Further to the announcement by Ubisoft that a new Assassin’s Creed game will be arriving next year, a new trailer has been launched to whet your appetite even further for the next installment in the series, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, which will be officially launched next week.
The new trailer released by Ubisoft offers a tantalizing glimpse of the in-game city of Constantinople and what you can expect from the storyline. Watch the latest Assassin’s Creed Revelations trailer after the jump.
The Setting: Constantinople
The city of Constantinople, known today as Istanbul, serves as a rich and vibrant backdrop for Assassin’s Creed Revelations. This historical city, which straddles both Europe and Asia, was a melting pot of cultures, religions, and political intrigue during the time period in which the game is set. Players can expect to navigate through bustling marketplaces, grand mosques, and intricate alleyways, all meticulously recreated to reflect the city’s historical grandeur.
The game’s developers have gone to great lengths to ensure that the architecture, clothing, and even the ambient sounds of the city are as authentic as possible. This attention to detail not only enhances the visual appeal of the game but also immerses players in the historical context, making the experience more engaging and educational.
The Storyline: A Power Struggle
The latest trailer is narrated by Suleiman the Magnificent (The Lawgiver), who will need the help of the assassins and Ezio to resolve a power struggle. Suleiman, one of the most prominent sultans of the Ottoman Empire, is depicted as a young prince in the game. His character adds a layer of political complexity and historical depth to the storyline.
In Assassin’s Creed Revelations, players will once again step into the shoes of Ezio Auditore, the beloved protagonist from previous games. This time, Ezio is older and more experienced, but he is still driven by the same quest for knowledge and justice. The game promises to delve deeper into Ezio’s personal journey, exploring his motivations and the challenges he faces as he uncovers the secrets of the ancient order of assassins.
The narrative also ties in with the overarching storyline of the Assassin’s Creed series, which revolves around the age-old conflict between the Assassins and the Templars. Players will uncover hidden truths and face formidable adversaries as they navigate through a web of conspiracies and betrayals.
Gameplay Enhancements
Assassin’s Creed Revelations introduces several new gameplay mechanics that aim to enhance the player experience. One of the most notable additions is the “hookblade,” a versatile tool that allows Ezio to zipline across the city and perform more dynamic combat maneuvers. This new feature not only adds a layer of excitement to the gameplay but also makes traversing the expansive cityscape more fluid and enjoyable.
The game also introduces an upgraded version of the “Eagle Vision,” now called “Eagle Sense.” This enhanced ability allows players to track enemies, identify key targets, and uncover hidden pathways with greater precision. These improvements make stealth and strategy even more critical, encouraging players to think carefully about their approach to each mission.
Multiplayer Mode
In addition to the single-player campaign, Assassin’s Creed Revelations offers a robust multiplayer mode. This feature allows players to compete against each other in various game types, each requiring a unique blend of stealth, strategy, and combat skills. The multiplayer mode includes new characters, maps, and abilities, providing a fresh and exciting experience for fans of the series.
Assassin’s Creed Revelations will be released on November 15 on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. With its rich historical setting, compelling storyline, and innovative gameplay mechanics, the game promises to be a worthy addition to the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
