Assassin's Creed III: Revolution Reborn | TheOnesWhoCameBefore

When Assassin’s Creed III launched worldwide in October of 2012, it marked a new era of the Assassin’s Creed series we know and love today. It became the first game in the series since 2009’s Assassin’s Creed II to not feature main protagonist Ezio Auditore, who was and always has been very well received by fans, so the attempt at creating a new story to succeed the renowned “Ezio Trilogy’ would be a tricky one for Ubisoft as they had to find a story that properly followed such a strong trifecta...

Why Assassin's Creed Remakes Will Succeed | TheOnesWhoCameBefore

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot announced recently that some of the classic original Assassin’s Creed games would be getting remakes, which means completely rebuilding and overhauling the original games in the series to hold up better against modern gaming years later since the beginning days of the series.

The Importance of Assassin's Creed Rogue | TheOnesWhoCameBefore

When Ubisoft released ‘Assassin’s Creed Rogue’ on November 11 2014, it was overlooked for several reasons, mainly because it was a simultaneous release with the more anticipated game, ‘Assassin’s Creed Unity’, which was also released on November 11 of that year. ‘Unity’ gathered more hype from fans since it was the first new ‘Assassin’s Creed’ game to be released exclusively on the next-generation PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gaming consoles, while ‘Rogue’ was seen as more of a filler for the fina...

The Evolution of Assassin's Creed | TheOnesWhoCameBefore

The ‘Assassin’s Creed’ series has come a long way since its creation way back in 2007. The games have been forced to adapt to coexist with the rapid evolution of technology. The technology that game developers had in 2007 is extremely different from what gaming companies have access to now. Having a game series that started in the late 2000’s to the present day means a lot of change over time, both with the games and with the world as it is today. Ubisoft had a challenge given to them in trying...
