The ability to sail the seas is a feature of several Assassin’s Creed games . With oceans to explore and engaging naval battles, this feature has become one of the most popular within the Ubisoft series , a welcome diversion from the typical gameplay offered by the various exponents of the franchise.
Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag in particular is one of the most beloved episodes precisely because of its focus on sailing aboard the imposing vessel Jackdaw led by the pirate Edward Kenway , but it was not this chapter that offered this novelty for the first time: what was the first Assassin’s Creed to offer naval battles? We are talking about Assassin’s Creed III , the game that concluded the saga of Desmond Miles (remember how Desmond’s story ends in Assassin’s Creed 3 , by the way?) and featuring the American Assassin Connor Kenway .
While a secondary element within the gameplay, Assassin’s Creed III also offered missions specifically focused on naval battles on the open sea among its gameplay features. At the time, this was an idea that was still in its infancy and had more limited functionality than what was seen in subsequent Assassin’s Creed games, however the popularity of these specific activities convinced Ubisoft to further expand the concept with the subsequent Assassin’s Creed IV, and then propose them again in other games such as Assassin’s Creed Rogue , Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey .
Still on the subject of curiosities related to the iconic Ubisoft brand, do you know what the Assassins’ maxim is in Assassin’s Creed and what its meaning is?
