'Assassin's Creed Chronicles' Trilogy Announced
Ubisoft is adding three new titles to its "Assassin's Creed" games, and lest anyone thinks that it might be the same as previous titles, these three games are entirely different from what gamers expect as the games will take place in three destinations: China, India, and Russia. Each game comes with a new hero from the "Assassin's Creed" universe and while each story stands on its own, the chronicle is tied together narratively.
"Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China" will take the player to 1526, when the Ming Dynasty starts to crumble. This is an era and region that gamers have been asking for since the very first "Assassin's Creed" game. You'll be playing as Shao Jun, the last remaining Assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood, returning to her homeland with a vendetta.
"Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India" lets the player assume the identity of Arbaaz Mir, who's caught in the tension between the Sikh Empire and the East India Company in 1841. When a Master Templar arrives with a mysterious item that used to belong to the Assassin Order, Arbaaz must steal back the item and protect his friends while doing so.

History and conspiracy buffs will surely appreciate "Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia," which occurs in Russia in 1918.
This time, the hero is Nikolai Orelov, who is required to do one last mission for the Assassin Order before he leaves the country with his family: infiltrate the tsar's house, where the tsar's family is being held by the Bolsheviks and steal an artifact that has been fought over by Assassins and Templars for centuries. Along the way, Nikolai witnesses the massacre of the entire family, but manages to save Princess Anastasia. So along with escaping the Templars, Nikolai must protect the artifact and Anastasia.
Ubisoft plans to release all three games this year. "Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China" will launch first on April 21 and will be free for those who purchased the season pass for "Assassin's Creed: Unity." Following that will be the release of "Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India" and then "Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia."
All the games will be available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
