Assassin’s Creed 2

Ubisoft’s E3 2009 cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed 2 set in Renaissance Italy. The 15th century locale plays host to three distinct areas: Venice, Florence and Tuscany. Like its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed 2 will give you complete freedom to run, leap, climb and stab your way through a twisting narrative. This time there will also be flying and swimming thrown into the mix, although catching dysentery from Venice’s fetid canals is presumably not a new gameplay mechanic.
