Assassin’s Creed : Revelations

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations


Assassin's Creed: Revelations is an upcoming video game in the Assassin's Creed franchise to be developed and published by Ubisoft Montreal. Throughout the course of the game, the three protagonists from the previous games will be featured: Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond. It has been announced that it is the last game to feature Ezio Auditore and Altaïr Ibn La'Ahad, and the final game to be set in the Rennaisance era. The game is set to be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows on November 15, 2011.Square Enix confirmed that Revelations will be one of their games on display at this year's Tokyo Game Show.


Gameplay

The game will follow the series' standard open-world gameplay. New gameplay additions include an item called the hookblade, which can be used to zipline across the city or grab enemies to yank them in for a combo attack. The hookblade reportedly speeds up navigation by around 30 percent. Along with the hookblade, Ezio will also have 300 different bomb variations at his disposal, which will be craftable.
Multiplayer gameplay is also making a return in Revelations. The mode expands the basics of online modes from Brotherhood with new characters and locations. Players will be able to customize their characters' appearance and weapons, as well as start a guild and create its unique coat of arms. Matchmaking and game interface will be improved. Ubisoft says that while the component is returning, they’re putting greater focus towards the narrative, as it’s the heart of the franchise. As players level up in the game, they will move up in their Abstergo Templar rank and gain access to more information about the company. New multiplayer modes will be added to the already existing modes, including "story-oriented quests". Some multiplayer maps will be based in the island of Rhodes.
