Now that Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is out and players can get back into the Animus to see through the eyes of yet another cool, historical Assassin, it's time to revisit the entire timeline of the Assassin's Creed franchise. Assassin's Creed , because of its very nature, has a complicated and messy timeline. Since it's mostly based on our own timeline, every important moment in human history plays out in the long in-game history that encompasses the 12 main titles in the franchise along with its many spin-offs games, comics, and novels. Because of that blend of history and fiction, we're including everything significant to the game's storylines, as well as a couple of fun facts about how the game's timeline diverges or supersedes our own. Some details in some of the games may contradict one another, so we're sticking to the story that is still canon as of the last three games.

The word behind almost any sprawling anime franchise or much raved about show is usually shounen. But while it seems like "shounen" just means action anime where a bunch of guys aim to be the best, it's so much more than that. Read our Shounen Subgenre Guide. Shounen's all about huge life-or-death battles, side-splitting comedy, heavy suspenseful atmosphere, mindless fun and even a bit of romance. That's because shounen isn't a genre; it's a demographic — that is, it's a whole lot of solid gold anime aimed at young teen boys.
