On the first episode of Assassin’s Creed, Nolan North’s Desmond Miles awakens in an Ancient Egyptian laboratory after entering the Animus which relives the memories of his ancestor. Vidic (Phil Proctor) blackmails him for information only obtained by reliving Altair’s life, so he confronts the man responsible for bringing him to the Animus.

Assassin’s Creed (2007)

Desmond starts Altair’s story when he enters the Animus to retrieve the golden orb. Failure to perform his mission results in the removal of his rank and weapons. It is necessary for him to assassinate nine Members of the Order of the Templars. While collecting data, Altair must also report back on the targets.

Kristen Bell plays Lucy Stillman, the assistant of Dr. Vidic who Desmond gets close with while he’s on the trails of Altair. During these brief breaks, Desmond goes door to door and finds out what today’s Templars are after.

Minimum System Requirements

For gamers with lower-cost gaming PCs or laptops, running the original Assassin’s Creed will be an easy task as it requires only a dual-core processor. The requirements for a computer are 2GB of RAM and a DirectX 9.0-compatible graphics card, plus 8GB of storage space.

2. Assassin’s Creed II (2009)

Desmond discovers another past ancestor who assists him in becoming a modern-day assassin in this second installment of the Assassin’s Creed Saga.

His uncle Mario’s villa is near his uncle’s escape from the city.

Assassin’s Creed II (2009)

The legendary Leonardo de Vinci joins Ezio during his quest to avenge his father. The schematics of Altair’s Codex are incorporated into Ezio’s assassin tools that De Vinci enhanced.

In Desmond and Vidic’s quest to recover memories of Ezio, they discover that some of that information is being protected and can be detected only by Animus.

Any modern system will be able to run the 2nd Assassin’s Creed game no problem. There are a couple of requirements: Intel Core Duo E8200 or AMD Athlon II X4 620 processors, 2GB of RAM, and a video card with 512MB of video memory; 17GB of hard drive space if you have it.

3. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (2010)

After the previous games left off, the next installment of Assassin’s Creed picks up where they left off. The gang sets up camp in the ruins of the Villa Auditore led by Desmond, Lucy, Rebecca, and the other members. Once Desmond and his friends are safely hidden from the Templars, they return to live the life of Ezio.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood (2010)

In 1499, over a century after the events of Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Ezio departs the Vault. Mario is then killed by Cesare, taking Ezio back home, only for him to be rejoined by his uncle Ezio. Cesare entrusts the Apple to the Templars as well as himself.

Rome was restored to its former glory through assassinating key players in Cesare’s organization and sabotaging his resources after the death of Ezio. A looted Apple is recovered and hidden by Ezio. When Desmond awakens, his knowledge of how to recover the Apple stems from Ezio’s memories.

4. Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (2011)

You get to see all three of the main characters in this installment of the Assassin’s Creed saga: Altair, Ezio and Desmond. In 1511 A.D., Ezio travels. It was Constantinople. Istanbul has four districts: Baryezid, Galata, Constantine, and Imperial. Cappadocia, where Ezio starts his journey, is populated entirely by Knights Templar, so it is no surprise that they occupy nearly the entire underground city.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations (2011)

As Ezio explores Cappadocia, he learns that Altair has sealed a magical artifact that could destroy the Templars forever. Like Desmond, Ezio relives Altair’s memories and experiences by using the relics of the First Civilization.

However, Desmond is trapped inside Animus 2.0 in the present day. In the Black Room, Altair and Ezio work to reconnect him with their memories later on and help him wake up from his comatose state.

Ratonhnhake: ton’s perspective switches once Conner was born from Haytham’s. It describes how he became a hired killer, his trials, and his executions.

Desmond’s death should only be the beginning of Absergo’s attempt to find out what his ancestors were like, but it is not.

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag (2013)
