What is Assassin’s Creed Revelations?

Set in 1511 and 1512, it follows an older Ezio to Constantinople, where he searches for five keys to a library built by Altaïr, the hero of the first game. Along the way he is drawn into a struggle over the Ottoman throne and a Templar plot to control the city, and the story ties together the threads of Ezio’s and Altaïr’s lives.

The game keeps the series’ open-world combat, stealth and climbing, set across Constantinople. Like Brotherhood, it launched with online multiplayer. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, it was released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on 15 November 2011.
