The problem is, that's not how famine works. The French food crisis was a massive societal problem that had loads of different causes. Victorian London is another pretty common setting and one reasonably well documented. However, it still managed to get some key things wrong, and it's rather telling what Ubisoft did and didn't want to focus on in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. They got the civil rights issues the wrong way round. Child labor, which is a big part of the game, was outlawed by the s when the game is set, so freeing children from factories should be unnecessary.
On the other hand, a huge societal problem of the time was how women were treated in society. Specifically, how an astounding amount of poorer women were forced into prostitution to get by. This is something that the game completely skims over and doesn't feel comfortable touching at all, despite the inclusion of a female protagonist. It's also worth mentioning that this is the only game to feature Jewish characters, specifically Karl Marx and Benjamin Disraeli.
This is a big problem when Jewish people were a large part of the Holy Land's population, and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood 's Renaissance Rome should have had a massive Jewish quarter. In , Ubisoft looked to reinvent the franchise for the first time in a decade, moving back to the ancient world with Assassin's Creed Origins , specifically Ptolemaic Egypt.
For the most part, it does a decent job portraying the Egyptian Civil War and Egypt's relationship with Rome at the time. However, it makes a few significant alterations. Firstly, Bayek is a Medjay, but he is almost 1, years too late to be one.
Then, there's the huge omission of Arsinoe, the sister to Ptolemy and Cleopatra , who was also a big part of the Civil War. She was taken prisoner and eventually executed by Rome. Speaking of Rome, the assassination of Julius Caesar is perhaps the most high-profile assassination in history, so of course the game was going to depict it. The true story of how it happened is gripping enough that it could be a great Assassin's Creed movie , but the game throws it aside with Aya just wandering up and stabbing him.
Caesar gets in his "Et Tu, Brute? Upon Assassin's Creed Odyssey 's release, many were impressed with the authenticity and historical accuracy of the game. Greece's major cities were all faithfully recreated, if scaled-down slightly to fit into the game's world.
This means the inaccuracies are more to do with the story's biases. Firstly, the game tries to have it both ways in that Alexios or Kassandra can play both sides of the Peloponnesian War. One minute the player will be brutally murdering Athenians and playing tough-guy with the Spartans, then they'll be talking philosophy with the Athenians the next. This leads to another issue: the game has a very pro-Spartan outlook, as that's where the protagonist is from.
The game isn't afraid to show the Athenians committing war crimes and horrible massacres, but shies away from showing the Spartans doing the same, even though they are guilty of committing similar atrocities.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla has a pretty good take on Vikings and their culture. Historians are doubtful that they were so over-the-top in their masculinity as they have been portrayed in a lot of media, but it's still pretty faithful to the current historical information. Its main changes come from its efforts to make the world more picturesque and interesting to explore.
The biggest problem is the Roman architecture that litters the landscape; a lot of it is crumbling or in ruins, but there are some buildings still standing. This is incorrect, as it is widely believed that all Roman architecture would've been completely in ruins by the time of the Vikings, and that's not even mentioning all the abandoned Hidden Ones' bureaus in top condition.
The climate is pretty weird too. It seems once players go far enough north, the whole country becomes blanketed in snow, which isn't realistic. Even in the cooler climates of the time, snow wasn't that common in England, and even when it happened, it was never in the copious amounts seen in the game.
The Norweigan winter is more faithfully represented and presents a great vista for activities like Cairns. Ultimately, Assassin's Creed Valhalla has proven that the franchise has become more inclined toward historical accuracy over time. This bodes well for whatever period the Assassin's Creed franchise takes players to next. In a considerable privacy breach targeting Dead by Daylight streamers, players share their woes as DDoS attacks, doxxing, and swatting ensue.

After seeing his home destroyed, Ezio travels to Rome in an effort to rebuild the Assassin Order and bring down the Borgia family, who rule the city with an iron fist. Along the way, the modern day assassins hope to discover the location of the Piece of Eden, or "The Apple" before the Templars find out first.
Action Adventure History Sci-Fi. Hidden behind a corner, Rodrigo witnessed Giovanni capture one of his men, who later revealed the planned assassination of Galeazzo Sforza, a powerful ally of Lorenzo de' Medici. Giovanni attempted to prevent the assassination, though he arrived too late to do so. Rodrigo's plan had succeeded, and so he began to devise his next scheme. Giovanni Auditore learned that Rodrigo's plans would lead him to the city of Venice, after looting a Venetian ducat from Giovanni Lampugnani.
Upon traveling there, he intercepted a message from Marco and Silvio Barbarigo to their master, Rodrigo. After Uberto Alberti and Antonio Maffei "failed" to decode the intercepted letter, the Medici and Uberto sent Giovanni to carry a copied version of the message to Rome , in order to discover who was behind the plot. Arriving in the city, Giovanni handed the message to a man, and followed the letter as it passed through several hands before meeting its final destination: Rodrigo Borgia.
Rodrigo then left to see Pope Sixtus IV, hoping to obtain military support in order to conquer Florence. After gaining Sixtus' favor, Rodrigo headed out of the Vatican , and into the streets of Rome once more. Peter's Basilica. However, he fell into an ambush set by Rodrigo, who had known of the Assassin following him. Rodrigo tried to offer Giovanni a position among the Templars, but the Assassin refused, stating that Rodrigo would be dead before he could see the Templars' fantasy become reality.
Disappointed, Rodrigo had his men attack Giovanni, but the Assassin routed all of them. Rodrigo, who had been watching from the sidelines, threw a knife at Giovanni, which hit him in the chest — he then took the chance to flee the Basilica. Afterwards, Rodrigo discussed the next step in his plan with his Templar brothers, and all agreed that they had to dispose of Giovanni Auditore. After careful planning, the Templars were able to frame Giovanni for the crimes of treason, and had him and two of his sons — Federico and Petruccio Auditore da Firenze — arrested.
The night before the trial of the Auditore family , Rodrigo resided at Uberto's house. Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Giovanni's remaining son, came by to give Uberto his father's letters that would prove him innocent. There, Ezio noticed Rodrigo behind Uberto but unaware of his importance, the young noble paid no further attention to Rodrigo; however, he refused to stay the night at Uberto's house all the same. The following morning, Rodrigo attended the judgment and execution of Giovanni, Federico and Petruccio Auditore.
In , Rodrigo conspired to take down the leader of Florence, Lorenzo de' Medici, and his brother Giuliano. Rodrigo left the town just before the mercenaries led by Mario Auditore and his nephew Ezio attacked. Their assault resulted in the death of Vieri de' Pazzi. As the Pazzi conspirators confirmed their plan to Rodrigo, he reminded them to beware of the Assassins, and stated that the next day would be "a new dawn" for Florence.
However, Ezio thwarted the Templars' attempted takeover in Florence and killed off the remaining conspirators that Rodrigo had arranged to meet with in San Gimignano, where the Pazzi originally intended to request asylum with Rodrigo in either Venice or Rome.
Jacopo, the only survivor, attended the meeting and claimed that the blame for the failure rested with his nephew, for his impatience, and with Emilio Barbarigo , for supplying the Pazzi troops with sub-standard weaponry.
Enraged by Jacopo's insults and excuses, Rodrigo lectured his subordinate on his failure, then stabbed him in the abdomen with a stiletto, aided by an eager Emilio. Ignoring Jacopo's pleas for mercy, Rodrigo stabbed him a second time in the neck with his sword, before he called out to Ezio who had tailed Jacopo to the meeting.
Grabbed by Borgia guards, Ezio was brought into Rodrigo's sight. Sarcastically apologizing for killing Jacopo for him, Rodrigo mocked Ezio, saying that he had been doing this for far longer than the novice Assassin. He then ordered his men to kill him, but left without bothering to ensure the deed was done. Ezio swiftly killed the guards restraining him and mercifully finished off Jacopo, but by then Rodrigo had fled beyond his reach. Rodrigo on the Ponte di Rialto with the other Templars.
Soon after the Pazzi Conspiracy failed, Rodrigo returned his attention to his plans for Venice. In , he met with Carlo Grimaldi and the Barbarigo family to plan the murder of the current Doge, Giovanni Mocenigo , in order for them to seize control of Venice. During the meeting, Rodrigo chastised the Venetian Templars for making their own plans, rebuking them for their "inane prattle" as they argued over who would be the new Doge after they took Venice.
He then silenced their debates by announcing that Marco Barbarigo would be the next Doge. During this meeting, Marco questioned Rodrigo's presence in Venice, as Ezio was also there, and had already killed Emilio inside his own palazzo , but Rodrigo only replied that he felt the need to participate in his own schemes more directly, particularly after the failure of the Pazzi conspiracy.
When Silvio Barbarigo mocked the Pazzis for their failure, Rodrigo interrupted him with the words that they were a potent and venerable family reduced to rubble by a single young Assassin, the same one who now haunted Venice in search of them. After warning his humbled allies that the same fate would befall them should they underestimate Ezio, he then made his departure for Rome, allowing them to carry out his plans.
By , Rodrigo had discovered that a fellow Templar, the Ottoman prince, Cem , had found the Piece of Eden he sought — an Apple of Eden — and had hidden it on Cyprus, [3] so he sent a battalion of his men to retrieve it. Two years later, the men returned to L'Arsenale with the artifact, and Rodrigo met with the courier who was to deliver it to him in the Cannaregio District. However, prior to this, Ezio had intercepted the courier and impersonated him, in order to find and kill Rodrigo.
Rodrigo was not surprised, and readied himself to deal with Ezio personally. The two exchanged a brief conversation, in which Rodrigo claimed himself to be the Prophet, who was said to be the only one who could open the fabled Vault. The two then began an intense battle, in which Ezio ultimately emerged as the victor.
Realizing that he could not defeat Ezio on his own, Rodrigo called in a supply of his personal guards to overwhelm him. Suddenly, many of Ezio's allies appeared, all of whom revealed themselves to be Assassins.
They held off the guards to allow Ezio to re-challenge Rodrigo, who ultimately escaped before Ezio could kill him, leaving the Apple in the hands of the Assassins. The Orsi also discovered that Riario's widow, Caterina Sforza , had been entrusted the Apple for safekeeping by the Assassins, so they laid siege to the city and took the artifact by force, planning to present it to Rodrigo for extra payment. Unfortunately for Rodrigo, Ezio managed to kill both of the Orsi brothers, though the Apple eventually came into the hands of Girolamo Savonarola , who would later prove to be an arch-enemy of Rodrigo.
At around this time, Rodrigo also found out about Christopher Columbus ' plans to sail west; however he, knowing of the presence of the Americas and the treasures that lay there, wished to stop anyone from finding it before he could. For this purpose, Rodrigo arranged a meeting with Columbus in Venice, and laid a trap for him there. Ezio rushed to Columbus' aid, successfully rescuing him and thwarting Rodrigo's plans. His true intent, however, was simply to get into the Vault that lay underneath the Vatican, where he believed God resided.
In , with the death of Lorenzo de' Medici, the chaotic rule of his son and successor Piero , and with the power of the Apple he had obtained, Savonarola took control of Florence. Rodrigo repeatedly sent his men to Florence in the hopes of retrieving the Apple, though all of his attempts failed.
In , Savonarola was assassinated by Ezio, causing the Borgia family to fall into a state of chaos upon losing track of the Apple. On 28 December , Rodrigo was followed into the Vatican by Ezio for yet another assassination attempt. Ezio infiltrated the Sistine Chapel , where Rodrigo was conducting the High Mass, and attacked him from above.
