20 Biggest WTF Moments In Assassin's Creed History

20. "How D'ya Like Them Apples?" (Assassin's Creed 3)

After the close of AC 2 and all the Pope-bashing madness therein, Ubisoft must have had a long, hard think on how they were going to top such a thing.

The answer? Have a stupidly long 'prologue' that went on for a good few hours, introduce and flesh out a new assassin-type character (Haytham Kenway) and upend all expectations about who you thought you'd be controlling.

Then everything really goes off the rails, as no sooner has Haytham welcomed a new recruit to the Templar Order (quite the WTF reaction), than an achievement pops and literally states "How D'ya Like Them Apples?"

It turns out you'd been playing as a Templar the entire time. Both brilliant and ridiculous, it remains one of the original trilogy's most absurd moments - yet one that somehow resonated positively overall.
