China is the first game in the Assassin's Creed Chronicles trilogy.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China follows Shao Jun, an Assassin seeking revenge and the restoration of her Brotherhood in sixteenth-century China. The game uses a side-scrolling format rather than the fully three-dimensional open-world design associated with the main series.
China was released in 2015 as the first chapter of the Chronicles project. It was followed by Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India, which features Arbaaz Mir, and Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia, which follows Nikolai Orelov.
The trilogy's compact titles can be confused with Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, another side-scrolling or portable-focused spin-off with a different protagonist and setting. The three Chronicles games are linked by their visual style and stealth-focused platforming, but each tells a separate historical story in a different region.
