"Today marks the release of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, the final tale of Ezio and Altair. It finalises the groundwork for Desmond’s last stand against Abstergo and the Templars in 2012′s Assassin’s Creed 3.

With four major console games released, several smartphone iterations, as well as DS and PSP offshoots, its a very good time to recap the essentials of the Assassin’s Creed story.

Enjoy Ubisoft‘s latest video as you ready yourself to play Revelations, and see if you can guess whe..."

"Battle of Forlì is the first of two DLC extensions planned for Assassin's Creed II. It comprises the first of the two "corrupted memories" of the Animus (DNA sequence 12), and sees Niccolò Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza fighting alongside Ezio to protect a piece of Eden from the Orsi brothers and the Templars. Battle of Forlì contains six new missions, in which Ezio will use Da Vinci’s flying machine once again. As the title suggests, this first DLC package takes place in the region of Forlì."

"The launch trailer introduces Assassin’s Creed II’s protagonist as he states his reason for being an assassin, and the vengeance it will one day bring through his narration. A number of aggressive combat manoeuvres are demonstrated, along with the first official video footage released for a number of Leonardo Da Vinci’s impressive machines and inventions."

The last Developer Diary for the game Assassin's Creed II, Home Sweet Home, has been released.

Assassin's Creed II is a highly anticipated sequel to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed.

"The short, which was made in conjunction with Sin City and 300 FX house Hybride, tells the story of Giovanni Auditore - the father of Ezio, Assasin's Creed II's protagonist - in the running up to the second game's opening.

"Back at E3 Ubisoft announced that in junction with Assassin's Creed 2 a series of live action shorts would be released. With the folks who did the effects for the film 300 at the helm a lot of people were interested to see the world of AC2 brought to live and expanded.

After watching the first trailer for this endeavor I'm not exactly sure what to think. At times it looks cool with shots looking like they were ripped out of the game but at times everything just looks really off."

Assassin Creed 2's latest Dev Diary shows some brutal, intelligent and realistic combat with a little taste of their dynamic combat system. Not just your daily hack and slash anymore!

Wouldn't it be pretty sweet to say one of your good friends is Leonardo Da' Vinci? And wouldn't it be better to say that he makes invents crazy gadgets for you? yeah it would be, and Ezio is the only one who can say that.

It may only be a small step up from the teaser trailers, but 11 seconds of a target render trailer for Assassin's Creed 2 has come online via Youtube. It doesn't show much else besides the protagonist climbing up and then leaping down from a rooftop, but hopefully more will be revealed at E3.

"With easily five months remaining until release, raising awareness is clearly one of Ubisoft’s top priorities. Although strikingly similar to a video already released for the Hardcore Gamer audience, this new trailer will become part of a new advertising campaign throughout May aimed at a more general audience, and so has reportedly received tweaks for less discerning audience."
