The Assassin's Creed franchise has been all over the place in history. While jumping from period to period, players are able to meet and work with historical figures who existed in real life. While other games that also use history as a plot, none are as grounded as the Assassin's Creed games. The amazing thing about the series is that Ubisoft does their homework. Each game can actually teach players things that actually happened because it's so accurate.

With a new entry - Assassin's Creed: Valhalla - on the horizon, that already has people speculating about who is going to show up. So while waiting for Assassin's Creed upcoming Norse chapter, it's a good time to revisit the franchise and see which games are historically accurate and not. Without further delay, here are the main Assassin's Creed games, ranked by how historically accurate they are.

10 Assassin's Creed: Origins (2017)

The further back in history people go, the harder it is to tell what exactly happened. Languages have died off and traditions and cultures don't exist anymore. This is the problem faced by Origins, which is set between 49-47 BC (aka Ptolemaic Period) and some time after the rule of Alexander the Great.

Because Cleopatra was the ruler of this era, every major event was recorded but the exact way of Egyptian life fell through the cracks. The player takes the role of a Medjay, a bodyguard of the Pharaoh, and this allows players to see the turmoil first hand. It's the smaller, more mundane details of this world that may or may not hold up to future academic scrutiny.

9 Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (2018)

Currently the longest game in series and the one set furthest back in time, Odyssey does a decent job showing how people lived during 431-422. This is the time of the Peloponnesian War between the warring Greek nation-states of Sparta and Athens.

Going back even further in time - especially farther than Egyptian times - can be a heavy task. Not having detailed information or things that can be read easily can turn the world Ubisoft is trying to create completely wrong. But even without having exact accounts or records from the people of this era, the authenticity of the world itself is spot on.

8 Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (2013)

Black Flag has the honor of being one of the best Assassin's Creed games in the series. History during the golden age of piracy has some sketchy spots, either things are missing sources or accounts are mistold. During that time, chronicling accounts and major events wasn't a top priority.

Still, Ubisoft managed to keep it as historically accurate as possible with the likes of, for example, Blackbeard.  Being one of the most famous pirates in history, he obviously plays a big role in the game. Because his death in real life was pretty gruesome, the way he dies in the game is tamer. It's so spot-on, Ubisoft even got the time and the context to his death right.

7 Assassin's Creed: Rogue (2014)

After Black Flag, the series has been in the Americas for two games already and fans were hoping to go to Japan or somewhere in Asia. Instead, Ubisoft decided to take their story to the north, specifically during the Seven Year War. This is a lesser-known conflict because of it being a mere seven year (a relatively short time compared to older wars) conflict between Prussia, Britain, France, and the Russian Empire.

Not much in the way of globe-changing importance happened during this period, so the game doesn't have a huge story or stakes like the other entries But it has a young George Washington starting off his military career in the British Army - that should count for something.

6 Assassin's Creed: Unity (2014)

The French Revolution changed a lot for France, and a lot of historical figures during this time are still relevant today - especially in Unity. For one, meeting Napoleon Bonaparte for the first time before he becomes the greatest general of his time is pretty cool. Ubisoft has been getting better and better over the years, and retelling history without distorting too much and Unity is proof of this marked improvement. Even the noticeable buildings like Notre Dam are an exact replica of the real-life buildings!

The detail in Unity is widely regarded since there's so much information about it and it's a pretty complicated time. With political turmoil, differing ideologies, and technology that was changing, it's a period that can be retold over and over. The only issue is that everyone in this version of France has an English accent for some reason.

5 Assassin's Creed (2007)

This entry takes it back to where it all began. Set during the crusades, it was also difficult to see who were the good and bad guys. Unlike Origins, the crusades have various versions of it depending on what is being read. Muslims say they won and while Christians also say they won, and that makes it more confusing because there's no definite answer. Historians also have differing accounts of the same conflict, so it's really hard to give a clear-cut conclusion.

However, the assassins in the game are more neutral, making it a lot easier to tell the story since the main character takes no side. The interesting thing about this game is that an order identical to the assassins did in fact exist.

4 Assassins Creed II (2009)

The second game takes place during Renaissance Italy and this is also the first time players get to see the legendary assassin Ezio Auditore.  Leonardo Da Vici plays a big role in Ezio's story, by testing out his inventions like flight to help Ezio in missions. Doing an Italian Assassin's Creed without him would be impossible.

Interacting with the Medici family, who are one the backbones of the Renaissance, is very interesting to experience.  The city of Venice where the game spends most of its time is pretty cool on its own. Visiting the iconic canals and climbing St. Mark's Basilica is something that can only happen in Assassin's Creed II.

3 Assassin's Creed III (2012)

Like the French Revolution, The American Revolution is full of conflict and turmoil. Both also have a lot of resources on them, so it's hard to be inaccurate. The cool thing about this game is going to New York, Boston, and exploring the frontier for the first time.

Not only that, but players also get to meet iconic figures who are important to the revolution like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, just to name a few. Even taking part of the midnight ride to warn that the British are coming puts players in front making history. It's a shame that players don't recognize Assassin's Creed III as a good game.

2  Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (2010)

Rome is one of the most iconic cities in the world, and Ubisoft does it justice in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Traveling to Rome for the first in Ezio's second chapter is worthwhile.

Dealing with Cesare Borgia takes center stage here, since Ubisoft got his personality and temperament right. In history books, he couldn't hold on to much, so he's not as much as a threat just like how he's been described. The structures are almost identical to their real counterparts like the Colosseum. Playing this game is almost like going for walk in Rome in 1499!

1 Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (2015)

Syndicate is notably the one Assassin's Creed game whose time period is the closest there is to modern-day. Taking place during the Industrial Revolution in London, Syndicate creates a truly one of kind experience.

Unlike most games in the series, Syndicate is a modern city filled with wide streets and tall buildings that show that it's different than other cities. Take note, all of these structures were made before the London Bridge. Some aspects of London look different because of the time period but in terms of accuracy, it's almost identical.  Being the most modern setting in the series, people can see landmarks even to this day.
