[[File:ACR DYL Banner.png|thumb|250px|''Discover Your Legacy'']]
'''''Assassin's Creed: Revelations – Discover Your Legacy''''' was a 2011 Facebook application that purportedly "analyze[d] a Facebook user's ancestry" and tied them to one of several possible ancestral roots and bloodlines. ''Discover Your Legacy'' also included some of the user's friends, connecting them to the user's own bloodline and then dubbing them as either a trusted ally or a [[Templars|Templar]].

The app was co-developed with [[Ubisoft]] by ''{{Wiki|GameStop}}'', serving as a spin-off to the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]], and was a tie-in to the then-upcoming ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''. In March 2012, during the {{Wiki|Shorty Awards}} held at {{Wiki|The New York Times Center}} in [[New York City]], [[New York]], the app won the "Best Social Media Campaign for Gaming" category.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://shortyawards.com/category/4th/games|title=Best Social Media Campaign for Gaming|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307141207/https://shortyawards.com/category/4th/games|archivedate=7 March 2016|author=Shorty Awards LLC|date=March 2012|publisher=''Sawhorse Media''|accessdate=25 December 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://shortyawards.com/4th/discover-your-legacy-assassins-creed-revelations|title=Discover Your Legacy – Assassin's Creed: Revelations|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307140625/https://shortyawards.com/4th/discover-your-legacy-assassins-creed-revelations|archivedate=7 March 2016|author=Shorty Awards LLC|date=March 2012|publisher=''Sawhorse Media''|accessdate=25 December 2024}}</ref>

==Trivia==
[[File:ACR DYL Search Engine.png|thumb|250px|The app's "search engine"]]
*Users could get a different ancestor every time they reload the app.
*Since the family trees shown in the videos all had the same shape, Moina Bergson's contradicted what was said, giving her 2 children instead of one.
*Several modern day elements were implemented to the app, such as an email from [[Alan Rikkin]] detailing the user's ancestry and a screenshot from a "search engine" visually similar to Google displaying websites that purported to detail a user's Assassin ancestor's life.
