Page "Assassins" Paragraph 63

In the Assassin's Creed series of historical action-adventure video games, the first game followed a fictional version of the Syrian wing of the sect, while subsequent games and Assassin's Creed media would depict its successor organizations opposed to a Templar conspiracy.

The series imagines the Assassins as being active in various eras and locations: from 12th-century Syria during the Third Crusade ( this incarnation depicted in the first game and the one recorded by the Polos in-universe ), 15th-century Renaissance Italy and Turkey, 18th century North America during the American Revolution, and up to the 21st century.

Despite the fact that the Assassins probably only existed up until the late 14th century or early 15th century at most ( under Taqq ' iya ), content within Assassin's Creed, such as assassination targets, methods of assassination, symbolism, and Templar enemies, does not coincide with the factual history of the Assassins.

An earlier video game series based on the Assassins is the Exile series of action role-playing games, as well as assassins appearing in other video games like Dante's Inferno and the Prince of Persia series.
