Story and Gameplay

Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles is a prequel to 2007's multi-platform, award-winning Assassin's Creed.² The game is set in the Middle East of 1191 AD, during the Third Crusade. Altair is charged with retrieving a sacred chalice that has the power to end the Crusades.¹

Unlike its sequel, Altair's Chronicle doesn't offer a free-roaming gameplay style. Instead, the path before the player is fairly linear, with tasks set out one after the other in a side-scrolling format.³
