Assassin's Creed is an action-adventure stealth game series published and developed by Ubisoft. The franchise was created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May. The first game in the series was released on November 13, 2007.
The series is centered around a struggle between two factions, the Assassins and the Templars. The Assassin faction fights for peace and free will while the Templars desire to create peace by controlling the world at large. The series combines historical fiction, science fiction, and even some "ancient aliens" theories with real-world historical events and figures.
Players control a modern Assassin as well as an Assassin from the past to progress through the game.
The series was inspired by Solvenian writer Vladimir Bartol's novel Alamut.
