Travel east in search of the lost library of the Assassins.
Alongside your copy of Assassin's Creed Revelations on PlayStation 3, you'll find a very special bonus on the same Blu-ray Disc under the menu options - the original Assassin's Creed. Taking place in the year 1191 AD during the events of the Third Crusade, the game charts the actions of Altair, a member of the Assassins and original star of the worldwide smash-hit series.
If you have yet to experience the brilliance of Assassin's Creed on PlayStation 3 this is the perfect way to travel back in time with the cunning assassin, before heading to your nearest store to pick up both Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on Blu-ray Disc to complete your collection.
Story:
Power up your PlayStation 3 and prepare to bid farewell to Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Assassin's Creed Revelations, the final chapter of the deadly killer's story that began in Assassin's Creed II in 2009.
Slipping on Ezio's robes and tooling up with an arsenal of blades, bombs and pistols, you're thrust into the action right where Assassin's Creed Brotherhood left off, with Desmond - the game's present-day protagonist - trapped inside the mysterious device called the Animus.
Inside the Animus, Desmond meets Subject 16, a man who spent time within the machine before him, but died in the process and discovers that Desmond's mind has now completely fragmented from overexposure to the machine. Now, Desmond must continue to play out the stories of his ancestors until there is nothing left for them to show him.
If Desmond can make it that far without his mind splintering any further, the Animus will separate his memories from those of his ancestors and free him from its grasp. It's up to you to guide him, so hold on tight to your wireless controller and prepare for the most thrilling Assassin's Creed adventure through time yet.
Gameplay:
Assassin's Creed Revelations follows the series' open world formula that developer Ubisoft Montreal originally created in 2007 on PlayStation 3. Unfurling over a number of districts in Constantinople during 1511 AD, the sequel features a series of fresh additions to the blockbuster saga such as the hook blade.
This new weapon and climbing gadget allows Ezio to travel across the city at great speeds using the numerous zip lines you'll find dotted throughout the vast map. It's also perfect for tripping up opponents in battle or pulling down scaffolding if you need to slow down enemies that are hot on your heels.
Alongside the hook blade, Ezio also has explosives to hand. These bombs can be concocted from numerous items you'll find in chests and shops dotted around the game world and can be used to kill, maim or distract enemies. Always take a moment to sift through the pockets of the dead or unconscious because a number of them tend to carry money, weapons and ingredients for crafting bombs that can help you throughout your mission.
Features:
- Wield the lethal skills of a wiser Ezio and swiftly eliminate your adversaries with a new arsenal of weapons and abilities such as enhanced free-running and hook blade combat.
- Experience new levels of gameplay customisation with bomb crafting while using your heightened eagle vision to overcome your enemies and the environment.
- Explore the deepest reaches of the Animus and gain the knowledge needed to uncover the mysteries of Desmond's past while gaining insight into what the future holds.
- Take the adventure online and experience all-new team modes, maps and characters.
