In a land and sea of chaos, created by gods and humans and torn apart by conflict, players will encounter the great figures of ancient Greece and experience a page in the history of the formation of Western civilization.

In terms of the game system, the game adopts a revolutionary system that puts "player choice" at the forefront, something that has never been seen in the previous "Assassin's Creed" series. Players interact with unique characters in their adventures, making various decisions and shaping their own destiny. Players can also customize their equipment and learn newly added special abilities to create a protagonist with abilities that suit their own style of play. The player can travel throughout Greece and fight instinctively on land and sea, aiming to become a true hero who will leave his name in the legends.

In "Bloodlines," the concluding part of "The Legacy of the First Blade," the hero finally finds the mastermind behind this story arc and confronts those who are trying to eradicate the defiled. He fights to protect the legacy of the Assassins.

Each episode of "Legacy of the First Blade" adds new abilities to the skill tree. While the Assassin ability "Veil of Death" was added in Episode 1, "The Hunted," and the Hunter ability "Rapid Fire" was added in Episode 2, "Legacy of Shadow," Episode 3 adds a new Warrior ability, "Wrath of the Bloodline." This ability allows the player to use Leonidas' spear to inflict multiple Warrior damage on the enemy.
