Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice is an upcoming Assassin's Creed-themed board game. A Kickstarter for the game was launched on November 13, 2018,[1] and was successfully funded in less than 24 hours.[2] The estimated release date is set for June 2020.[3]
During the development, 3 expansions were announced by the developers through social networks.
Roma - Discover 4 new assassins! You can play them in the main campaign from the core box.
The assassins will explore the city of Rome in search of a hidden artifact. The enemies will also be unique to this expansion and will include Papal Guards and Followers of Romulus.
Creed vs Crows - The Competitive Versus Game Mode is played with 2 to 4 players.
Two teams are opposed in a Borgia Fortress in 8 standalone Memories: two Assassins on one side and two Crows on the other. The teams start from opposite sides of the game board and must complete objectives before the other team. Both teams can call on their Mentor (Ezio Auditore or Cesare Borgia) to come help them.
Objectives are variable and range from destroying the other team’s Tower to capturing an Objective in the other side’s territory, eliminating all the opponents’ teammates and more. The Assassins and Crows are intruders in the Fortress so Guards will act as usual against both teams.
This mode allows players to jump in and jump out of the game without any influence on the campaign. All Memories are independent and can be played in 30 to 90 minutes. All Memories are highly replayable depending on each player's strategy.
Tokyo XXI - The modern-day expansion is an optional setting that will tie in the main storyline, it features 4 modern day Assassins in a completely different environment! The expansion is set in Tokyo, modern day, and has been confirmed to be canon. It will feature a unique storyline involving well known characters, led by Layla Hassan, Rebecca Crane, Kiyoshi Takakura and a yet unidentified Assassin.
Each one will approach different Characters, Places or Ages, thus changing all the cards and the pieces of the game.[1]
