The Best City From Each Assassin’s Creed Game

- The Assassin’s Creed series has always been great at one certain aspect. And that is recreating and designing the cities. Whether it's the rendition of Rome in Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, the portrayal of Victorian London in Syndicate, or even the likes of Alexandria in origins, every city in every game has been beautifully recreated from the ground up. That’s why in this video, I want to go over the best cities from each assassin’s creed game. Do remember this video is my own opinion and you’ll definitely have a different favorite city.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

Fun fact: after the fire in Norte Dame Ubisoft offered to let the French government use their model of the cathedral to help them rebuild it because of how accurate it was in AC Unity
They also gave the game for free to download for a certain time to preserve the Notre Dame design
thats bullshit, because ingame model has much much less details (you can search comparison of the ingame model and real life model before the fire)
@shadyjonechka4550 I don't care really, they offered to share and preserve the model and I got to play the last good AC.
Source: trust me bro
@@DutchSancho but they didn’t! thats a myth :)
London in Syndicate rarely gets enough credit, most people tend to overlook it because they hate Syndicate. The game may have its flaws but the city itself was so lovingly created and there's so much attention to detail that you can easily miss if you're not paying attention, you can literally just walk around the streets and alleys and parks and listen to the random NPCs going about their daily lives, there's people having entire conversations, workers doing their jobs, and they even have daily schedules and everything.
AC Syndicate is the best AC game I've played and I'm saying this after just finishing Origins.
@@Ignoziboth games are lousy bro. You aren't a true fan. Ezio collection is based Italian spirit
@jsm530 "you aren't a true fan"
"Based"
Any other things from the mid 2010s you wanna say?
FML 😂😂
@@jsm530ain't no way bro said that someone's not a true fan because he liked a different game from the same franchise
@@jsm530 Move on, lil bro.
Constantinople in Revelations is absolutely beautiful
Not constantinople its İstanbul
@@emrepalamut7039It is now, but in the 16th century, it was called Constantinople.
It is not even real constantinople, I have no clue what the hell game designers were thinking.
There are bunch of landmarks covered with 19th century semi-rotten downtrotten houses and palm trees. PALM threes in eastern Europe, crying out loud.
@@Alfie__2003it was actually Constantiniyye, literally "Constantin-ia".
@@Alfie__2003it was Konstantiniyye tho
I got to visit Florence, Rome, and Venice at the start of this year. You can actually climb the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and for New Year's Eve they did a count down on the Piazza della Signoria along with having acrobats perform along its walls.
You must've had a great time there.
@@brokenbridge6316 I did. Lots of art work and landmarks and cities to see, things to do like glass blowing and riding electric scooters and listening to tours, and great food to eat like gelato. Though watching out for cars around Florence and Rome was annoying and sellers will constantly push you to buy something from them especially when you start walking away from their shop.
I loved Florence when I went last year. I've read the cathedral isnt worth going inside, but you can never get enough of looking at it. Queues are redicous also.
Florence, although touristy, feels much more real than Venice. Venice, much like Dubrovnik, feels more like a museum/Disney Land than a lived in city. Still amazing though.
I can also recommend Bologna as a very nice and much less touristy city in the area.
I've been to Roma and Aosta in the past and both are great in their own ways also. Aosta obviously being much smaller and very industrial outside of the old centre. There's just something about Italian cities and culture.
@@Joshua-fi4jiVenice is a lot less busy than Florence and Rome with it being smaller and especially with there being no cars around in the streets and the alleyways. It's honestly creepy at nighttime how empty the alleyways are. I also would have liked to see San Gimigano.
@@connorwiederich I meant that a higher proportion of those visiting Venice are tourists.
Florence, whilst busy and touristy, is still a fully functioning city. Most Venice residents live on the mainland, which is effectively a different city in all but name. The majority of the locals commute to Venice daily for work.
I arrived in Venice at night and can agree on that. I think Venice is trying to reduce the number of tourists now, but it's probably too late.
On a personal note, I wouldn't want to live in Venice even if it wasn't so touristy. It's really nice and pretty and everything, but realistically you have no green space and getting to the mainland would be a hassle. Nice place to visit though.
Rome is bustling and touristy, but tourists are definitely the minority.
I'd love to drive my car to Italy and go down and up the peninsula one day. May have to wait till I retire though as I'm not sure I could get enough time off work to do that justice.
I absolutely agree in AC Odyssey that Mykonos was stunning. All the islands in general were beautiful, such as Keos, Kos, Naxos and Paros
odyssey got a lot hate cause of story and rpg elements and lack of assasin stuff, but for me world was most beautifull im massive fan of ancient greece and rome, and that felt like dream come true, for some who were into egypt origins was best, for it was odyssey, after main quest i spend months randomly logging to run around map and explore furthest places on map and since it had biggest map in entire AC, there was a lot of stuff
@NostalgicMem0ries yes me too!! I love the Greece the most and they put so much love and effort into creating ancient Greece and I'm so grateful coz it's the most beautiful world in a video game
I too loved Odyssey and exploring the place, but some of the islands to the east (where the game doesn't send you) felt rushed.
I somewhat wish they included less islands and focused on making the ones they had more detailed.
I think I remember really liking Argos and Corinth as well.
My favourite place in Odyssey is Seriphos. It is just a nice small quiet island with side quests only. Like a hidden gem. I also love the rest of the islands, especially crete
There was Versailles in Unity but it wouldn’t matter Paris is one of the best city hands down I would also say Paris is the best city in Valhalla
Origins and Odyssey are STUNNING. I highly recommend playing both at least once in your life
Odyssey sucks ass
Alexandria was stunning in origins!
Standing on the lighthouse and seeing all of Alexandria and just the shadow of the pyramids in the distant was so sick. I wonder what Athen and Sparta look like
I may have been introduced to the license with AC 2, but I have to admit that I'll never forget what it felt like to play Origins/Odyssey. I spent more time wandering around than doing quests, and taking screenshots every 5 minutes. I was truly amazed. Incidentally, to a lesser extent, Mirage is also visually stunning.
Origins is the best open world map I’ve ever played on
Would love to see the best historical landmarks and locations, people don’t really make videos on the ‘virtual tourism’ in these games, they’re unique in that there’s no other game that lets you explore Renaissance Italy or Revolutionary Paris, maybe a video about the best landmarks in every city in ac
you can explore latest 4 5 AC games with discovery mode, it lets you explore cities and landmarks
Let's be honest, you can't just pick one particular city in AC Odyssey to be your favourite. They all were designed in such an awesome way and the view of the Mediterranean sea only adds to it 😍
(yes, it's the Mediterranean sea and not an OCEAN 😂)
I love that you chose Jorvik in Valhalla!!! I live in York and I've tried to go to places that I can recognise in the game that I've been in real life. It's so cool to know I'm walking these same streets every single day.
Great video, mate. I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved Victorian London in AC Syndicate. Recently went back to this game only to explore London further. And had a great time exploring it.
I hope they do Baghdad justice.
Agreed
Im from acre the city in assassin creed 1
Stop using big words mate you’re not in a English class
@@lucius8686ok just because you can’t comprehend 6th grade vocab doesn’t mean everyone is talking like a nerd
@@RetroSpectral76 your such a nerd
Great picks! I have a soft spot for Cyrene in Origins even though it is smaller than Alexandria. I enjoyed how densely packed it was and it was nice to see more of that Roman influence. In Odyssey I definitely think there are a lot of great cities throughout the map, and my favorite might be Chalkis City. It is small, but you can see it right after leaving Kefalonia and I like the look of it.
Ooh chalkis city is a nice one. Very small and the temple at the top stands out.
Glad someone called out Cyrene. It’s always stayed with me because of the journey to get there. A long ride north from Siwa, I remember traveling on the road and seeing a bunch of green in the distance. Thinking to myself “woah what place is this?”. The Green Mountains, quickly became one of my favorite areas and as you go further get to Cyrene. With its notable Roman architecture, always thought of it as a mini Alexandria.
If you ever go to Kefalonia in real life, avoid Sami. The ruins aren't much to look at and the modern city just feels like a tourist scam.
The hiking trails around it and up the Acropolis are nice though and they love Nicolas Cage there - locals were extras in Captain Correlis Mandallin as it was filmed on the island.
Kefalonia is a nice island, apart from Sami, and one of the less overly-touristy Greek islands.
My favourite cities in Origins are Krokodilopolis and Memphis. Memphis is probably the better of the two due to the architecture and scenery. Runner-ups are Letopolis, Heraklieon and Arsinoe.
I feel like the way Rogue's world was built is perfect for AC games, you have plenty of space for exploration and naval combat, on top of a densely populated city
how about do a rank of top favorite cities (personal opinion)
Taco bell bean burrito

Can I also get a baja blast with that
Being from York (Jorvik) I really want to play Valhalla just to explore my hometown within the game. Great video!
9th-century Jorvik is a lot different than 21st-century York. You won't know it is York if it didn't say the name. By the way, I love that city in real life.
I know that the city is really different because I know the history of my hometown, but I still want to explore it in the game@@mrdth1987
I played syndicate as a kid and was the first game I played in the AC series, I enjoyed it a lot and didn't notice any of the flaws and I really enjoyed playing as the Frye Twins, and now I am going through all the og ones, 2's my favourite so far ❤
It's just incredible what assassins creed has to offer. I hope this series never ends, there are still so many settings I want to explore, the list is endless.
I’d love to see the series take on East/West Berlin throughout the Cold War. I know it’s a more modern setting but that was a period where spying and espionage was much more preferred to outright warfare, so I think it could work if done right.
I’d love an AC in a modern setting but I don’t think an Assassin can withstand MG-42 fire
Sadly unless they find a way to add gun combat to ac there's no way we are getting a game based past the 1800s
@@YaBoyN3XUSyes but they can‘t withstand direct cannonshots either, so it evens out😂
@@turtlethewurtle4656 I'm with @morsecode980 here. Cold War Berlin is a great setting, because guns are not that prevalent, since we're talking about espionage. The whole game would be one big, non-stop stealth mission.
I just started playing ac2, and i was blown away with the accuracy and the beauty of florence. Around 1 year ago i visited florence and it is one of the most stunning citys I have ever been to. For someine who started playing ac when syndacate came out this has been an amazing introduction to the older ac games.
ac2 is by far the best ac game
@@rgorman8189 II+Brotherhood, I always link them as one game (if it was published today it would be a single game for sure). But yea, I played most of the games from franchise, never had more fun than in those two. Sure, Ezio was a bit op in BH, but whole game worked and looked like charm. Also, Unity is low-key underrated, I know it had problems on release, but that is the last stealthy AC game (haven't tried Mirage yet). All in all, my favorite game ever :)
Congratulations dude, amazing video about those magniphics games, im in love of them. Everyone is different and special for me, THANKS for your video !!
How does this dude not have more subscribers his videos are amazing
Fr though
Because people don't subscribe?
The fact you just chose York for your favourite Valhalla city is one reason I love you as a creator. It may not be as grand as London or Winchester but the way it captures the essence of what York essentially was over 1000 years ago is beautifully well done.
One thing you could have done for unity and syndicate was pick the favourite district since there are a lot that are quite distinct from each other. And there are many districts for each game
That unity ass goofy af leap of faith kiled me XD
Istanbul and Venice were my favourites in terms of parkour
True dedication for assassin's creed of hidden one, like your videos man
Cities in ac are a marvel to look at and explore
Ay stay winning ! Amazing video
Acre, Florence, Rome, Constantinople, New York, Havana, New York, Paris, London, Alexandria, Athens, Jorvik
Great video bro. Rank the dlcs next maybe?
Great pick on Jorvik, I love that city
Odyssey map is amazing. I really like Mykonos too, I would visit it just to hang around and listen to the ocean.
Most underrated AC channel
Venice will always be my favorite AC city. Music in that city (Dream of Venice) is memorable as well.
The music flaring up when you see Damascus was just...perfect.
Playing through syndicate right now and I am completely impressed by London.
I love how everyone ignores Versailles' existence in Unity xD
I play odyssey once a year just to experience the Ancient Greek world.
They did an absolutely fantastic job in recreating Ancient Greece
Sparta for me in Odyssey is what blew my mind. It’s so fucking epic
Origins and odyssey are two of the most beautiful games I’ve played
I'd love to see you and Master assassin play unity together and just go over (what place they should revisit or go next with the future of AC)😊
Good video👍
I just wish you would have showed the other cities in each game so we could compare.
Something like a brief clip or image.
man i really love ac unity, one of the best in the series
Mykonos was terrific, but In terms of underrated cities, and i'm surprised not many people mentioned it, I have to give points to Korinth from AC Odyssey.
Such a good series of video games. Can't wait for mirage!
Man the odyssey is sick , the map is so beautiful and colorful , 😍
I have a soft spot for Cyrene in Origins. It looked amazing! In Odyssey, it’s difficult because the game is overloaded with great scenery. It’s insane. For Valhalla, it’s close between Jorvik and Winchestre.
Same here. There's something special about Cyrene and the whole Cyrenaica region in general.
nice Video bro.
I’ve never got into AC series until now and main reason I’ve gotten into series was the accuracy of the cities and local dev has put into. Historical events were also cool to see.
The ac 2 opening was nostalgic
Love traveling to Europe and having the feeling that I've been there before, all because of this series.
happy to see london from syndicate get some love. that game may not have been perfect but it was damn beautiful.
I really like acre in ac1. I like the blue tint, I love that big leap of faith, I love the targets, and something small is the monks wear hoods so I feel like I blend in better with them
Jorvik is a great city, especially in the order hunt.
My favorite part of Alexandria is the library of Alexandria because Ubisoft had to use the`re imagination.
City-wise Syndicates London is by far my favorite. I managed to wander around in the city 3 years ago especially in Westminster without much help of Google maps just because of the detailed ingame experience
The first time i played Assassin's creed 4, i 100% Havana before even starting the story because of how fun it was to explore
I did the same thing though more out of determination to get all the collectibles.
Very excited to see what cities we can go to in Japan!
What if you made a list of your favorite view point locations in each game??
subscribed
I think I can consider myself lucky for having visited locations from every single game from the AC franchise in real life so far. It is worth to visit each and every one of them and see the difference between the game and the real city.
If I had to choose my favourites, they would be Jerusalem, Athens and Rome for their history and landmarks. My least favourite, maybe Alexandria or Havana which are sadly not being taken care of, but still worth to see at least once in life. However, all of them are so different from each other, so many different cultures and with so much history behind...
In AC Rogue, there’s actually two major cities, New York and Albany. And for those like me who live in Quebec, Percé is really cool with the very great depiction of le Rocher percé, which was less eroded in 1756-58 than in 2024
I might be biased as a Libyan but my favorite city in Origins was Cyrene. So beautiful!
How about a video ranking the games by modern day? Even Unity and Syndicate still do some interesting things with Unity having the glitched server jumps and Syndicate giving you access to Lydia Frye and the two World Wars for a change of scenery, both of which happen through the memory simulation so count as modern day.
Same with you! I hate New york in ac3, but i love it in rogue because the city has a lot of strict areas, and the guard will immediately trigger... for ac4 i prefer havana and kingston... havana because of Parkour and kingston because of enemies' numbers... nassau is great, but it is kinda small and had fewer enemies roaming
Agreed on kingston. Always came back to this city to fight the guards lol
Underrated city is Lisbon in Rogue and the way you have to escape the Earthquake was fun. Wish I could’ve had more content to explore that city.
Playing Valhalla in the fall and winter just hits different
Fact for Travelling Italy - You could go by Plane to Napoli, stay 5 days there and explore that Area, take the Train (1h drive) and go to Rome, stay in Rome for 4 Days atleast and then take the Train to Firenze (1.30h drive) and stay 3 Full Days there and then take the train to Venice (2h ride) and stay for 2 Days in Venice. There you can leave by plane again
Great video , but I must say ( and as you said is anyone choice) in ac2 I prefer Venice maybe it is just because I actually been to Venice as my honeymoon so closer to my heart
London from AC:Syndicate is still my favourite to date. Just so immersive and felt so beautifully realised.
U should do a rank of your favorite gadgets
That Iconic scene from AC2 still slaps
The city in Revelations isn't called Cappadocia, that's the name of the reagion in Turkey. The city is called Derinkuyu.
Paris in Unity looked like a beautiful painting ❤
Dead kings for unity had something similar to the cave system if I remember correctly it was done pretty well in my opinion
I have a question: What's your favorite Landmark to Parkour on in this franchise? For me it's the Pyramids. Sliding off one from the very top is so fun.
16:28 has happened to every one of us at least once haha
Fyi, that "empty space" in Boston in AC3 is Boston Common. It was one of the first public parks in the country.
11:37 thats why the grappling hook exists my guy
Just wanted to point out that AC Unity also features Versailles, which is a city just next to Paris, where is located the famous Château de Versailles. It used to be the place where kings like Louis the XIVth lived.
Florence has such a VIBE to it and I love it.
for me, the best city in all AC game is Korinthia mainly because there's the temple of aphrodite. beutiful view. i literally legit spend 30 minute watching the city and legit run around the city for an hour just looking at the city from diffrent angle.
2:22 This is the scene that cemented Assassin's Creed as one of the legendary games.
you should really do Rpg city map ranking, this will be very interesting, included with dlc
AC brotherhood was the game the intrduced me to AC and whole of GAMING back in 2013. I have played it more times than I can count and still think that Brotherhood is the MOST BALANCED assassins creed game that exist.
The inclusion of Stealth, Social Stealth and Combat along with fellow assassins brother felt like we are not juts playing as one protagonist but an actual Master Assassin who can command a small army of assassins.
The setting of Rome, The ambience sound we get for different regions, the characters, the story. Yes, they could have made it a little longer but it was still amazing just to play.
Syndicate had a great setting but I feel the story could’ve been better, London was great though.
hey man, for a video idea how about ranking every Assassin's creed game? (your opinion ofc)
There is also the Versailles City in Unity but Paris still wins by a longshot.
People always forget about Versailles lol, but yes, Paris still wins.
@@TheAssassinscreedpro I can see why with how small it is. I just remembered it cause it was where Arno was raised.
But it was a perfect tutorial area. I remember playing it the first time and I was stunned how beautiful the game and the city of Versailles were. And then they throw you into Paris which was just another dimension.
@@krixxusjg7452 That is a good point. Plus I guess the part with being thrown in prison and escaping is the first time we see Paris explains why we don't see the title drop until that sequence.
You have to play Assassin's Creed 3 again if you look at the story mode when Connor gets his Rope Dart in the background you can see all the Assassin's Creed outfit
Florence in AC 2 is so nostalgique for me especialy his theme
if there is something that Ubisoft does well, it's the maps in these games, they are beautiful
I can't wait to get my hands on Assassin's Creed Mirage so I can explore Bagdad during the reign of the Abbasid Caliphate.
I like Lunden in Valhalla for its density and references but Jorvik for scale
I think, i prefer Memphid in AC Origins
Westminister Abbey, my favourite UK landmark
I have played practically all of the mainline Ass creed games and London is by far the most beautiful and realistic, from the rainy cobbled quiet streets of the alleyways to the vast feeling of the industrial revolution, from the lower class urchin children playing in the gutters to the lords and ladies walking around the grounds of Westminster. Even the ambient soundtracks like Ave Maria that soothingly play as you explore the city, with all it's secrets and beautiful scenery with amazing details everywhere you look.
Bro why did you have to play that Black Flag music for so long. Now I have to play it again😭
origins vs odyssey comparison next?
Read my mind.
Noice
Isn't there also Versailles (not sure if I spelled it right) in Unity? Or is that just a part of Paris?
