Venice, Italy looks perfect for Assassin's Creed 2 to me

Some Assassin’s Creed 2 storyline spoilers have been leaked including the setting of Venice, Italy.

Ubisoft has apparently been doing some focus-tests for the game that includes a look at a trailer for the in-development title that reveals some interesting information on the setting of the game and the main character, among other things.

Since this is the account of a reader you can’t say for sure how accurate it is or whether it is even true, but it seems very plausible so it certainly could be accurate. Of course the game is a far ways off so things could also change.

Here is what someone who saw the trailer wrote in to Kotaku:

Whilst wondering around town today during my lunch break i noticed a Ubisoft booth. people were asking questionnaires about games. I thought hey, I’m a gamer, a pretty hardcore one i think il give this a go. so i did; Questionnaire wasn’t too exciting to be fair, it was what happened afterwords that was. I was brought into a room with a TV set up and this is what followed :

A trailer for lo and behold, assassins creed 2, all be it in production and not finalized i will explain what i saw

Venice 15th/16th century, The camera pans onto the city focusing on the hustle and bustle of daily life. think the civilians from assassins creed 1 but more interactive with each other. During this scene we see a man passing money to the hands of an attractive girl, (originally i didn’t notice this but was told by the rep that it does happen).

2 Men, a relatively large one and a skinny one step off a boat with a cohort of guards and proceed to a Square within the city, where a masked ball was taking place. Every ones dancing around, not much to say here other than that it was a ball.

The girl seen previously accepting the bribe, approaches the skinnier of the two men and takes him off to the crowd, for a dance, she was good looking, who’d say no. The camera spins around them centrally, but focusing on the dancers as a whole.

A guy comes out from the side, dressed in dancers garb and proceeds to stab this skinnier man in the neck, with what looks like the finger blade from AC1. Man dies spewing blood, garble garble etc.

The 2nd of the men, the fatter one, notices this and proceeds to run, after sending the guards after the protagonist. Who, by this time has reached the roof and runs parallel to the target who continues to run on the floor. The player jumps off onto the ground and the fat man stops. commenting on the fanciness of the jump.

Facing off, the fat man continues to speak. i cant quite recall the exact words but it was something along the lines of

“It was a shame that your mother had to die, she was a beautiful woman … Your father on the other hand, it was due to your arrogance that he died”

The protagonist then shoots at the fat Man with a bolt pistol, and the trailer ends.

Post trailer discussion, a family feud was hinted at, yet nothing was said about the brotherhood. Disguises were also said to play a part in this game. The trailer was not fully textured or rendered but seemed on par to the crow trailer originally showed for assassins creed 1. due to the lack of textures and the like combined with the fluidity i would assume it wasn’t game play. furthermore after the trailer was shown, i was shown 3 pictures of the protagonist, all in different clothes and chose to pick a favourite. significantly underneath the word “ezio” was written on all 3 pictures. I believe this to be the guys name, as it sounds Italian. Again his face wasn’t entirely shown, so i assume it is the future reliving the past again.

Was told that this would be shown at a game expo this year, but not told which one. hinted E3 when pressured. release was given tho on a broad scale. Late this year early next.

April 2009 update: Ubisoft has confirmed the above storyline as true. They recently revealed Assassin’s Creed 2’s new features and Ezio as the main character.

    get your facts right mate ,his mother didnt die, his father was killed by the guards and ezio wants revenge on all the generals or soemthing and the first one to die was the fat one not the skinny one. the fat one and the so called skinny one walks into the celebration and one of the dancers(paid by Ezio the assasin) suduces the fat one into dancing with her, the other dancer trys to suduce the skinny one but the skinny one refuses suspecting somthin will happen. While the fat guy and dancer dance they do a spin and look up at the sky at that moment the dacner sneaks away while the fat one is confused and trys to look for her, at that moment ezio comes out and stabs the fat guy in the throat and everyone cannot believe what has ust happened, then the skinny guy tells the guards to try to kill him obviously they get pwned and ezio chases after the skinny guy. he gets to some palace or temple and tells the guards to hide behind the entrance sides to take out ezio by surprise when ezio comes to kill him, and when ezio does come this is what he actually said” Bravo Bravo,your father would be proud if he were alive to see this, and your mother after ive dealt with you i will give her my full attention” (getting the picture yet) Ezio is about to walk up to the skinny guy but stops, suspecting a trap, so takes out his wrist blade and switches it to firing mode or something and shoots the skinny guy from afar and then escapes. Thats the end of the assasins creed 2 officeal trailer
