In the Assassin's Creed series, which game was the first main entry, released in 2007?

Assassin's Creed was the first main entry in the Assassin's Creed series, released in 2007.

Ubisoft Montreal developed the game, while Ubisoft published it for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2007. A Windows version followed in April 2008. The game introduced the series' central conflict between the Assassins and Templars, combining historical settings with science fiction.

Players control Desmond Miles in the modern era and experience the memories of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad through the Animus. The principal historical setting is the Levant during the Third Crusade, including cities such as Masyaf, Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus.

Assassin's Creed II is sometimes mistaken for the series' starting point because it became the first widely acclaimed entry and began Ezio Auditore's story. It is actually the 2009 sequel. The original game established the parkour, stealth, investigation, and social-blending systems that became the franchise's signature features.
