In Renaissance Italy, you play as Ezio Auditore, a young noble drawn into the Assassin-Templar conflict after his family is betrayed. The story follows his path toward becoming an assassin, while a present-day storyline connects his memories to Desmond.
Explore cities including Florence and Venice on foot, across rooftops, and through crowds. Take on story missions and side activities involving stealth, assassinations, chases, and combat; swim, use a range of weapons and tools, and enlist local helpers to distract or fight guards.
Earn money from missions and other activities, then invest in Ezio’s equipment and the family villa. Optional pursuits include races, hidden tombs, and collectibles, while new abilities and gear expand your options as the story progresses.
The supplied reviews often praise Ezio’s character development and the story, alongside the atmosphere of Renaissance Italy, its music, and rooftop parkour. Some players also appreciate the more varied missions and expanded tools, while others find the controls or parkour awkward and report trouble accessing the game through Ubisoft Connect.
