This is also the first game of the series to include a multiplayer mode of any kind.

==Story==
The game begins with [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], now a legendary [[master assassin]], having to defend an attack on [[Monteriggioni]] led by the Papal General [[Cesare Borgia]] in 1499. Cesare breaches the city's defences and proceeds to steal [[The Apple|the apple]], kill [[Mario Auditore]], wound Ezio and leave Montiggerioni in rubble. Seeking revenge Ezio continues his hunt for [[Templars]] including Cesare and [[Rodrigo Borgia]] and therefore heads to [[Rome]], the headquarters of the Templar order. Ezio bases the Assassin's Headquarters on [[Tiber Island]] in the centre of Rome. From here he deploys his assassins across Europe.

===Multiplayer ===
''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' is the first Assassin's Creed game to feature a multiplayer mode. The players are Templars in training at the Abstergo facility. They use the animi (plural of animus) to train by stalking and killing one another. If the game is pre-ordered at gamestop.com, an extra character called "the [[Harlequin]]" will be available to play as.

One of the multiplayer game modes has been announced in the July edition of Playstation magazine. This mode is called "Wanted". Six to eight players are dropped on a map, not too small, not too big, where they stalk and kill each other. Each player is given a target, who is another player. You're goal is to find and kill your target without being seen or killed by your own predator. If you break cover, your target sees you and will run away, starting a chase sequence. They will try to hide from you, you have to catch them and kill them. It is a multiplayer experience unlike any other : cerebral, intense and exciting.

Aside from the characters and the "Wanted" game mode, no specifics are known as of yet.

===Physics and Effects===

Ubisoft has stated that the graphics will be improved upon, aswell as several physics in the game. Ragdolls will fall much more realisticly due to the new, edited "Havok" engine. In the other games, ragdolls sometimes would combust when hitting the floor after being thrown off a building.

In [[Assassin’s Creed II]], Some PC players have stated that ragdolls such as the "Borgia [[Messenger]]" are more likley to fall unrealisticly, due to their cape that 'clips' through their body. In some instances, ragdolls would have fallen with their arms clipping through their backs and legs. These certain instances ''mostly'' happen if Ezio picks up a body and throws it back on the ground, although it could happen anytime.
===Controlling the Assassins===
Now that Ezio is a master assassin he practically has control of the assassin order during the Renaissance. During the game you will have the option to send [[assassins]] to areas to complete tasks. You will have the ability to send a group to Spain to complete an assassination. You can have the ability to train young assassins and have them do jobs for you.
