AC: Revelations announced for November 2011 launch

Ubisoft’s announced Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, the final part of the Ezio trilogy, will launch in November for PS3, 360 and PC, with a “refined” multiplayer also to make a return.

The game, being mainly made in Ubisoft Montreal, will see Ezio’s story – which first began in Assassin’s Creed II – come to a conclusion.

Ezio will follow the “footsteps of his legendary mentor” Altair, with a journey to Constantinople, the “heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilize the region.”

A “refined and expanded” multiplayer, which made its debut in last year’s Brotherhood, will also return.

Game Informer has the game on its front cover for its June issue, confirming that both Altair and Ezio, as well as Desmond in the current day, are all playable in some form in the game.

“Delivering the final chapter of the Ezio trilogy is an important milestone in the Assassin’s Creed franchise for us and for our fans,” said Ubisoft Montreal creative director, Alexandre Amancio.

“Assassin’s Creed Revelations includes lots of new features and some significant surprises. We can’t wait to show our fans what we have in store at E3 this year.”

First shot of the game is below.

I’ll no doubt get the game, but I’m not paying anything over a tenner for it.

@41 That would be cool. But I’m sure that we both know that won’t happen unfortunately.

AC1 was my favorite, I thought AC2 had too many distractions but I can see why it’s most people’s favorite.

I didn’t even get more than 5 hours into AC:B (not counting the 10+ hours of multiplayer). No way am I buying this one. Even Hunam’s^ price is too high if the stipulation is I have to keep pace with these increasingly ridiculous plots each and every year.

brotherhood was a good game but the story was nowhere near AC2. hopefully revelations will move the franchise forward.

AC1 was horrible compared to 2. When AC1 came out i was impressed by the visuals and the freedom and being able to climb on practically anything. Then i started to play story missions and after a few i was wondering when something new was gonna happen, some variety.NONE of that in AC1, plenty of that in AC2.

Hmm. I’m getting a general ‘overkill’ feeling. Couldn’t they have had a year off?

I wonder if I’ll get some sort of assassin bonus for having all of my assassin’s levels to the max in Brotherhood. That would be dope.

I don’t mind yearly sequels as long as they add some variety (Like MP in Brotherhood) & manage to keep the quality up. As soon as meta scores drop below 80 & sales have decreased, it’s time to reevaluate your plans.

Okay, so AC was originally planed as trilogy and now they just insert a Ezio trilogy between AC and AC3. Because we all love Ezio so much and everybody buys it every year and in fact Ubisoft can really get the fuck out of this shithole and present us something new. Obviously a no brainer no buy.

Assassin’s Wank: Wankelations

Ubisoft you sly dog, you snuck in a trilogy within my trilogy. Why couldn’t you have just delivered a solid franchise like most people were hoping. I mean, I’m not dead set on trilogies, I don’t mind if you go four or five games into a franchise if they are really that good.

But you, Ubisoft, you sly money milking ass, seem to be purposely trying to ruin this great franchise with yearly releases of what seems to be the same game!

The one thing I was hoping from AC was a variety of time lines that would get explored. An adventure through time if you want to be cheesy. And I saw that greatness in AC1 and AC2, AC:B was pushing it a bit but this really is a great big cheesy dick slap to the face.

Please sort it out.

@ badboy_122

Wikipedia:

“Patrice Désilets, former series’ creative director, said that the series has always been planned as a trilogy.”

Might be wrong but for argument sake.

Mr. Désilets left the team last year: I wonder how much it has to do with Ubisoft’s plan for the series?

@ 61

Well exactly. I mean I’m pretty sure back in the day of AC1 it was said to be a trilogy. I think now that they see the “potential” of the franchise they plan to do it a “little” differently.

I only linked that because I was pretty sure they did say it was going to be a trilogy unlike what #59 said.

I still think AC is a great story but the way they are going about telling it is more along the lines of turning it into a cash cow.

@viralshag

my mistake !!

but I think after seeing the success of the franchise , UBI will create more parts of the story & to be honest they’ve a lot of historical events they could go to ..

anyway we’ll c soon enough ;)

@ badboy_122,

Very true. I don’t even know why I’m complaining really. I think it was initial shock. I still love AC and it’s highly doubtful I would miss this one either haha.

I would be fine if they balance the game more in favour of time with Desmond and Altair, more so for Desmond though.

@24… They did the exact same thing to Splinter Cell, and now it’s Assassin’s Creed’s turn.

I want to clear some things up. Looking at the comments, I saw that people keep calling it Assassins Creed Brotherhood a game! It was not a game in and of its self, but more of a DLC, that came in a box. This is just to keep the people entertained, until they actually make a third game!

p.s. Revelations is just another add on, like Brotherhood.
