Though the Pieces of Eden have always featured in the Assassin’s Creed games ever since Altair fought for one in the first installment, not only have they often simply been MacGuffins in the plot, but the use of the Isu to explain aspects of human religion and mythology doesn’t always quite align with the strengths of the rest of the games. Part of the problem, of course, is that there have been twelve major Assassin’s Creed games released so far since 2007, and the formula of the games was already well-established after Ezio’s story ended in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. As Assassin’s Creed has expanded as a franchise and visited different eras, the Isu have been the origins of the Greek Gods in Odyssey, the Roman gods in the ancient history of Ezio’s story in Italy. The fact that the games almost always focus on some iteration of the Assassin-Templar war, for example, sometimes undermines their abilities to tell compelling stories when players know the balance of power in that conflict cannot change if the franchise is going to continue to focus on it.

Adam and Eve are now considered proto assassins as is anyone that upheld Assasin ideals before the order was created. Erhältlich ab 10. Ubisoft has few choices but to expand upon the lore already established and to apply it to different time periods. While the last game presented a unique opportunity to explore the Isu, particularly with their hybrid experiments as explanations for the Minotaur and Medusa in Assassin's Creed Odyssey among other famous mythological hybrids, it has another troubling implication for the new games. For example, if Eivor, the protagonist of Valhalla, were to hear stories of storms on their journey from Scandinavia to Britain that the Norse would identify as connected to Njord–god of the wind and sea–then players would already be able to infer that any actual appearance by Njord would be an Isu.
