Assassin's Creed: Revelations is an upcoming game developed by Ubisoft Montreal, and published by Ubisoft. A direct sequel to 2010's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Revelations is the fourth main installment in the video game series.[1]
The game is scheduled to be released sometime in November 2011.[2]
Plot
After having freed Italy from the Templar threat, the Mentor of the Assassin Order, Ezio Auditore questions his life as an Assassin, wondering how it would have been if he had never been one.[1]
He thus sets out on a pilgrimage to his ancestor's homeland of Masyaf, which he discovers has been overrun by the Templars. There, he discovers an ancient artifact, which is locked away, and can only be opened with five seals.[1]
The search for these seals takes him to Constantinople, where he finds out that there is an army of Templars forming in the city - threatening to destabilize the region. Ezio must follow in the footsteps of his spiritual mentor and forefather, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, which will lead him to discovery and revelation. Ezio will be searching for the seals containing Altaïr's memories, through which the player can control Altaïr.[1]
Gameplay
The gameplay system from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will be the basis for Revelations, though Ezio's free-running and combat skills will be upgraded with new features.[2]
Weapons
A new weapon called the Hookblade will be introduced, which will allow Ezio to use ziplines throughout the city, speeding up navigation by around 30%. Additionally, a crafting system will allow the creation of bombs, with options for up to 300 different types.[3]
Assassin's Dens
The concept of Borgia towers has been expanded, and in order to neutralize the Templar presence, various assault scenarios must be completed. The liberated buildings will be known as "Assassin's Dens," though control over them may be lost to a Templar assault. These attacks will be triggered when the player's notoriety increases.[3]
However, Assassin's Dens can be protected by either the player, or by an assigned Master Assassin, who will ensure the prevention of any further Templar attacks on the building.[3]
Others
The cap for the Apprentice Leveling system will be raised to 15.[3]
Eagle Vision will now be known as Eagle Sense, which would allow the player to focus on a character and determine the route they have taken. This will thus give the player an estimation of where they will go, which could be useful for ambushes or locating a secluded place to strike a target.[3]
The modern day aspect of the game will also be upgraded with a new feature labeled, "revolutionary gameplay", in which Desmond Miles will need to change the construct of his ancestors' memories and, in the process, unravel the future.[3]
To do this, Desmond will enter the Animus and find a safe-mode called the "Black Room," where he will reintegrate the splintered layers of his subconscious.[3]
Multiplayer
Like its predecessor, Revelations will come with a multiplayer mode. It will be upgraded with new modes, maps and characters to refine the experience.[1]
Additionally, it has improved story and customization features, allowing the player to choose their own weapon and change their appearance, as well as edit clothes and other minor features.[1]
