Power to the people - dev diary #2

Check out the second developer diary for Assassin's Creed® II where Ubisoft Montreal talk more about their new assassin, Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Assassin's Creed II is the follow-up to the game that became the fastest-selling new franchise in video game history. The highly anticipated game features a new hero, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble, and a new era, the Renaissance.

Assassin's Creed II retains the core game play experience that made the first opus a resounding success and features new experiences that will surprise and challenge players.

Assassin's Creed II is an epic story of family, vengeance and conspiracy set in the pristine, yet brutal, backdrop of a Renaissance Italy. Ezio befriends Leonardo da Vinci, takes on Florence's most powerful families and ventures throughout the canals of Venice where he learns to become a master assassin.
