An officially licensed guide to the exciting historical destinations and ancient battlegrounds of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series
Meticulously re-created historical sites are a staple of the bestselling Assassin’s Creed series—and, in fact, are one of the main draws of Ubisoft’s all-time bestselling property. Each new game transports gamers to a different era and locale, beginning with Jerusalem in the time of the Crusades and going on to explore Renaissance-era Italy, colonial America, Paris during the French Revolution, 19th-century London, and ancient Greece and Egypt. Assassin’s Creed has provided a means to walk through the past and experience world history in a firsthand, immersive way. In Assassin’s Atlas , previously unpublished maps, diagrams, and drawings illuminate all of the lands of antiquity featured across the series that have defined both real-world history and the games themselves. Throughout, gaming journalist Guillaume Delalande expands on Assassin's Creed’s fascinating lore and reflects on the critical moments that gamers experienced in these locations.
as a complete assassin’s creed and history nerd, this book is a treat! not only are the maps brilliant, the facts and little tidbits around the pages are incredible. it’s so wonderful to get a behind-the-scenes look at the game series that has been present in so much of my life and shaped me into who i am. a beautiful piece of work!
This is a simple but beautiful look into the different places featured in the games- excluding Valhalla as it is still relatively new. It allows players to relive the major plot points and areas without having to download each game. Add in artwork from the creation of each game and a couple interviews, this atlas continues the trend of making you feel like the Assassin-Templar war is a real one.
Expected a bit more about creating all of the locations but overall a very nice addition to the games. Beautiful in-game artwork and the book itself is a good old show-off on a coffee table. Love having it.
Interesting book. I liked this book because I saw the playthrough of Assassin's Creed first game. I wish it was interesting in the sense that it would show the interior of the castle like Masyaf.
