How Many Assassin’s Creed Games Are There? Full List (2026)
From scaling the rooftops of Renaissance Italy with Ezio Auditore to sailing the Caribbean alongside Edward Kenway, Assassin’s Creed has taken fans on some unforgettable adventures.
And Ubisoft hasn’t exactly been shy about giving us more.
Since the first game arrived in 2007, the franchise has grown to include 31 original Assassin’s Creed games: 14 mainline titles and 17 spin-offs. Count the 2026 remake Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and that number climbs to 32 distinct releases.
That’s a lot of leaps of faith.
But between the sequels, remasters, spin-offs, and historical timelines, keeping track of every Assassin’s Creed game isn’t as simple as it sounds. So, let’s break down the full collection.
How Many Mainline Assassin’s Creed Games Are There?
There are 14 mainline Assassin’s Creed games, beginning with the original Assassin’s Creed in 2007 and continuing through Assassin’s Creed Shadows in 2025.
What started with Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad navigating the Holy Land during the Third Crusade has turned into a journey through centuries of history. We’ve explored Ancient Egypt, fought alongside Vikings, joined the American Revolution, and even sailed the high seas as a pirate.
Not bad for a series built around staying hidden.
Here are all 14 mainline Assassin’s Creed games in release order.
| Game | Year |
| Assassin’s Creed | 2007 |
| Assassin’s Creed II | 2009 |
| Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood | 2010 |
| Assassin’s Creed: Revelations | 2011 |
| Assassin’s Creed III | 2012 |
| Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag | 2013 |
| Assassin’s Creed Rogue | 2014 |
| Assassin’s Creed Unity | 2014 |
| Assassin’s Creed Syndicate | 2015 |
| Assassin’s Creed Origins | 2017 |
| Assassin’s Creed Odyssey | 2018 |
| Assassin’s Creed Valhalla | 2020 |
| Assassin’s Creed Mirage | 2023 |
| Assassin’s Creed Shadows | 2025 |
One of the most memorable chapters belongs to Ezio Auditore, whose journey spans three games: Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations. From a young Florentine noble to a Master Assassin, fans get to experience nearly his entire life.
Later, Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla brought larger worlds and RPG mechanics into the mix. Mirage returned to the stealth-focused style of the earlier games, while Shadows finally brought players to feudal Japan with two protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke.
And somehow, every new setting makes us wonder where Ubisoft will take the Brotherhood next.
How Many Assassin’s Creed Spin-Off Games Are There?
Beyond the main adventures, our count includes 17 Assassin’s Creed spin-offs.
And believe it or not, some of these games take the franchise in unexpected directions.
While titles like Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and Freedom Cry feel familiar to longtime players, others experiment with side-scrolling adventures, mobile gaming, and even virtual reality.
Here’s the complete spin-off list.
| Game | Year |
| Altaïr’s Chronicles | 2008 |
| Bloodlines | 2009 |
| Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery | 2009 |
| Project Legacy | 2010 |
| Multiplayer Rearmed | 2011 |
| Recollection | 2011 |
| Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation | 2012 |
| Assassin’s Creed Pirates | 2013 |
| Freedom Cry | 2014 |
| Memories | 2014 |
| Chronicles: China | 2015 |
| Chronicles: India | 2016 |
| Chronicles: Russia | 2016 |
| Assassin’s Creed Identity | 2016 |
| Unity: Arno’s Chronicles | 2017 |
| Assassin’s Creed Rebellion | 2018 |
| Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR | 2023 |
Perhaps the most interesting release is Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR. Instead of watching your favorite Assassins perform their signature parkour moves, you get to experience the action in virtual reality as Ezio, Connor, and Kassandra.
Meanwhile, Freedom Cry gives Adéwalé, Edward Kenway’s former quartermaster from Black Flag, his own adventure.
A quick note about the numbers: some lists also count smaller promotional experiences, such as the 2009 Twitter Assassination Experience. We’re sticking to the 17 distinct spin-offs above, excluding promotional experiences, collections, and remasters.
What Is the Newest Assassin’s Creed Game?
The newest Assassin’s Creed release is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, which arrived on July 9, 2026.
That’s right. Edward Kenway is back aboard the Jackdaw.
This remake revisits the beloved 2013 pirate adventure with upgraded visuals, improved combat, enhanced parkour, and new content. It’s a chance to return to the Caribbean and experience Edward’s journey with modern gameplay improvements.
However, Resynced is a remake, not an entirely new chapter in the mainline storyline.
The newest original mainline game remains Assassin’s Creed Shadows, released on March 20, 2025. Set in feudal Japan, it introduces two very different protagonists: Naoe, a stealth-focused shinobi, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai.
So, if you’re wondering why some websites say there are 31 games and others say 32, the difference comes down to which releases they include.
Which Assassin’s Creed Game Should You Play First?
With so many adventures to choose from, where do you even begin?
The good news is that you don’t need to play all 14 mainline games to enjoy Assassin’s Creed. Many tell largely self-contained historical stories, even though they’re connected by the broader Assassin and Templar conflict.
If you’re just getting started, here are a few great options:
- Assassin’s Creed II: Meet Ezio Auditore and discover the classic Assassin’s Creed experience in Renaissance Italy.
- Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag: Explore the Caribbean, command your own pirate ship, and experience Edward Kenway’s unforgettable adventure.
- Assassin’s Creed Origins: Travel through Ancient Egypt with Bayek and discover the beginnings of the Hidden Ones.
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Step into feudal Japan and experience the contrast between stealthy shinobi gameplay and samurai combat.
Want to experience the complete story as it originally unfolded? Playing the games in release order is your best bet.
Otherwise, pick your favorite historical setting and dive in. There’s an entire world waiting to be explored.
Are More Assassin’s Creed Games Coming?
Absolutely. And with the franchise approaching its 20th anniversary in 2027, there’s still plenty to look forward to.
Ubisoft has confirmed several projects in development, including Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, a darker experience with a different direction for the series, and Codename Invictus, which focuses on multiplayer gameplay.
Neither has a confirmed release date, and Ubisoft plans to share more information about Hexe in 2027.
For a franchise that began with one Assassin in 2007, it’s safe to say the Creed still has a few stories left to tell.
