Assassin's Creed II (or Assassin's Creed 2) is an upcoming sandbox-style action-adventure video game being developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft, the sequel to Assassin's Creed. It is set to be released worldwide Christmas 2009 on the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii, and Xbox 360 platforms.

Plot

While not much is known of the plot yet, it has been confirmed that the player will assume the role of a nobleman and assassin named Ezio Auditore de Firenze. Like in the first game, Ezio is an ancestor of Desmond Miles, the modern assassin that has been captured by Abstergo Industries; as well as being a descendant of his ancestor Altaïr. Ezio is a young noble who lost his family to rival families.

He is shown to have dual hidden blades. The game is set to take place in Renaissance Italy, during the Carnival of Venice in the year 1476, which is 285 years after the first game. Like Assassin's Creed, characters based on historical figures will be present in the game including Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza, and Lorenzo de' Medici.

Locations mentioned thus far as being included in the game are Venice, Florence, the Tuscan countryside and Rome. Specific landmarks include St Mark's Basilica, the Grand Canal, the Little Canal, and the Rialto Bridge.
