Assassin’s Creed: Revelations will see the ageing Ezio hopping all over the shop, with the game beginning back in Masaf – much like the first game in the franchise – before spending the majority of the game in the ancient city of Constantinople.
Ezio will also travel to the underground stronghold of Cappadocia, while Rhodes will be introduced as a new multiplayer location.
Masyaf
“He goes back to Masyaf in search of answers,” creative director Alexandre Amancio told Game Informer. “He wants to find the library there to learn more about the Order. He follows the footsteps of Altair to Masyaf. What begins as a pilgrimage turns into a race against time.”
Ezio will return to Masyaf at the end of the game.
Constantinople
“Constantinople is a massive city. It actually spans two continents – on one side is Europe, and other Asia,” explained Amancio. “This is the centre of the known world at that time. The spice trading and all that related trade happened through Constantinople. It was one of the main reasons that Europeans tried to go around Africa – because Constantinople was this great hub controlled by the Ottomans. And, essentially, everything needed to go through that city.”
The city is split into four districts: Constantin. Beyazid, Imperial, and Galata. Each sports a different visual style and vibe.
Cappadocia
“Part of it is above ground, but its true secret is underground,” Amancio explained. “This is the first time something like this has been done in the franchise. We have this complete underground city.”
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations will be released in November for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
