The second and third episodes of Assassin's Creed Chronicles are set to finally release in early 2016.

Set in 19th-century India and early 20th-century Russia, the episodes conclude a trilogy begun by Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, which launched in April 2015.

Historically, the games will examine the First Anglo-Sikh War and Russia's October Revolution.

Chronicles is a 2D sidescroller series that brings the trademark Assassin's Creed gameplay to one fewer dimension.

It was initially announced as part of the season pass for Assassin's Creed: Unity in 2014.

Gameplanet's Chris Brown gave the China episode a 6/10, praising its visuals and core gameplay focus but bemoaning its unoriginality and lack of story.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India and Russia launch on January 12 and February 9, respectively, on new-gen consoles and PC; a trilogy pack will be available on new-gen consoles from February 9 and on the PS Vita from April 5.
