern day story isn't the reason most people play these games.
@@thelastpersononearth9765 No they play it for the name, kinda like call of duty, or mario, it just had to had the AC name and people is going to play it no matter the plot it had
@@Saddonghussein I play them for the world and history. But yeah AC title is a plus reason too.
@@thelastpersononearth9765 that's why even though the last games aren't a at all they are still selling like candies
That was very well explained !! Great job :)
Thanks for the complex explanation of the timeline. It's strange that they chose to finish off Juno, such an important character in the seeies, off screen. 😐
8:27 I tapped out. I just enjoyed the online activities leading up to the end of assassin's creed 3 and finishing Desmonds story (with an ending I hated, and 30 minutes of credits).....
This was a very good video! Loved it, although its missing a few things: like someone has pointed out, it wasn't mentioned how Edward was killed by a close friend of his who was a Templar and took Haytham under his wing (that's how he became a Templar) and Jennifer was kidnapped. Haytham eventually found her and he learned it was the Templars who killed his father and kidnap his sister. Elisè meets Jennifer after François de la Serre is killed and Jennifer gives her a Templar cross and tells Elisè she thinks the Assassin/Templar conflict it's very stupid and even Haytham thought that at one point, because there was a moment where both factions wanted similar things. Also, I believe they mention in AC2 that the Assassins helped Elizabeth I to ascend to her throne. And there's a good chunk of history missing from the 1980 and how the animus was created, there's info on the first subjects on AC4 and/or Rogue (in the parts were you're an Abstergo employee), how Vidic took over the animus project and more. And the last thing I remember that is not here is that Desmond has a son who is also a sage, aka Aita. He's in the comics as well, several things from the comics are missing here.
Kjotve didn't find Apple of Eden, it was Crystal Ball, precisely the same that Connor was using in AC III, because Eivor left the Ball for the natives to guard it
Its really not THAT complicated, as long ad its explained well
Outstanding narration jus outstanding ✌🏼💥
Been waiting for this 😂
Just so you know Kassandra wasn't known to any of the future assassins as she wasn't part of the Creed and Darius wasn't an assassin either and The Order of The Ancients isn't linked to the cult because the order already existed along side the cult as shown in the Legacy of The first Blade DLC for Odyssey.
Darius is an assassin he’s even in the tomb in ac2
@@praisethelordpig1212 No he was only in the sanctuary because he was the first one to use the wrist blade, not because he was an assassin because he didn't have any ties to the creed or it's origins that's like saying that Eivor was a Templar because they helped Aelfred usher in the Templar Order.
I don’t get it then, what’s Origins for if assassins were already there?
@@jacobguerrero2825 Well that's the point of Origins because Bayek and Aya were the only two to set an example for future assassins because they wouldn't have known about Kassandra or Darius because they had no active part in creating the Creed or creating any ideas for the Creed to expand upon and whilst Bayek uses Darius' blade it doesn't make Darius an assassin because Bayek used it as a tool for his Creed and then it became a symbol of the Creed because it's their iconic tool.
Not complicated at all, but I've learned more world history within these games that I ever did in school. The lore the history, the non-fiction meeting the fiction. I love these games and this is how I travel the world
BEST BEST BEST! BEST EXPLANATION VIDEO FOR AC EVERY MADE!!!
Im not expecting it but hopefully mirage has more modern day lore too, if not jade, hexe and whatever the others were called do, also i would have added the assassin's Creed plot in the watchdogs legion dlc
Mirage has no modern day story disappointed. I suppose red will have some of it but if they want to do that like they did in last 3 games they shpuld abandon it completely.
9:20 It's Grom Kjotvesson, who Eivor hunts for in Vinland and gets the apple from. Eivor Killed Kjotve in Norway
I‘m not sure, but isn‘t the burning of Jacques de Molay in 1307 missing?
still miffed we haven't gotten a remake of the first Assassin's Creed, they could do a ground up remake and attach bloodlines to it.
Honestly assassins creed mirage is looking like what ac1 could've been
Lydia frye deserves her own game
bummed out that you missed the medieval ages of france where thomas de carneillon was operating, thomas was the person behind the downfall of jacque de molay, the last grandmasters of the knights templar and a sage.
Connors village was burned down by George washington not charles lee
Nice
You also forgot about the Persecution of the Templars in 1307 to 1314 by order of the King Philip the 4th at the start of unity
Anyone else ignore the convoluted timeline and just get work stabbin’ fools?
Saying that Basim recognize Sigurd as Tyr and that "he met Eivor VarinsDOTTIR" and then put male Eivor, who has the exact same face and voice as Havi, was a very strange choice (you know, because woman Eivor is the canon character and that's why Loki doesn't identifie her as Havi...).
Anyway, the rest of the video is very good, thanks for the recap ^^ (I have to admit I forgot the movie existed 😅)
Funny thing is it's even more complicated once you realize Farcry (at least 1-5 and most of the spinoffs) take place in the Assassin's Creed world. Same with Watch Dogs.
And also possibly same with the Tom Clancy games tho that's a whole can of worms in and of itself
there's some incorrect information here
first, The Cult of Kosmos and the Order of the Ancients are two different groups entirely
second, Napoleon didn't get the apple from the Dead Kings DLC, he got one during the main game story quest where you meet Napoleon for the first time
Ngl why did they use the isu storyline.....That should be for an entirely different game, assasins creed should just be the assasins order against the templars fighting in the shadows and stuff
i agree no one really cares about the ISu shit just make the story about plain old assassins against the templars ffs
@@Sr-gv9xi yeah only explanation I can find is because they needed op items to give to the templars to make them stronger in the final battle...but even that is stupif
Correction regarding Haytham:
Edward never raised Haytham to be an Assassin. He taught Haytham critical thinking skills and Haytham didnt find out about Templars and Assassins well after his father's death.
Bit nitpicking but it was Kjotves son Gorm who had the apple of Eden in the Vinland.
I think kassandra did visit altair and ezio later in their lives and kept her existence a secret beacuse ofc shes immortal, and she would be the key to helping layla in the future.
18:42 Hmmmmmm, cutting ALOT there abut haytham
And it sad how much they cut in the present storyline and put it in comic/books
You forget
Am i the only one to make the connection between loki's plan and the next modern day disaster being ragnarok 🤔
Bayek and Aya actually were the first of the Hidden Ones, afterward came Basim, and then Eivor, and then Kassandra and Alexios came after.
Basim is actually one of the bosses you fight in AC Valhalla, and he also shares the middle name "Ibn" with Altair.
Kassandra & Alexios were before Bayek and Aya I believe. However they were not assassins, they were warriors. Odyssey is set before Origins, so the Hidden Ones did not exist yet in Odyssey. Also, in Odyssey, we find out that Darius is the creator of the hidden blade. In Origins it’s said that the hidden blade is passed down from their ancestors… starting with Darius from Odyssey. Making Darius the first assassin to kill with the hidden blade.
@@lithiumwaves No, Bayek and Aya FOUNDED the Hidden Ones all the way back in Egypt times, which was before the Greeks, and THEN came along the Nords and THEN the Greeks.
@@DanielQualls-7777You are wrong.
You are wrong. "Ibn" is not a surname, it literally means "Son" or "Son of". Pretty much every arab man had "Ibn" plus the name of their father. ( Fun fact : Altaïr " Ibn La Ahad " means " Son of No One")
I didn't think it was too confusing tbh
It seems from the very beginning the Templars always create something to stop them, being their predecessors the order of the Ancients basically created their Nemesis predecessors the hidden ones, show me to be a true Templar you have to make an assassin, basically Ezio, Connor, Arno etc.
Stopped playing when they killed Desmond off and ruined the modern day timeline. They built up this whole end of the world thing then just stopped.
You’re missing out😂😂😂
@@maswaggeromg so tru
No he is not. He chose the right path lol
I keep playing for the gameplay style and love of history, when I’m in the mood for it, but I agree, the modern day story got throttled and I’m just bitter Desmond died for no payoff 🥲
If you did stop at 3 you missed a couple good ones ngl
So one of the main things I learned from this was the kenway family was all over the place with their allegiances
Ginna have to watch this about 5 times to understand fully what happened
They went overboard with the mythical shit and now a lot of people can't even comprehend the story anymore, they should've stick with the historical aspects of it and just made a game about ww2 or something
The American saga of Assassin's creed is probably the best AC story of all time in my opinion.
You forgot the watch dogs legion dlc portion👀
MojoPlays has probably done some of the most extensive research on the AC franchise outside of anybody who's hired by Ubi to keep the narrative flowing together but yet couldnt find the intel bout Birch's killing of Edward Kenway being the reason that Haytham, as a child, was forced into the Templar Order in the first place. How odd...
me who stopped playing after brotherhood : 😦
The Cult of Cosmos and Order of Ancients are completely disconnected, the cult of cosmos is just some random cult.
Both predate the templars and do the same thing.
@@ac_nerd9794 Okay. The Cult still aren't the proto Templars though.
@@obsidianwarrior5580 They somewhat are. We know that the Order of Ancients are the order that actually turned into the Templars but the Cult of Kosmos served the same purpose.
@@ac_nerd9794 No they do not. Because the Cult of Cosmos do not turn into the Templars.
@@obsidianwarrior5580 They literally do. The Cult want to control the Greek world. It's the same thing the Order of Ancients want and the Templars. In a world where the Templars don't exist, both the Cult and Order are the Templars.
Im lost bc why are they going so far back now ? What happens when they catch up to AC1 ?
That was not what happened to Haytham. Edward was killed by a Templar who took in haytham training him as a Templar, eventually his sister came back and together they killed that Templar, but Haytham still believed in the Templar goal
Edit: where did you get your info? I'm pretty sure it was Desmonds son that killed Juno and brought down the instruments of the first will.
I feel like Achilles was did wrong by Ubisoft. I think there could have been small origin story him
Glad you mentioned the Hell in Hibernia "mission" from AC Unity. For those who dont know you had a mission to play as another Assassin with an online service, i dont recall who he was but you can look up a video on it. There was other memories you couldn't play but majority of them were just the other ac games at the time. But another was Hell in Hibernia about an Irish Assassin. As an Irishman myself i wish we could someday get an ac game set in 1916 and beyond where you go around and liberate Ireland as the IRA Assassins from the English Templars.(for those of you that just think the IRA was always a terrorist organisation it wasnt, originally it was founded to free Ireland from oppression. Later on it split into various organisations(about 20 different organisations in its lifetime which is currently very strayed from its original purpose.) As for the original Irish Republican Army it's historically renamed to the IRB, Irish Republican Battalion. while the cause for the bombings in the 70s are by all means the fault of the English for going back on their agreement that their control of our 6 counties was temporary.)
Although an IRA game would probably never be made due to the brainwashing of society because most people dont realise that the IRA were heroes and that the 70s were an entirely different organisation as i mentioned above, it would be a nice game to have, maybe actually let some people know the truth about history that just like Templars and Assassins, not all Assassins are good and not all Templars are bad(as you can also see in AC Rogue where you play as a hero Templar killing bad Assassins)
So is this everything the Animus users did in chronological order instead of when they happened in the games?
Haytham was not disillusioned by the Assassins but was brainwashed/ lived a lie by templars since a boy when Edward was murdered and he was raised as a Templar. He didn’t know better.
Change the esu with anunarki
They're should've been a few less AC: Comics and more AC: Games that helped explain certain things.
Watched the whole video and still I didn't understand anything!
That's Ubisoft for you.
Im thinking about playing all the AC games but i also just wanna play the ones that are either Assassins focused or actually about the Assassins creed
Ezio trilogy is the path son
@@TheNissanddyeah if that shit gets a remaster on ps5 the graphics are terrible 😂
@@gregordrizzlewing7339 so you play games because of graphics what was u expecting from a 2009 ps3 game fam? Ps5 graphics??? 🤦🏽♂️
@@TheNissandd yeah I do what’s the problem with that? As I said if it got remastered in ps5 I would be first in line to get it.
@@gregordrizzlewing7339 ok maybe i misunderstood because the way you said it. You basically called it trash because of graphics and this game from 2009 looks preety good still for a ps3 era im playing it right now means i know what im saying.but you also have a point seeing Italia (florence) on a ps5 hardware would be magic. But ubisoft is more focused on black flag for now. Thisss one will be a treat in graphics remember those words
Why is your voice volume always so low on every video lol
I’m here because I’m so confused, my first game is ac origins and now I’m playing ac Odyssey, and next will be syndicate or Valhalla
Pretty sure Jacob is the reckless one lol
I was on board with you all focusing on Assassin's Creed content up until you decided to rank Kassandra ahead of Edward Kenway. Lost credibility.
Kassendra was a good character, but not better than Edward. I think top 3 has to Edward, Ezio and Bayek.(Interchangeable Order). Their character is explored much more than others.
@@thelastpersononearth9765The only top three anyone should have. Alexios is preferred for me but neither are bad characters.
That list itself was completely insane, saying Jacob Frye is a better character than Desmond and Bayek hurt my soul. Kassandra ranked at number two was blasphemy.
Totally not complicated in the slightest.
🤔
I think old concepts were a good assassin vs Templar and they want to rule the world .Now their concept looks like a history tv show anicent aleins😂😂
All I got from this was assassins creed didn't just shit on every religion, but also evolution all at once.
Templar=(Freemason)
So instead of preventing the second great catastrophe and ending it right there, they decided to keep going and give us a new reason to keep the AC franchise going!?
The Metal Gear & Assassin’s Creed series has arguably the most intriguing and confusing stories! You’d have to play all the games in order to get the true context of the story. 🧠
its really not confusing at all lmao
@@WhoShorts_it is when u r like me who played all the games till Origins and now there's no more Juno, there's games where u can choose your sex so there's one gameplay canon and one that's not, the ones that came befero r now the ISU, so there's that
Timeline starts with Desmond! Dummies 😊
I love how assassin's creed main antagonist was killed in a stupid comic book💀
can you pls tell me the name of the comic if u know pls?
I think it's time for a reboot
what are their explanations for hindu, chinese , african and deities in america
The Lore was once so good...but after AC3 it got bad and Odyssey killed it completly
So true
real
Dude that’s history, you have to take you time to understand. Don’t follow the bandwagon, decide for yourself.
@@1life1batle odyssey quite literally broke the lore of the series
They do that with everything now bro marvel dc Star Wars it all falls of a cliff into hot shit 😂😂 I’m still playing them though ngl
So... ISUs are The Anunnakis
Al Mualim the gaya on the mountain ⛰️
Things were on lock until unity destroyed the modern day and then all the modern day back stories were concluded in an obscure comic series, come on even avengers concluded their fight with thanos before they became shitty cash cows with confusing stories
Al moo aleem
How amazing would these stories be without eden isu and other bullshit
Why does no one talk about how horrible the audio is from origins onward. The music and all are fine but the voices and attacks sound so horribly mixed. Is it just me or…?
Maybe the voice actors had to record from home due to the pandemic?
ts easy to understand unless you're American
damn y’all got a lot of shit wrong
Next time... could someone whose voice's overcome puberty do the narration?
Nah, nope. I stopped at 8 minutes in... This shit is way too complicated & all ovwr the place. I never played AC but glad I didn't, the story line alone would've drove me nuts
The nerd-overload is making my brain hurt 🙉
So where does Nick Cage play out into all of this? 😂
okay nice to know i dont have to play the last 2 or 3 because the story is crap after the cold war
CORRECTION: AT 4:50 A/C VALHALLA MAIN CHARCTER IS NOT KASSANDRA IT IS THE GRANDSON OF LEONIDAS IS Alexios. BACK THEN ON ODYSSEY ERA WOMEN WERE IN KITCHEN, NOT RUNNING AROUND IN SKIRTS MAKING DEAL WITH MEN. KASSANRA WAS JUST OPTION FOR LGBTQIA+ OR F** OPTION.
Probably why I stopped playing these games after Desmond died the lore is just all over the place jumping back and forth through history with no real story for the modern day that got us involved in the first place
SCHOOL? Nah, play Assassin Creed + look a job. (Okay probably do basic/home school). Know that everyone around you is gonna tell you otherwise especially "if you wanna be a doctor" that's what they loves saying. Truth is, those people (and your parents) have been captured in a messed up education system that is kind of a pyramid scheme. Young people, you don't have to be. Only do university if you feel it'll aid in whatever you want to do. Oh and visit libraries and learned people. Skip all the competitive grading non-sense that only serves to kill your self-esteem and enslave you to those who own everything.
