Yes, the franchise juggernaut is back for another go, fresh(ish) from its last world-conquering outing, 2020’s Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. In that one, you played a Viking on a mission to pillage their way through Europe. In this one, you play a street thief on a mission to pillage his way through the ancient city of Baghdad.
