The first Assassins Creed thrust you into the Crusades. This time, you're on a crusade of your own. Italian noble Ezio Auditore da Firenze watches his father hanged and vows revenge. Enter a dynamic, open Renaissance world where everyone you encounter is an opportunity. Blend in, or engage with potentially unforeseen consequences. Train as a master assassin and perform the ugliest acts in two of the era's most beautiful cities: Venice and Florence. Naturally, no operative is complete without a weapons/gadget engineer, so you'll have help from your friend Leonardo Da Vinci.
