Check out our breakdown of the new Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer! ruclips.net/video/OJ4EjlyR9CU/видео.html
The moment when you meet historical figures like benjamin Franklin, Washington, grahambell, herodotos, socrates, blackbeard and so on are the best part of AC experience
That should have been how AC works, rather than duelling with Greek and Egyptian gods on earth or on other dimensions altogether
@@stormmeansnowork Origins was good and i feel like we needed that it presented us how the creed was created, but Odyssey and Valhalla naah i too feel like that wasn't necessary
@@weirdray9706 I enjoy Valhalla it feels more like a very good Viking game at times but I enjoy it
Did Jack The Ripper originally wear a sack on his head with an eyehole back then?
@@hassanmasood186Syndicate is a trade AC game, games like 3, Ezio collection, black flag, Unity, Origins makes these real life events insane tho
The real life historical moments is one of the reasons why this game franchise is so good.
Excited to see how Mirage hopefully brings things back down to earth
@@OldJabbaJawswell😂
These games are the reason why I fell in love with history and now pursuing my bachelor's in history. And I'll eventually try to get in Oxford to pursue masters. Who thought that a game will build my career. I'll be grateful for eternity @Ubisoft
Got to appreciate how accurate the Bastille storming was, down to the fact that there were just about 7 prisoners left by the time it happened. That is, of course, if both the history record and my count of those NPCs in the said section of the game are both correct. Nevertheless, it's a very neat alignment with the history book.
Fun fact, the Borgia family still exist to this day, and through out history they have always had influence in Italy, they have had many positions of power both within the church and within politics, several Borgias became high priests, political statesmen, ministers, prime-ministers, if i remember correct there was even 1 or 2 other borgias who became pope after Alexander the 6th.
yea my AP euro teacher taught one of them in his class.
"WHAT THE FU" - ezio
i remember playing my first AC and meeting Ben Franklin, and after helping retrieve his letters he started giving us better tools and weapons..before he eventually left england for america..as a 12/13 year old who didn’t necessarily like going to school lol, this was one of those key moments that helped switch it around..made listening to those teachers seem a bit more interesting knowing they could actually play out like that in my head..thank you to the AC developers for keeping these nuggets in each game for us History buffs who didn’t know we wanted to be
Franklin was awesome. Went to school for maybe two or three years and was completely self-taught otherwise. Considering his inventions and writings, that's rather impressive.
@@mike7652same here. History didn’t seem so bad after all 😂
fr
Any historical inaccuracies in the series are explained in the very first game when Warren Vidic tells Desmond Miles it's the textbooks that are wrong lol 😝

The WWI portions of Syndicate where great. To this day, I still want to see an Assassin's Creed set in the time period of WWI.
Games rarely utilize the Great War. Outside of Battlefield 1, I can't think of any games in this time period off the top of my head.
I've loved these game right from the original ac. Ive played them all multiple times. The history nerd in me is in heaven 😂
Can't wait to get started as soon as I fix my GPU 😍
Another figure worth mentioning is Aspasia, who was prominently featured in Odyssey. She was a famous scholar and philosopher in Greece who was so influential that many of the great philosophers credit her as their muse.
Origins had one of the best historical storytelling of all time.
I mean... It showed you the full of Egypt to the actual murders of Pompey by Ptolemy like an idiot, Caesar flying into a rage hearing that news, Cleopatra meeting Caesar in a rag with the assist of Amunet and Bayek, Ptolemy raging at Caesar for even allying with Cleopatra, the Siege of Alexandria, death of Ptolemy, the visit and ambition declaring of Caesar in Alexander's tomb and the Eids of March.
No other series did portray the whole historical accuracy of the whole event as well as Origins. ACIII tried but it's at best second fiddle to Origins and that's why, despite what people said, Origins will be the best in terms of storytelling and historically accurate to me.
HE WAS A *CONSUL OF ROME*
If only Ptolemaic Egypt were as interesting as ancient Greece or Renaissance Italy...
Odyssey was my favorite for the history... meeting Socrates, Hippocrates, Herodotus, and yes even Posiedon and Hades was fuckin amazing.
Assassin creed is my favorite video game franchise 35 percent of that is due to its history, and is the game that really made me like history class during school
Assasins Creed is just great. I've played every game multiple times and it never gets old. Such a great time in gaming.
Even Valhalla? Who did this to you?
@@jackofspades3845Valhalla is a good game, just not a good assassins creed game
@@JAme-ds5iq yeah, but when he puts assassins creed…
@@jackofspades3845 well Valhalla is called assassins creed mate.
That’s not my point, my point is people hate on Valhalla being a shit ac game and that it would’ve done better without the ac name
@@jackofspades3845Valhalla is the 3 Rd best one I think I think the first couple are kinda boring except brotherhood
Lisbon earthquake was ma fav if them all. Still remember back when i experienced it first time. Goosebumps !!
The 7th years war was one of the rare big war won by the villains
There's never a right or wrong side in war. There are no heroes and villains when it comes to war. When it comes to war, there are no heroes or villains until it's over and historians write it down. History is written by the victor. That is why you consider the 7 Years War won by "The Villains" because the way you were taught, or the way you look at it, is that they were bad because of their actions later on.
Love the content been watching for years
It was reported that Julius Caesar got stabbed to death 23 times. If you rewatch his death in Origins, that’s how many times he got stabbed in the cutscene if you count it
And Amunet was the one who started it. With Caesar’s death, the Romans learned the hard way, why their order should never have existed. Killing Khemu is their biggest mistake.
1 of the reasons y i love ac is bc of the ways they include irl history
Love your video and I love these games
highly interesting and informative
History makes for great inspiration.
Black Beard and Da Vinci were some of my favorite characters.
ac 2 is still hands down my fave assassins creed game
I loved the last Maharaja dlc featuring dileep singh
I’m the 3.1K like on this video. Good job guys, I love these games!! 😎💯🔥
I like how ubisoft included historical events without changing the facts completely, they just involved the assassins and when something tragic happened that were left unexplained during those times they just blame the templars. Lmao 😂😂😂
Or the Isu artifacts like in Rogue XD
@@vailingbow1068 And its always the Assassins to the rescue even if they were part of the mess. LMAO
@@thepope8240 True XD and it's never the Templars are good. Like I'm sure they've done some good. Other than Rogue. Kinda.
@vailingbow1068 A group that strides in wanting powerful ancient artifacts to control the world and its populace aren't the "good guys." They were the "good guys" in Rogue because, in comparison, the colonial assassins were monsters (before Connor of course.) That's not to say the assassins were entirely good either. They wanted complete freedom for everyone which could lead to anarchy and chaos. That's why there needs to be a balance between free choice and control but where does the line blur?
@@SmokeyGames420 Yeah, wanting complete control ofc isn't something good and wanting complete freedom isn't good either, but they could diversify the Templars a bit. Like in Unity. There was a real shot at a alliance between Templars and Assassins but Bellec fucked it up. Elise up and died too and Arno killed Elise's supporters. Germain was lowkey so smart. He tricked Arno into thinking he's just a blacksmith and got him to get rid of his opposition.
Still nobody talking about the tragic real life word of Cesar “what? You too my child?” Before being finished off Cesar was a horrible man who encouraged rape death and atrocity but Cesar did care for his empire and his empire was most of the world and he especially is the reason there was a mostly happy Divide in classes
I never get tired of watching videos about the historical tie-ins in AC.
Fun fact: there actually were a group called order of assassins in real life
I wouldn't doubt, assassins did/do exist. Just most likely not of the white hooded, hidden blade variety
@@DHGxMcFlurry never said that the assassins who did exist in real life wore hoods and have hidden blades
@@laurencecopnall1 Didn't say you did, read next time
audi family do exist
even some people like me right it awdi
minus assassinating people of course and no "tore" in audi
@@laurencecopnall1bit aggressive bud
Could you maybe rank all the ac dlcs? I would enjoy it a lot.
I like how that always put their own twist on historical event
The Borgias were probably so reviled due to them being from Spain and not Italy (especially considering how many othert lesser known Popes did wosre things than Rodrigo)
The reason I love AC is cause of the historical content. I love history so playing a video game that incorporates history is my favorite.
Love the video
I never owned ACIII my first was ACIV but I think its so cool that they featured the Old North Church in III

If you can. Please do a part 2 of this list? Because I love this franchise.
@@brokenbridge6316 yes
Love the bit about the last templar getting burned at the steak
Student: "Sir, how come history books never mentions an Assassin fighting multiple knights?"
Teacher: "Because Historians don't want readers like you to think that they messing with History. If I say that a hooded Native American fought alongside George Washington by chopping and shooting Red Coat men like a Badass, would you believe that?"
Student: "Uh...no."
The Assassin order got wiped out by the Mongols on their way to Bagdad.
That teacher sounds like a fucking Templar😂 talking about: "Would you believe Assassins existed"😂
Idk where you guys get your info but most of the Greek forces retreated, leaving the 300 spartans and 700 thespians. So Yes, there absolutely was a point where 300 spartans fought against 100,000+ Persians. Don't just say stuff with no context. There were thousands of Greeks at the beginning from several armies that all retreated
@@mojoplays471 converse right here
@@ianjordan44did you really think he would reply?
@@JAme-ds5iq i dont care, he needs to stop misspreading info hes done it a few times on several different subjects
Meeting the historical figures is the best part of assassins creed
You forgot about ACII Caterina Sforza upon her children being kidnapped; lifts her skirt and says she has instruments to make more
How did you not mention brasidas?
He was one of the most important characters tet you didnt mention how perfectly ubisoft pictured him
If Assassin's Creed Mirage turn out well, I'll play it. I'm never interested in playing as Demigods in the Assassin's Creed series, and I've been waiting long to play as an actual Assassin again.
Well, to be clear. Bayek, the Mithios and Eivor were never truly Assassin in their core which is probably affect their fighting styles.
@@farhanibrahim6431well bayek did start the brotherhood to fights against the order misthios was living In an era where the brother hood hadn’t been made yet but the Templar existed as the order of the ancients and odyssey focused a lot on the back story of the Templar order and also the first hidden blade via the dlc and the isu via Atlantis Valhalla was just full on focusing on the isu
Well ahem *spoilers* but you’ll be playing as a Demi God the whole game. He just might not know it yet lol
@@danieltravelstead there is that lmao
did you play it?
They should do a game based on the Moors.
15:42 Is this the same voice as Arno Dorin from AC Unity?
I loved jack the ripper and caesars assassination
Now that Ubisoft has returned to there roots with Maroge I’d absolutely love to see a game set in either ww 1 or 2 imagine how dope it would be
They need to rework unity. Also fuck the teleportation bs in mirage
Why in the hell did you mention a historical event in Assassin's Creed 3 and then proceed to show absolutely none of the burnt buildings in the area you're talking about 😂
A conspiracy theory was that Jack the Ripper when the police were getting close to getting him. That he took a ship to America and became HH Holmes America's first serial killer. But this isn't viable as HH Holmes/Herman Mudget was born in New Hampshire in 1861.
I would love an Assassin's Creed game based on Samurai's or Ninjas , or even Knight's
We will be getting Feudal Japan with Assassin's Creed: Codename Red
They are making a ninja version based in japan
@Lane Bishop I'm definitely interested and excited to see this one finally.
And to be honest, I'm glad Ghost of Tsushima came out to give Ubisoft some competition. I know the Fuedal Japan AC game is gonna be great, though i still give Ubisoft credit for making nice detailed open worlds, and hopefully AC Codename Red will have more "Verticality", this is so important to me when exploring game worlds and games like Ghost Recon Wildlands/Breakpoint, Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, Hogwarts Legacy, and dare I say it... even Forspoken and Elex 2 all those games world designs really gave you that "sense of scale" by not just a large flat map to traverse but "more Verticality" in their environmental designs.
I really need that in my games, and any gliding mechanics or flying mounts are always welcome for me. I love it 🤟😎
i cant imagine a knight jumping from roodtop to rooftop and being stealthy in that clunky armour

Another interesting factoid is that the Lisbon earthquake happened on the day Marie Antoinette was born, which kind of segues into Unity.
I love this series. Have played it since the beginning. As a Christian it saddens me to realize they made us the villains and enemies of the Order. It doesn’t change my opinion of the game I still love the whole concept and being able to live history to a degree.
The syndicate scene with the zeppelins was WW2 not 1. Churchill was an enlisted soldier during The Great War.
Nobody's talking about the money he made in ac3.
Hax modz
Cheat engine entered the chat
thought the fire of London start at a bakery
The Spanish fleet sinking was actually a major reason Spain went broke
iu didnt know BB got his head cut off i thought he had his back sliced (in game)
How do they have that much money in ac3
Paul revere wasn’t alone on his midnight ride their were multiple other riders
Julious Caesar was on his way to becoming emperor. The title wasn't officially used until Augustus. That is why Agustus is the first Emperor of Rome not Julious.
It's almost like the AC games are based around historic events like specific wars, revolutions or ages :)
Everytime i hear the crusades i have to say "some that almost didnt fail".. iykyk
In real life black beard was shot six times not being stabbed
It was kinda of both he was shot 5 times but also had 20 lacerations from a sword.
They should make a “Assassins Creed: OJ Simpson” version. Where you’re in the white Ford Bronco speeding down the freeway & merking Nicole & Ron Goldman.
9:00 : persians come to make slave all of us
cyclops : man wtf ? 😐
You need to read up on thermopylae more. Yes there was a few thousands other Greeks there. But when Leonidas realized the persians had discovered the goat path he knew they would all die regardless of numbers. So he sent the other armies of greece home so that they may live, and he and his 300 spartans stayed behind to delay the persians as long as possible. They all faught to the last man.
This is one of the earliest well recorded event thanks to horodutus. Who wealso see in game.
the vikings lost the siege of paris but the king thaught they looked scary so he gave them land in normandy to keep other vikings away and who took over the english in 1066 wiliam the bastard/conqueror of normandy
Whoop whoop April 19th as a historic date. As I'm a 1990s baby.
I like the Boston massacre in ac3
I also like how, in history, it says the Boston Tea Party was carried out by people dressed as Native Americans….and then you carry it out in the game as an ACTUAL Native American. Pretty neat
It is a historical game
Bro died at 10:50 💀😂
jack the ripper gave arkham asylum vibes
I liked the Jack the Ripper DLC
It's incredibly absurd to me that you think Assassin's Creed players are so stupid that they don't even understand the premise of the games that they've been playing for over a decade.
So most tea in Boston harbor, it's killed a fish native to area, after the Boston tea party
Assassins Creed 2 is the 🐐
So is AC Odyssey
@@ColeHargreaves not even close
@@AlexLopez-qj1or It is
@@ColeHargreaves nope
@@AlexLopez-qj1or yes
I guess I am not the only one who got irritated by Revere. He keep dying after i finish optional quest during the tea party
Lisbon was first hit by a earthquake than a tsunami and than the city burned down!
it was actually Dr. Sam Prescott, who warned everybody
You missed the Boston massacre
13:33 ok Batman
thats not Churchill 6:00
I think history proves the french are some of the toughest people on earth
Damn dude, how much did you play ac3 to get that much money
5:33 incorrect. Syndicate's Lydia Frye takes you through the German use of Zepplins to attack London in the First World War, not the Blitzkrieg of WW2.
The Cult of Reason (French: Culte de la Raison)[note 1] was France's first established state-sponsored atheistic religion, A secular religion is a communal belief system that often rejects or neglects the metaphysical aspects of the supernatural, commonly associated with traditional religion, instead placing typical religious qualities in earthly entities. Among systems that have been characterized as secular religions are liberalism, libertarianism, anarchism, communism, Juche, Nazism, fascism, Jacobinism, nationalism, civil religion, Religion of Humanity, the Cult of Reason and Cult of the Supreme Being that developed after the French Revolution not atheist get it right
actually there were only 300 Spartans at the battle of Thermopylae although initially there were a couple thousand soldiers made up of other greeks who defended against between 10,000 to 20,000 Persians however on the third day when the greeks were betrayed, Leonidas sent them in retreat staying with his 300 Spartans to cover their escape against the rest of Xerxes army(120,000-300,000) and buy the rest of greece time.
The...Romans?
@@_jpg yes??
@@IanoReeves Not the Greeks? Certainly the Romans? ^^'
@@_jpg oh my bad, mistake. i'll edit that.
I swear I learn history through AC 😂😂
Assassin creed 3 really looked like that ? , it’s like I remember it being the best playing and looking game ever🥹
You youngens have no idea, looking back Mario64 breaks my brain after 25 years.
Hey @ubisoft how bout filipino culture vs spain.
they made jack the ripper an assassin who knows jacob
That’s world war 1 my guy
wait theres a assassins creed game during ww2 5:41
its a mission in ac syndicate with something to do with the side missoons
Why does Ezio sound like an angry italian Adam Sandler.
EDIT: ALSO, Jack The Ripper only killed "street-walkers", and that was it, i guess he was a holyman, though, because the bible DOES say "be faithful to your spouse" but im not sure if that ever applied to women or not.
They have to make a Assasins creed that we can see Jesus crusified 💯💯💯
The signing of the Declaration didn't feel patriotic enough
Brethren I haven't played every game and guilty of watching in 2016 and rewatching now with my girlfriend, but Teen Wolf's Tyler Possey looks like ACII Assassin.
The british taxed he colonist's less than british civilians and they were onky taxed since the british spent loads of money to protect tge colonese from france so Bugger off!
Hi
