When it comes to open-world exploration, few franchises do it better than Assassin’s Creed.
In fact, this franchise has some of the largest maps of any game out there.
Even an Assassin can find love.
Below, you’ll find the nine biggest maps of the franchise based on sizing estimations.
The sizing estimates of each map are based on official announcements, fan-based estimates, and real-world comparisons.
Running across rooftops, diving into canals, and stabbing corrupt politicians?
While the map is only around 0.37 km2, it is packed with characters and locations to explore.
Despite not having the biggest map, it’s a great place to start.
At 1.41 km2, this map is tiny by modern AC standards.
It’s fairly similar to the previous few Assassin’s Creed games, but it is just larger overall.
7Assassin’s Creed Unity - Paris
Unity may not have had a great start.
It launched with almost as manyglitchesas NCPs.
However, it aged quite well and is still one of the most well-liked games in the series.
At just 2.40 km2, Paris is smaller but way denser than most AC maps.
Syndicate might only be 3.70 km2, but something just feels very big about the industrial sprawl.
There is a lot shoved into this map.
It might even be one of the densest in the franchise.
Syndicate makes 19th-century London feel alive and breathing.
Plus, Syndicate introduces some very interesting mechanics, such as playing as both Evie and Jacob Frye.
While it might not have the biggest map, it’s worth checking out.
5Assassin’s Creed Rogue - North Atlantic
Rogue is Black Flags colder, moodier cousin.
Instead of the sunny Caribbean, youre sailing through the icy waters of the North Atlantic.
You’ll have to churn through brutal naval combat and hunt assassins.
With 70 km2 of frigid beauty, Rogue gives you tons of open ocean and snowy wilderness to explore.
This map may be one of the biggest, but much of it is unpopulated woodland.
While there is a lot of exploration, it does feel emptier than some of the other city-based maps.
That said, it’s often underrated.
4Assassin’s Creed Origins - Egypt
Origins is a massive rebuild of ancient Egypt.
Kassandra and Bayek are both iconic Assassin’s Creed protagonists.
But Origins and Odyssey offer different experiences from controls to mechanics.
The world feels alive and packed, even in the “wilderness” areas.
There are plenty of hippos to dodge!
But, much of your time is spent between two different maps.
That’s plenty of room to sail your longboat up the river and go raiding.
Ubisoft packed Valhalla with side quests, hidden treasures, and more map markers than your brain can handle.
There is simply a lot to do.
And while the games long-winded, its world is a gorgeous medieval playground.
Much of the game takes place on the ocean, which you might cover much faster than land.
Sailing between islands can take forever and often feels like an accomplishment in itself.
Whether you’re plundering forts or getting wrecked by a legendary ship, there is always something going on.
With a massive 256 km2 map, this world is stupidly big.
It’s a breathtaking world that is very full despite much of it being rural and decidedly not urban.
