10 Assassin's Creed Theories That Might Actually Be True

It was revealed in the comics, the AC2 glyph puzzles, and on the wiki that the Templars are responsible for WW2. They gave both Hitler and Roosevelt Apples of Eden to start the war, that way Abstergo could take control of the working populace. That means they’re behind the Holocaust and all the other horrors of WW2, just so they could make more money. And yes, some Assassins were working with the Templars during WW2, but only some of them. Hell, it says on the wiki that the Hitler who was cremated was actually a decoy and the real Hitler was killed by the Assassins. The Templars are not the good guys.

Man I used to love all of the subject 16 "the Truth" segments in the older games, especially in AC2 where the Glyphs are not even promoted, it felt like a hidden part of the game

Technically, Clay Kaczmarek was trapped in the Animus. The way Desmond got in the Gray was different.

The amount of possibilities this storyline has is remarkable. Especially with the Adam and Eve/biblical references, secret societies, and flexible time shift, it could shape up to be a really satisfying way to wrap up the series.

Juno & Aita were also in the Fate of Atlantis DLC in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, where they showed the other experiments Aita performed, before finally finding a way to reincarnate himself.

Ubisoft should just accept some fan theories. They don't have any direction for modern day, they just keep writing as things progress and new game gets release. They also retconned story, so might as well take help from fans would save them some bucks too.

My idea is that Desmond and layla are Adam and eve because clay says in the brotherhood truth find eve under the tree. So ive got the idea that they figure out different ways to end the circle of the sun destroying the world, while they time travel back to assassins creed 1 and learn different ways while desmond is in the animus. So they remake ac 1-3 just how they were but the modern day is desmond with layla in abstergo trying to change what happened in ac 3,while the real desmond is watched by lucy in the animus. Never mind Ac is dead Mirage sucks and i have no hope that the series will become good again. at least we have ac1-3 and the thought what could have been

When talking about Eve, you cannot ignore the AC Liberations ending where it specifically said by the human ancestors, “Eve will guide us” and detail her contributions to destroying the ISU!!

Modern day Desmond assassin missions were so cool. I wish they bring him back as a major main character

the isu didnt predict the animus. they MADE the first ever prototype of it, to try to bring back their loved one, failed and then created the first sage, trapped in eternal rebirth.

It'd be interesting to see something similar to what juno does to the player in AC syndicate. This communicates to the player that this isn't the end of either Layla or Desmond's story and that they can come back through sage's.

Since assassins creed 3 I figured they were going for a balance between the assassins and Templars ideologies is the right way to go. The conversation with Pythagoras confirmed that.

16 wasnt in the grey. He was in the animus. Boy isnt coming back.

Fun fact : The reason why Altair never got hit during the events in the game was because he most likely ran away after he got into conflict when finishing his assassinations.

If Jesus ends up playing some kinda important role in Assassin’s Creed, it REALLY needs to be tasteful, like DESPERATELY tasteful.

I only recently got to playing Valhalla (really enjoying it despite the hate towards it, though I feel the same about the other two RPGs), and this may be obvious but it struck me how Eivor experiences their visions is like a proto-animus, using chemicals to regress to the Isu days for them to experience the memories of Odin. I realise there's a different relationship there than the ancestral relationships used in the animus, but there's definitely a correlation there in furthering the lore of experiencing another person's memories through different states of consciousness.

What ubisoft is hiding from us is their ability to create a compelling side story that actually has lore and history and ties things together. They've done nothing with this stuff. I remember back in the day playing Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood and doing those glyph things. Trying to find the Apple in the old historical pictures. Reading about the histoy. Imagining all the conspiracies and what may have happened. What historical figures may have been a part of all this. It was amazing. Now it just sucks.

The everything is a simulation one was something I got hooked on back during origins because of the recordings u can listen to under each of the tombs. Essentially it means that the modern real world is like the matrix, it feels entirely real and is completely real but is still subject to a set of rules (physics as we call it) the catch is that the isu could see the ‘coding’ that forms the world and so they could control it like agent smith in the matrix. Some of these control devices are the pieces of Eden which bend the rules of physics bc the isu just understood how to.

I think of the story like this: Isu people and Isu era are like another world that exist before us, and their inner war and protection against the disaster is passing on to the current era through messengers, sages, pieces of Eden. Because the 7th method is all about reincarnation and maintaining memory, I'd like to say each Gods represent each "generation" of Isu: Christian in AC2, Egyptian gods in Origin, Atlantis and Greek gods in Odyssey, Aesir in Valhalla. In the past, the cause of existence of Templar/Order of the Ancient and Assassin's creed/Hidden Ones is because of the pieces of Eden, they both want the control the world in their own way and not really to protect the world from any catastrophe. In the present, the war between AC and Templar still exist but people from the present now also acknowledging the catastrophe (through message in the Animus, through sages), and so the assassin are trying to fight the templar along with protecting the world from any more catastrophe.

William Miles is going to look Basim dead in the eyes and say to him. I need you to bring my son back. Then boom Desmond is back.

I loved this video. my longest ongoing theories were somewhat touched on in this video. let me explain. My theory was that juno was indeed the bad guy of the series. the games indicated as much and from what I played it seemed likely. however, I later found out she "died" in the comics which I felt was a little annoying and drastically undercut her potential. my theory maintains that she is still alive still making moves behind the scenes. for those that don't know juno has a visible and tangible existence in the IT infrastructure of abstergo during rogue. You can see hints everywhere. Keep that nugget in mind. Later in syndicate you learn that abstergo is trying to replicate isu bodies and tissues. my theory says that juno was going to make a new body and then reverse bleed effect herself into that body using the animus somehow. that way she can retain all her skills and potentially her powers as well since the body is isu. then...she is able to commence with her plain of wiping the world clean and starting over as the THE isu. this would then lead the assassins and templars to join up and stop her because if SHE destroys the world then their plans don't matter. no one wins, but her. Which is why we've been seeing assassins and templars join each other's sides so we can get both contexts so when in the modern day segments this alliance is made we understand what's at stake and how we got here naturally. BUT...she's dead now...allegedly. My sub theory to this was this is how they would revive desmond since as we later find out in the later games, abstergo found him and has been keeping him on ice for a while now hoping to use his dna material for "other" purposes. Reviving him seems the mostly likely option for them since he is so crucial to the overall plan. As the story stands now, Basim indeed be that driving force to have the respective forces join up. Right now there is no boogeyman to speak of, but there has to be one out there. Ubisoft needs to start implanting the end game to AC before long. We have to end this story somehow and I hope it's a good ending.

Love your video and I love these games

The templars arent the good guys because they want peace but through control they want to able to say what you can do and think and if thats the price of "peace" i dont want it. Giving up your freedom is not an option, the assassins understand that freedom trumps everything

We all know that the only theory that is definitely true is that Ubisoft no longer gives two shits about the AC lore, plot, or consistency, they just want you to buy another Iron Man themed armor from the store for 20 bucks

Loki was God of Chaos Could Basim’s story be part of a larger story about a faction with the objective of letting humanity get destroyed? Because Assasins hope to preserve through freedom while templars hope to preserve through order. So this third faction could do the complete opposite and strive for destruction and chaos

If one of these theories is true, this would absolutely save the overall story and make all of those "bad" games worth it in the end. In any case that would make a masterpiece of a story that spread through many years.

It's interesting that you bring up Jesus. Christianity is a major reason why much of Europe moved away from paganistic Gods that have actually been used to refer to some of the Isu like Minerva and Juno. Minerva was known as the goddess of war, so that theory about Juno actually being the good one may check out. I always wondered in the back of my head about that

Some of these aren’t theories if you looked at the whole lore. Jesus wasn’t a special dude. He was a regular dude who happened upon and found a shroud of Eden. He used it perform miracles. Proto templars tracked him down and killed him. His followers used the shroud to revive him and it possibly didn’t work and the shroud was lost. This is canon. He wasn’t the second coming of the Isu. Also, Clay wasn’t “in the grey.” He used the animus too much and his mind was “trapped in the abyss.” It’s why he killed himself.

Evie isn't eve. But she is morrigan. And Jacob is Shay, "the horned god" also known as Lugh by the Irish... there's alot to go on in this theory, and I'll share more if people are interested. But I will say this. In syndicate early development, jacob and evie were sages of Victorian occult figures "morrigan" and "the horned god." And it seems that they were meant to be shay amd hope reborn. Valhalla used alot of syndicate ideas that were previously scrapped.

Something else I noticed while playing Valhalla. When they show the Isu at Yggdrasil you can see the Abstergo logo on their monitors at their seats.

Maybe this is a controversial opinion, but I really like the current world story going on in the games

Yeah in a spinoff comic where it was Desmond's son who killed her.

Can't the animus users use the animus to see the first humans and understand the eesu tach?

Multiple timelines and Minerva as the true main villain...yep can't wait for Assassin's Creed Secret Wars.

The idea that creed is related to the animus sounds weird because the creed is actually a common saying that pre dates the series

In real life there were so many other secret society factions through out history that would add considerable interesting complexity beyond the conflict between the Assassins and the Templers and the Third way and potentially there could still continue on being so many more secret society factions into the Assassins Creed storyline timeline future.

The Adam and Eve theory would be interesting, Desmond/Altair/Connor/Ezio being Adam, and other notable women being Eve,

Here is a fun thought: It is entirely possible that an elderly Bayek, or an adult Kawab helps Jesus escape to Egypt, and gets a front-row seat to his shenanigans. At the very least Mary and Joseph will arrive at the Memphis bureau with baby J.

Ehh, I'm convinced that neither the Templars nor the Assassins are entirely correct, that they misunderstand and misinterpret different concepts.

My theory is that Ubisoft has no idea what they are doing.

Since the original story is 99,9% dead i am sure we will never see true progress in the modern day, i heave given up long ago on ubisoft on AC since the last 3 game are AC in title only. Its sad but true.

I wouldn't mind to see a game or dlc that takes a look into Jesus role in the assassin's creed universe. I may not be religious but he's one of my favorite historical figures and his teachings are one's that are desirable. Like it would be cool to see his life play out while encountering assassin's and Templars, plus there's the possibility of his Devine powers being because he's a isu of some kind or is guided by them, being manipulated into thinking he was the son of God. There's a lot of possibilities which I hope they try in future games

The third way is through the Sages via Desmond's son from the canon comic books.

AC3 is my favorite AC game. Maybe I’m biased bc I’m American & I think that part in time was really cool & Conner’s dad did say they would’ve sided with the Native Americans but they also wanted peace through people having no free will. That’s bad.

i LOVE odyssey and valhalla bc ive been waiting YEARS for a game that truly focuses on the isu and we finally got 2 in a row and they did really good with them and i love how they tied them in with existing mythology/religion. i kinda but not really understand the hate against the games but personally they are in my top 5 ac games

I really hope its not a multiple timeline thing. I'd hate it.

If AC2 the "Truth" memory fragments are something to go by as well as sentiment in AC3 that both factions Templars and Assassin's have existed in one form or another for entirety of humankind's collective identity, we can see that "Templars" are descendants of Cain who appears to be (dare I say it) first "Templar/Ancient One". Garden of Eden within the AC lore can (and probably is) in one way or another cradle of Templar/Assassin never ending conflict. P.S There's way more to this theory and many other's as AC is a world of its own. There's only so much one can put into a sentence so that it doesn't become "Garden of Nonsense".

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted" except for, you know, killing civilians or walking to the wrong side of Acre too early.

Yes, I've thought that even the world outside the animus is a simulation with the goal of looking for the series of events that would save humanity from the extinction event. Kind of like avengers end game where very specific dominoes have to fall to save humanity with the simulations being run years before the extinction event happens in order to have time to alter the future. Who is running all these simulations inside simulations who knows? It could be remnants of the isu going through future predictions or humanity, I guess we'll have to see.

I love this

9:18 there also have been templars with slaves. so that is not cut and dry as you think...

The Instruments of the First Will are a third faction that has mostly disappeared ?? When did they ever appeared ? In the comics ? In vague references in the games ? They were a good idea as a faction but at best it was a “blink and you’ll miss it” concept.

In the 9:22 minutes, where's that scene from??

They fact the the god lady can talk to Desmond through ezio is crayz

When Patcice Desilet was making Assassin's Creed, there was a direction, plan and a story for theories to work. However, now ubisoft is just doing whatever will give them an excuse for more games, they never plan on finishing the present day story, they don't even seem to like the present day story. They even finished the Juno story in a comic, despite it being presented as a big deal. Theorising is pointless in this series

During the 9minutes of the video, from which games are those cinematics?

Okay I know I’m going to sound like a deep conspiracy theorist now but hear me out. The glyphs in AC2 showed so many connections to real people, situations and places. There was also them voice notes we could listen to of every day people calling their tv/phone companies to say they think they are been watched, listened to or hacked. There were so many deep theories I used to love them because it really got you thinking. Then suddenly Ubisoft stopped with all these things. It’s like they got silenced, they weren’t allowed to show us anymore.. I just found it so odd how they don’t do it anymore it used to be so interesting

What they are hiding? That they lost track and butchered AC

You all need to read the book; "Gods of Eden" by William Bramley. I'm sure the makers of this game (especially) AC2, not only read this but used much of it in the game!

4:45 - 5:08 ISU are very interesting

All I know is despite there constant disappointments…Ubisoft devs are skating on thin ice….too many truths embedded in those games that we all grew up thinking they were lies or just stories the way they connected things is very interesting

Im playing again in AC revelations and Clay for moment was thinking about leaving animus with Desmond but finally he understood that he can’t do that but my think is Clay isnt idiot in my opinion so maybe his plan could work. We don’t know much about his plan and now Desmond is without his body. Analogic situation

I already knew most of this years ago. Back before the PS4 was even created.

7:19 - 8:19 VERY FANTASTIC THOUGHT

So basically the Templar is Thanos, Thanos wanted to end suffering by destroying half of the population, and AC is the avengers who stopped Thanos and suffering continued 🤔

I feel like Ubisoft dug themselves into a narrative hole with Desmond storyline so they ended up killing him and completely invalidating his existence other than some occassional nod or cameo of the original team. But there was so much gameplay potential. Guess what Ubisoft has that is close to Assassins creed in almost every aspect, but set in a modern world? Splinter cell. So they could have merged a bit of that with Desmond's side of things making the "modern" missions way less boring.

back when ac had a good story. Rip Assassins creed 2007-2013

So in AC Valhalla when Eivor is the reincarnation of Odin would that mean that there would be a reincarnation of Evior being that Odin and Eivor was an Aesu??

You assume that the scene showing Adam and Eve running to free themselves and lead an uprising. Wrong; there's three runners. Adam and Eve are shown running from the third's POV, Eve even turns to look at the third runner at one point. It is a memory, seen through the eyes of someone who was there.

I don't know how much is it true, because I'm not an authority historian, but I noticed one thing. Everywhere where the brotherhood is active there is downfall of nations or countries. Bayek and Aya, first destroyed government of Egypt, second - of Roman Empire. Altair made it difficult for Arabic countries to stand up against Europe. Ezio destroyed a strong family, family of tyrants, of course, but again, Italy then didn't have such strong rulers with ambitious plans for country. And then there Constantinople. Edward, Shay and Connor made many troubles for colonisators - Spain, France and Britain have lost their direct authority in America. Frye twins just made bandits to rule streets of London instead of people of the templars and made things for Britain industry actually more difficult. But there is Shay, who was a templar, but he did his part for starting revolution in France. But France didn't do anything particular for development of northern colonies of America - they seek to make dependent people, not ensuring their prosperity. And brotherhood had strong bond with french government in this period of time and made many things for it. At least how Rogue is showing it. And one more thing. It's seems to me that the complex of these actions of the brotherhood indirectly prepared soil for both world wars. Does it means that A. H. was the result of brotherhood influence? It's would be weird to see brotherhood and the order to take actions against common enemy. Dictator who used both ideologies and fooled both sides to make his own world order. I think it's interesting point of view on conflict between brotherhood and the order

First scene reminds me of Attack on Titan

Honestly, Ubisoft doesnt know what they are doing...

It's funny to think that ubisoft created a franchise they doesn't even know how to end lmao.

6:40 how can I unlock this scene in AC Valhalla????

They never say the reader is Desmond that in itself is a theory

The ending of valhalla where desmond and layla meet i doubt creators will do anything about it and doubt the fans will be happy about it they are never happy no matter what assassin's creed game is made

I always thought It would have been better for the franchise If Desmond didnt give his life to save the world, and future games with the modern day story in a post apocalyptic world

8:29 - 9:21 That’s why I’m interested in The Templars

The ISU is my favorite part of the series, its so strange cause most people I know could give two shits about the modern day stuff

Spider alert ⚠️ Love the video.. but it has already been shown in Valhalla who the real bad guy is.. it's Alethia also known as Angrboda.. who is the one who brought Loki back to life so they can rule the world together and bring back their children. And Juno may have been killed in one form.. but Valhalla and Odyssey also showed that there are many clones, and many forms of the Isu, because Juno appears in Valhalla as Hyrrokin, the Jotun. Mother of Alethia aka Angrboda, and Gunlodr, who has yet to show herself again, other than when she was using the Elven machine in the cave under Suttungrs mountain. And it's also a theory that Suttungr could also be another form of Jupiter aka Zeus. It's easy when you think about it. Because in ancient Greece "Alethia" was thought to mean "bringer of truth" but her true name. "Angrboda" means "bringer of doom" and some think Juno used to be Hera, married to Zeus.. but others think its more likely Juno was a clone, or daughter of Hera, or daughter of Minerva, but Minerva couldn't have children which is why she was able to stay a virgin.. however they had cloning machines in Atlantis that could make a person from a strand of hair or single cell of DNA. I think Juno was daughter of Minerva aka Athena, making her Zeus granddaughter.. so doubtful that she was married to Zeus, but not impossible, but it also means the Jotnar "Giant Jotun" was not Zeus at all. And Zeus was more than likely Odin, or Thor. Or possibly Aeita.. but again doubtful, cos he was married to Juno, Zeus's granddaughter.. however Persiphone was married to her Uncle Hades.. so who knows? They did do incest as long it was fairly distant relatives. Like they didn't marry sister or brother.. but cousins and uncles etc was common among ancients and neanderthals. They literally didn't know any better. They wasn't as educated in some ways as we are now. We must not judge yesterday's people by today's standards.

I will love to see a AC game with Jesus in it

Adolf Hitler was responsible for creating the Animi and his work was stolen within a scientific lab facility in Berlin, Germany, whereas Adolf Hitler was assassinated and his documents, manuscripts of beneficial blue prints indicating the origin and existence of genetic engineering and using the genome helix sigma signals to intervene past events. Basically (Copy and pasted from wiki) Early attempts During the 1930s, the Templars underwent the construction of a mysterious device in Norway using the Uranprojekt, the Nazi's atomic endeavor used as a cover for their operation. Led by SS General and Templar Gero Kramer, the project aimed to create a machine that allowed a user to view their ancestors' memories. Using knowledge obtained from an Apple of Eden to develop the device, the Order's main goal was to delve into the genetic memories of captured Assassins in order to locate the Pieces of Eden with which their ancestors had been in contact. ACCo Die Glocke Die Glocke in 1943 Initially designed by Nikola Tesla, Die Glocke was an anti-gravity system capable of generating a wormhole, which is a window on the past of the individual seated on the device's chair. Tesla was able to construct the machine by coupling his own inventions with technologies stolen from the Allies by the Nazis. The Apple of Eden was also integrated into Tesla's invention with the energy produced by the heavy-water reactor being channeled into it. A dozen times bigger than what would become its successor, Die Glocke earned its name because its central part had the shape of a bell. By 1943, the proto-Animus was operational with Kramer using it on himself. However when the Templar tried to use it on the Assassin Eddie Gorm, something went horribly wrong. Due to Gorm's 21st century descendant Maxime reliving his memories in the Animus at the same time the machine was activated, their consciousnesses were switched across time and they woke up in each other's bodies.

Did marvel steal the yidrisil world tree idea with it representing different timelines for loki season 2?

It is sad that the eesu died and the first civilization is gone but maybe it can be rebuild

The Reality is that Ubisoft are The Templars.

Every time a franchise fails to follow yheir own story, its all of sudden a different option in a multiverse. I really hope this isn't the case.

Here's a theory for you: the present day shit sucks. The only good parts are the past bits.

Assassins Creed: Into the Multiverse

3:14 - 3:56 This could be interesting

Ive seen assasins creed fans being mad at the multiple time lines one cause it seems over done and stupid maybe, and I partially agree but Far cry has multiple as well now.

AC Odyssey literally shows how much Layla doesn't die in Valhalla

These aren’t theories. Theories are hypotheses which are supported by evidence. These are just things that could happen. Speculations. I don’t think there’s much point trying to theorise about the AC universe anymore. The meta narrative has become so convoluted. There are so many dropped plot points. Too many teams working on the franchise with not enough coordination between them. The meta narrative is a hot mess.

11:06 - 11:39 Interesting

Most of these are at least plausible but I think 2 are straight up wrong... kinda. I'll start with the one that's "definitely wrong." The Templars are NOT "THE good guys." Based on their methods and stuff. Unless you argue that the ends always justify the means, the idea is just absurd. They simply aren't pure evil. The world is more complicated than that, both in game and irl. As they say, "it's not only black and white." They may sometimes do good things or have good intentions... and you could argue Shay was pretty much a good guy... and at least the Assassin Grand Master at the time was bad. Though he didn't start that way. He got corrupt. Go figure. Similar to Al Mualim. It's almost like, and this is a total shock... The world isn't that simple. Ooh. As for the other theory, the reason I say it's not "definitely wrong" is I believe they may retcon it so the theory is accurate. Or perhaps already did? But I don't believe the Creed initially "predicted" the Animus not applied to that. Why would it? I mean, with all Altaïr learned, he could've... but we didn't learn about that until the 4th game, Revelations. No way it applied to the Animus during the 1st game. If you could point to other evidence, besides the Creed (and not use the Creed as supporting evidence), I'd find the theory far more plausible. And even though I don't believe the Creed originally applied to the Animus, and honestly I'd say like 85% chance it still doesn't... I still find the theory plausible with a very minor retcon. They don't even technically need to "retcon" previous games in an obvious way... they just need to pretend it was the idea all along and "retcon" their intentions. It would be an out-of-universe retcon, really lol. Which might just be a first. Of course, we can't know for sure I'm right, probably. I'm not an original Dev, nor do I know any. I have no way to ask them, and I'd think most others don't, either. Plus, how many would know the original intent there? A writer? Game director, maybe? Would they even remember at this point? Was it important enough not to forget? And even if someone could ask them, can we get that answer in a MojoPlays Confirmed Theories video or something so I might learn if I'm right or not? Lol. I'll just continue operating as though I'm correct until proven otherwise. After all, I thought I was wrong once... but I was mistaken. I'm right 97% of the time so who cares about the other 4% anyway?

imagine an Avengers type of thing where all the assassins meet each other and team up lol. If that happens then it will start a new timeline completely different from the rest and maybe in this timeline the world wouldn't end.

My theory is that by the second game we should have been playing in the future...but no.

This fictional universe is older than the MCU... Time to wrap it up

Most of those are pretty ridiculous even for the canon
