Assassin’s Creed is a great game. It’s one of my favorites from the last couple of years actually. Well, in the most recent issue of Game Informer, there’s a story that gives out a good chunk of details about the upcomiong sequel. From the sound of it, Ubisoft Montreal has managed to take a lot that worked on the first game and refine it to make a game that sounds as if it has the potential to be better.
In AC2, the setting has moved from the Middle East in the 12th century, to Italy in the 15th century. This time, you play as Ezio Auditore de Firenze, who has a very different background from Altair in the first game. Ezio is a young noble and a member of a powerful Italian Noble family, and his journey to becoming an assassin I’m sure will be interesting to see. Ubisoft is of course keeping a lot of the details under wraps right now, but just some of the new features that I’ve read about have definitely put AC2 firmly onto the Must Play list…
- More variety in your missions
- More variety in weapon types
- The ability to swim and hide in water
- The ability to take weapons away from enemies
- The ability to assassinate targets from cover
- TWO hidden blades
- You can use a DaVinci flying machine
- Leonardo DaVinci serves as a sort of Q type character for Ezio
Everything I’ve read about the game suggests to me that Assassin’s Creed 2 will be just as good, if not better than the original, and that’s definitely something worthy of attention. If you want to check out the full story, just look for the May issue of Game Informer…
