Behind the scenes

The expansion is considered non-canon in the Assassin's Creed series due to conflicts with preestablished events in the timeline. The game is set in 1510 and has Ezio in Venice, even though at this point he was busy making preparations to leave the Italian Assassins to go on sabbatical in Masyaf and search for the hidden Library of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. A more glaring error, however, is the appearance of Cesare Borgia and Sirus Favero, both of whom should be long dead. Cesare was killed by Ezio during the siege of Viana in 1507, while Favero was killed in Rome in 1506 by Lo Sparviero and Niccolò Machiavelli. Lastly, the missions are episodic in nature, unrelated to previous or successive events, and because the game pits players against each other by playing as either faction, mission endings are ambiguous for having an equal chance of resolving in the Crows' favor instead of for the Assassins.
