I can't say more than that without spoiling it." There is another segment at the end that's just as long, if not longer, than the section you played today where we get to develop this relationship even more and you get to see Desmond's role in the Assassins in the present even more. "Their relationship begins to get more concrete. The whole time, they exchanged playful banter - their relationship is developing in this game and Simard, without going too much into the story, promised it would only grow more as the game went on. Traipsing through the dank catacombs and sewers of the Villa, him and Lucy did the co-op thing, looking for the back door into the Sanctuary. We'd seen it in AC2, but Desmond is quite the assassin now. Here I was given a taste of how far along Desmond had come. Apparently, they drove their truck all the way to Italy (ocean-spanning bridges are the future, folks!) and Desmond, still seeing those apparition-like remnants of his time in the Animus, had to locate a suitable hideout - in Ezio's Villa, no less. Thankfully, my impatience was rewarded immediately: it was now time to see where Desmond, Lucy and the rest of the gang had wound up. This all happened within the span of little over an hour, and I had yet to see Desmond come into the picture. Eventually Ezio passes out on his horse and the Sequence concludes. After that, Ezio makes an escape on horseback, but only after seeing a main character die, another taken captive and taking injury himself. Following that is a very chaotic horseback sequence, where Ezio races to the ramparts to man defensive cannons, enabling the townsfolk to make a clean getaway. The Borgia have amassed a giant army and lay into the Villa with cannons.
As the town prepares for his sister's birthday party, Ezio does a couple of tutorial-like missions - for example, he helps a woman carry a box of flowers and another mission has him tracking down Mario's escaped horse.Ĭatherine also makes an appearance, but it's not long after that everything goes to hell. Sequence 1 picks up right after Ezio' receives the enigmatic message at the end of the second game and offers Ezio and his uncle Mario a brief time of peace back at the Villa. "That's why we went with 'Brotherhood' instead of '3' - it also fits well with the new multiplayer, of course." "It really is Assassin's Creed 3, in a sense, but for us the number represents a new ancestor and a new era," Simard said.

To them, that would signify the next step in the series this is more the conclusion of Ezio's story. As it turns out, not killing that one prominent figure was a bad move - hindsight being 20/2 and all that.īrotherhood is definitely a proper sequel, but Ubisoft's Gaelec Simard, mission director on the single-player side of the game, said the company didn't want to slap a "3" on there.
The game picks up right where Assassin's Creed 2 left us, showing the consequences of Ezio's actions during the finale. This was primarily the same experience I've been enjoying the last few years. It's a dependable companion.Īnd jumping into Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, that familiar feeling washed over me. Since 2007, spending time with Assassin's Creed has been a mixture of expectancy and reassurance. During my first few hours with the single-player component of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, I couldn't help but feel like that. We catch up, have a great time and depart, wondering why we meet so infrequently. We all have those friends that we see maybe once a year.
