Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed

      computer and console electronic game created and distributed in 2007 by the French game developer Ubisoft Entertainment. Assassin's Creed, one of the premier titles in the emerging third-person stealth genre, was championed for its stunning visuals and original story line.

      In Assassin's Creed, players take the role of modern-day bartender Desmond Miles, who has been captured and forced to test a machine that allows people to relive their ancestors' memories through their own DNA. Miles journeys back to 1191 and takes the role of a Crusades-era Muslim Assassin who does battle with the Knights Templar and uncovers the mystery of sacred artifacts and ancient organizations. The story is periodically interrupted by modern-day interludes as Miles deals with the side effects of the memories.

      Play in Assassin's Creed is centred on avoiding confrontation rather than seeking it out. A meter tracks a character's visibility and the environment status as play progresses; character commands allow a player to blend in with crowds, keeping a low profile to avoid detection. Eagle vision, a unique ability, allows players to see allies and enemies in different colours, making it easier to avoid harm and to find friends. Assassin's Creed was a surprise hit for Ubisoft, achieving both commercial and critical success. A prequel, Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles, was released in 2008, and a sequel was slated for release in 2010.
