Aaand here we go to one more post of ''Assassin's Creed'' goodies ^^
The first DLC for [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] has been announced. Named [[The Lost Archive|"The Lost Archive"]], the downloadable content will feature gameplay sequences similar to Desmond's Journey ones, but focused on [[Subject 16]]'s life. Unfortunaly, Ubisoft's trend of not including (or at least delaying) PC players also makes a appearance this time. Altough I expect it to be avaiable for PC at a later date, I still find the lack of explanation for excluding the PC version disgusting, without even a mention to the why.
Today we go over [[ACR|Assassin's Creed Revelations]] revelations! XD
On a cheerful note, this week the wiki has surpassed the TWO THOUSAND main article count! <small>(everyone cheers)</small><br />It's amazing to see that little 7-page site I found in 2009 become a 2000 pages encyclopedia, a compendium of information so complete and awesome that even AC developers use for reference. A encylopedia better even than Ubisoft's official one. And all of this build by us -- editors and staff.
First, we have this video (yep.. another. Just release the damn game, Ubisoft) that shows Ezio's arrival to [[Constantinople]] and first meeting with [[Suleiman]] and [[Yusuf]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuIqOZP1A-4 VIDEO!]
To celebrate this, [[User:Nostalgia AC]] (our newest Istruttore) have made a special commemorative userbox, which can be seen below along with it's code:

Then we have this awesome list of news gathered by [[User:Stormbeast]] on [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Stormbeast/New_Info a blog of his], one which I am now reposting here for everyone to see ^^ I believe he will keep updating it, and when he does, I'll relay the info to all as always =]

Since it has a truckload of spoilers, I'm listing it under the spoiler tag, click the "show" button to unveil the know features and reveal the truth!
I would also like to make a special mention for our oldest admin and my consigliere, [[User:Master Sima Yi]]. My second in command, his amazing writing skills and throughout knowledge of AC canon helped shape this wiki to what it has become today. Leadership and charisma aren't everything a administration needs to be successful -- it also needs efficiency, dedication and professionalism. And Sima helps to make sure the wiki has all three of them. He is the Spock to my Captain Kirk. He is the Guardian of knowledge of this Compendium of information. And he is a good friend of mine. Thank you, Phil.

# If you get close enough to a person, e.g. following Yusuf at the beginning of the game, Ezio will go into autopilot and walk with him.
[[File:ACR DLC3 Screen 4.jpg|thumb|"Now, this looks better without Reapers destroying everything."]]
# All memories concerning the [[Seals of Altaïr|Keys]] in Constantinople will be accessed through [[Sofia]]. The Altair memories within the Keys will be relatively short, but engaging. You do not have to activate the Key as soon as you touch it, leading to possible replay-ability of Altair memories as well.
# There is an [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations Achievements|achievement/trophy]] for reaching the top of [[Hagia Sophia]] in under 30 seconds.
# You can take a break from playing Ezio and return to [[Animus Island]] with [[Desmond]] through the menu. Doing so, Desmond can talk to Subject 16 and even hear the voices of [[Bill Miles|Bill]], [[Shaun]], and [[Rebecca]] from the outside world. It is noted that Bill trained both Desmond and [[Lucy]] at a very young age.
# Ezio can control his speed whilst [[Ziplines|zip-lining]]. (the faster option will attract a guard's attention)
# You can test out [[bombs]] while crafting them to see their effect.
# The 'random quests' can be anything, including moving 5 boxes across a street.
# While disguised as a minstrel, the face buttons (X,B,Y,A on Xbox) has Ezio use different songs, mostly about [[Cesare]]. Pressing the right control stick activates Eagle Sense.
# Ezio will aquire the Armor of Ishak Pasha, the Revelations counterpart of the [[Armor of Altaïr|Armors of Altair]] and [[Armor of Brutus|Brutus]].
# Ottoman guards are marked on the mini-map with a yellow dot.
# Ezio will fill the new HQ with books in place of paintings.
# Ezio has all his old gear (including [[parachutes]] and the [[crossbow]]) from the beginning. [[Tunnel Booths]] have also returned.
# [[BAM|Assassin recruiting]] will be more diverse than just saving civilians from guards. Some can be done through quests, e.g. catching a counterfeit thief or winning a race. The new Recruits will be categorized, involving the weapon they are most skilled in. In order to reach the level of Assassin and [[Master Assassin]], your Recruit and you will have to track down a Templar Agent.
# There are Animus Data Fragments throughout the city for Ezio to collect. These appear to look similar to the AC2 loading symbol.
# The second Key is under [[Galata Tower]]. The only video we have is of Ezio almost falling to his doom.
# The second Altair memory will take place directly after [[Al Mualim]]'s death, leading to a fight with Abbas's followers and climbing to reach [[Abbas]] to retrieve [[the Apple]]. (Be careful of the Apple's pulses while climbing)
# The third Key is housed in the [[Forum of Ox]]. In order to get there, Ezio must use [[Eagle Sense]] while perched on a view point to pick up hidden symbols leading him there. The Forum of Ox features a chase with Templars in a boat as riflemen shoot at Ezio.
# The third Altair memory takes place after Altair's son, [[Sef]], is killed. Not much is known other than Altair having to fight fellow Assassins to escape [[Masyaf]].
# So far the confirmed Templar Agents are the Crusader, Renegade, and Vanguard. (Multiplayer related)
# There will be 5 new maps (Galata, Antioch, Knights Hospital, Souk, and Ippokratous) as well as 4 returning maps from Brotherhood. (Mont St. Michel, Rome, Castel Gandolfo, and Venice) "Training Ground" as seen in the Beta is now confirmed to be a 'noncompetitive, untimed mode' allowing you to 'explore the map, practice your abilities, and kill assigned target VIP' NPCs. (Multiplayer related)

The first DLC for Assassin's Creed: Revelations has been announced. Named "The Lost Archive", the downloadable content will feature gameplay sequences similar to Desmond's Journey ones, but focused on Subject 16's life. Unfortunaly, Ubisoft's trend of not including (or at least delaying) PC players also makes a appearance this time. Altough I expect it to be avaiable for PC at a later date, I still find the lack of explanation for excluding the PC version disgusting, without even a mention to the why.
On a cheerful note, this week the wiki has surpassed the TWO THOUSAND main article count! (everyone cheers) It's amazing to see that little 7-page site I found in 2009 become a 2000 pages encyclopedia, a compendium of information so complete and awesome that even AC developers use for reference. A encylopedia better even than Ubisoft's official one. And all of this build by us -- editors and staff.
To celebrate this, User:Nostalgia AC (our newest Istruttore) have made a special commemorative userbox, which can be seen below along with it's code:
This user has helped the wiki achieve 2000 articles and has earned a slice of the Assassin's Poundcake.
