But when will you be able to get sailing? Well, head below to find out exactly when you can raise the anchor \u2014 wherever you live.<\/p>\n<p>The Complete Assassin&#8217;s Creed Timeline<img alt=\"Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows may be the latest game in the long-running series, but its feudal Japan setting places it at the midpoint of the series\u2019 historical timeline. That\u2019s because Assassin\u2019s Creed doesn\u2019t progress chronologically; this long-running franchise hops forwards and backwards in time between each entry, exploring significant events from as far back as the Peloponnesian War in Ancient Greece, and right up to the dawn of the First World War.&#10;&lt;\/br&gt;&#10;&lt;\/br&gt;&#10;With 14 games in the mainline series and counting, the timeline of these events is increasingly complex. That\u2019s why IGN has pored over every scrap of lore to make sense of the series' centuries-spanning timeline, the overarching story, and how the games all fit together. The result is this timeline, which covers all the key events in the Assassin\u2019s Creed timeline in chronological order.\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Pre-loading naturally begins first, with Xbox Series X\/S available already, while PC and PS5 pre-loads begin at 2pm UTC or 12am local time on July 7, respectively. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The game&#8217;s actual rollout is more complicated, though follows a similar pattern across timezones.
