which assassins creed games are cannon ? No spoilers please.

[Nuriyokan]

I'm a huge fan on the assassins creed series but i left off on rogue. I havent played unity, syndicate, orgins,or oddysssey. My main question " out of the four ive listed is unity and sydicate cannon?" i read somewhere that unity"s story may not be cannon, nor syndicate. some are even saying that orgins and oddessy may not even be cannon. Im sorry its seems that i have a few questions not just one. No matter if they are cannon or not... I may still buy them very soon...

im sorry, but can someone please shed some light on this ? Im just hoping that the next four ac games on my list aren't just all spin offs but yea thanks in advance.

You're implying Ubisoft cares about canon and not just money.

I think they're basically all Canon, except for those 2D ones they made a year back or so, but even then, who knows.

^This. I didn't even think that there was an issue with lore in Assassins Creed. Ubisoft just does whatever to keep the cash train going. Story takes a backseat.

im sorry , not sure why you think theyre just shelling out games for cash. I love the assassins creed games... the story of the assassins is great but i also love the stories outside of the animus.
I only hate that they killed off desmond.

yea im past ezios and altiars i left off on rogue that was the last one i played so im ONLY asking about UNITY, SYNDICATE, ORGINS, AND ODYSSEY .

Basically all the games leading to the third entry in the series are Canon to the main story while every other game afterward is Canon but is to be considered as a Side Story

thats strange so its like theyre cannon but a side story within a cannon ? lol so weird

no im asking because to my knowledge all ac games up until the last one i played (rogue) are all cannon . I heard rumors of unity, syndicate,orgins , and odyssey not being cannon. Is this true was the question .... i wasnt implying anything only asking is all.

I'm starting to think you don't even understand what canon is.

thanks for giving the first real answer and not being a troll bro i appreciate it

Pointing out that they have cannons isn't trolling, dude. Maybe next time not ask whether or not something is a cannon if you want to know if something is in canon.

cannon meaning main story... non cannon meaning spin off or side story ... i think you misunderstood the question ..... I thought you were trolling because you said well certain games have cannons in them .... im like haha real funny but why troll.

thats why i thought you were trolling

That's not what canon means.

That's really not what cannon means.

Canon is whether or not something is in continuity to the story. Whether or not it exists or is true within a fictional world. It has nothing to do with whether or not it's a main story or a side story. Both can be canon.

Whereas a cannon is a weapon, typically a large cylindrical tube that fires a projectile (often a ball).

i think were saying the same thing... i may have worded it wrong.. but i must ask , can a side story be considered cannon? spin offs are usually non-cannon but... ok yea a side story can still be cannon. Im speaking of spin offs though .


Im not saying your information is wrong your correct . I think i may have gotten confused on side story vs spin off but i understan cannon and non cannon

None of it can be considered cannon. Because they're not cannons.

One "n", not two.

All of it can be considered canon, yes. If it happens in the same universe and the creators decide that it "counts", it's canon. It doesn't matter if it's the main story, a side story, a spin-off, a sequel, prequel, or whatever.

Canon is the entire body of work within that universe.
