How many Assassin’s Creed games are there?

When you think of games made by Ubisoft, the Assassin’s Creed series will likely be the first you think of, especially if you have been following the company since the PS3/Xbox 360 era.

That being said, how many times has a new Assassin’s Creed game been unleashed into the wild? Here are all of the games in the series, including spin-offs, but not re-releases, nor DLC packs.

The upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Infinity could mark a huge departure for the series, as it’s a live-service platform that will act as a hub for future games, including the multiplayer modes.
