Preview: "Assassin's Creed: Revelations" Brings The Franchise Home With Flare

As if they’re incredibly cognizant of it, Ubisoft’s cut-scenes take advantage of zooming into Ezio’s face to show off the accurate shading.

The same swift moves are available to you that you will recall from the previous titles in the franchise, but the added hookblade and new bombs are sure to spice up the action for this next round of assassinery.

As you build morale, you can spend points on crossbowman, riflemen, barricades, and canon attacks.

Similarly to the previous titles, Revelations features a city divided by conflict and alliances. Ezio will have to be careful when wandering into certain districts that aren’t under his allegiances. Of course, some missions will call for him to specifically enter those areas.

Skipping to Sequence 2, Ezio plans to infiltrate Topkapi Palace, where he hears a key that was stashed there was found by the Byzantines. By befriending the Ottomans, Ezio is able to get access. You might even have to dress up as a music player to stalk your target while defending him and cuing your fellow assassins to take out any potential threats that you can see with Eagle Vision.

But while threats are arising every where in the city, there’s a greater task at hand that serves as more important to Ezio: that of the keys and their connection to Altaïr.

The latest title from Ubisoft takes what you’re familiar with, amps it up a few notches and throws it into a story that features an amalgamation of the previous ones. If you’re at all invested in the storyline, or at all curious about leaping over Renaissance designed cities like a badass, you should certainly check the game out when it releases on November 15.
