Ubisoft unveils Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles downloadable trilogy

French game giant Ubisoft has unveiled a new trilogy in the Assassin’s Creed series. The first downloadable Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles game debuts April 21, and the full series takes players to settings in China, India, and Russia.

The 2.5D game will follow the stories of three famous Assassins. It’s a download for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Windows PC. Each chronicle is a standalone game with a unique setting, art style, story, and Assassin. But the narratives are tied together.
