Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is the first installment in the Chronicles series by Ubisoft, with the other two games being dedicated to India and Russia. The game is a two-dimensional platformer with an agile camera that can be tilted. The player takes control of Shao Jun, a disciple of Ezio Auditore, who returns to China to fight against the local Templar clan called Eight Tigers during the Ming Dynasty rule.

The game features parkour elements, stealth mechanics, and various weaponry options to defeat the waves of enemies encountered. The game takes place in China provinces like Na'an and Macau, and it is composed of twelve episodes. Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is reminiscent of the original Prince of Persia series and offers an action-packed gameplay experience.
