With the potential Egyptian set Assassin's Creed Origins rumoured to be on the way, it's time to look back at all the ridiculous ways the series has altered history so far. The thing is, if you didn't know any better, you might think that the Assassin's Creed series is about visiting historical eras, seeing the past come alive, meeting famous figures, and stabbing them in the face. But that's only half the fun! In addition to focusing on the lives of various Assassins (members of a secret society with a fondness for running up walls and a deep hatred of mandolin players), the story also shows the profound effect Assassins and their Templar nemeses have had on humanity. Theirs is a secret war, fought in the shadows, with vast impacts on the world at large.
Hmm, secret war, shadow-battlingsmacks of conspiracy theories, doesn't it? Well, that's not the only thing about Assassin's Creed that sounds a bit tin-hatted. The series has tons of fun incorporating some of the world's most well known conspiracy theories into its storyline, and even more fun saying they're all completely accurate. For those not in-the-know, I have here 11 insane conspiracy theories that Assassin's Creed says are true, so that you may finally open your eyes! Just put this foil hat on first. It'll keep the CIA out of your brain.
