RPG era (Origins onward)

This covers Assassin's Creed's reinvention as a sprawling open-world role-playing series, starting with Origins in 2017. Where the earlier games were tightly structured stealth-action, this era opened up: huge maps, gear and leveling systems, branching dialogue, and dozens of hours of side content. Origins rebuilt the formula in ancient Egypt, Odyssey moved to classical Greece, Valhalla to Viking-age England, and Shadows (2025) to feudal Japan.

It is a games-only run, and it splits opinion. Some players love the scale and the historical tourism; others miss the leaner focus of the older games. What is not in doubt is ambition: each entry is enormous, recreating a whole ancient world to wander through.

The RPG era (Origins onward) franchise spans 8 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
