Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Real gamers must know the game series Assassin's Creed by Ubisoft. It is one of the best third person action-adventure game that I've ever played. Well, for those who doesn't know yet, the next sequel of Assassin's Creed will be out in November 11, 2010. Yes, this year. I'm quite shock wondering how they manage to make the game so quick, just one year after Assassin's Creed 2! The PC version of  Assassin's Creed 2 just released two months ago (console version is six months ago) . Frankly, I just finished playing the PC version last week and I really enjoyed playing the game!

Entitled Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it is a direct-sequel to Assassin's Creed 2 and its story will take place shortly after the ending of the previous game, with Ezio returning as the main protagonist. Ezio Auditore da Firenze, now a master assassin, continued his hunt for Templars and therefore went to Rome, the headquarters of the Templar order. Together with the other members of the Assassin order, he took out the remnants of the Italian Templars. According to Ubisoft, the game is going to offer over 15 hours of single-player gameplay set in the city of Rome with the possibility to recruit and train young Assassins that can be deployed across the city of Rome, or call upon to aid Ezio in his quests.

Also in the quests, Ezio will meet real historical characters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza with which he can collaborate, and also by helping out citizens of Rome and convincing them to join the cause will unlock extra factions and missions. Old weapons and devices from previous games will carry over, such as hidden blades, and DaVinci's flying machine. New weapons will also be introduced. Two of these new weapons were revealed in teaser content for the game, a bladed fan and switch blade version of the hidden blade. A syringe is also presented in the teaser, which extrapolates on a hollowed out version of the hidden blade used for delivering poison in Assassin's Creed 2.

Multiplayer mode is now introduced to the franchise and will allow the player to choose from multiple authentic character classes, each with their own signature weapons and killing moves to battle on maps and a wide variety of multiplayer modes.

And recently,  Ubisoft sent out an email detailing exactly what people will get when they Pre-Order Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. It would be an additional multiplayer character from a leaked GameStop reservation placeholder card. The character is called The Harlequin, a masked assassin shown snapping a victim's neck in the image below.
