Assassin's Creed: Second Age

Assassin's Creed: Second Age is the main installment in the Assassin's Creed series developed by Ubisoft. The game was released worldwide on November 23rd, 2024 for the PS5, Xbox Series X & S, Switch, PC & the Sony PlayStation Portable 2. In the game, the player is in control of Norman Jayden, as he accesses the memories of several of his DNA ancestors between 72 AD to 1969, from Bellator Solus in 72 AD Rome to Pvt. Kendrick Callaway in the Vietnam War, in order to prevent the 2025 Apocalypse, predicted by the Romans. Aside from missions in the past, the player can embark in missions in the future, in locations such as Tokyo, Washington D.C, Paris, The Mojave Desert, and Abestrgo Industries's now abandoned office in Rome from the 1st game & the Ezio Trilogy.

The game plays very differently. Mission's in the past have an open-world action-adventure stealth gameplay from the older games (AC1 - Revelations), but the Future levels have dropped the open-world action-adventure stealth in favor of a third-person shooter. Nevertheless, the game received mixed reviews between critics, but was supported by fans as a new direction to the franchise. Many compared it to The Saboteur, a 2009 game developed by Pandemic Studios & published by Electronic Arts.

Assassin's Creed: Second Age, alongside XCOM: Strategic Defense Force, Need for Speed: Future Apocalypse, the successful release of the PlayStation Portable 2 & Killing Floor 3 helped bounce the market off the Second Video Game Crash by their sales numbers. Assassin's Creed Second Age was the 3rd best selling game of 2024,
