The framing story is set in the 21st century and features the same unnamed and unseen protagonist from Assassin's Creed Unity, who assists the Assassins in their race against the Templars to find an artifact hidden in London. The game's plot follows the premise of the Assassin's Creed franchise, involving a fictional history of real-world events where a secret war has been fought for centuries between two factions: the Assassins, who promote peace and liberty, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. It is the ninth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and the successor to 2014's Assassin's Creed Unity. It was released on October 23, 2015, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and on November 19, 2015, for Windows.
