A game that incorporated the story of the Knights Templar from their perspective - perhaps from the end of the Crusades leading up to the Order's ultimate dissolution - would provide a new outlook on the first game's story. This era is one long-time fans want the series to revisit. RELATED: Assassin's Creed: Whatever Happened to Juno? The blending of real events and historical fantasy is something Ubisoft's mammoth franchise has excelled at, and a chance to see the role the Assassins play in the downfall of Jacques and the Templars leading up to his arrest would be an engrossing narrative. The historical reasons for this are fascinating: Philip was concerned about the growth in power and wealth of the Templar Order and sought to re-centralize power by essentially dissolving the Templars and bringing control back to the Crown. The advisor ultimately fails after being killed by an assassin, while Jacques is later burned at the stake for heresy on the orders of King Philip IV of France. Set in early 14th century Paris as the Templar Order is seemingly coming to an end, it is a welcome return to such an evocative period in history not seen in the series since the flashbacks to Altair in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Players are plunged into the action as an advisor to Templar Grandmaster Jacques de Molay, who is charged with protecting the Temple’s Sword of Eden and the Order's central Codex. RELATED: Assassin's Creed Infinity Could Find a Home in the Roman Empireīefore getting involved with the adventures of Arno the Assassin and his quest to clear his name and end the Templar influence in France, they are treated to perhaps the best opening of any Assassin’s Creed game ever. Unity also hinted at some expert story craft, that finds its greatest effect in the game's exceptional prologue: The Tragedy of Jacques de Molay.
Many consider Unity to be the unsurpassed apex of Assassin's Creed's parkour mechanics, while the atmosphere and ambiance of 18th century Paris create a setting that is as brutal as it is beautiful.
Some series' high points can be found within the mythology of the French Revolution.
