Assassin's Creed 2 - New Info

The biggest Montreal newspaper has a small interview with a Ubisoft employee on the new upcoming game, and he gave the exclusive info.

1. Ezio Auditore di Firenze, the new hero of this adventure, is very different from Altair. " Being Italian, we wanted to give him a big attraction for women. He's a seductor(...) he's also more warm and free than Altair, following his ambition for revenge instead of only obeying orders.

2. The first game was criticized for being to linear. That's why this one will have over a dozen new types of missions, with a lot more liberty and surprises. For example, you can decide to kill some witnesses if you feel they we're watching you too much during your assassination.

3. Desmond Miles is back again, but this time the modern areas of the game will be more exciting.

4. The new hero is a much better swimmer than Altair, he can even hide underwater or kill his victims after bringing them into the water canals.

5.You'll meet historic figures in this game, some victims other allies. da Vinci will be playing a very important role as your mentor and will create gadgets for you to use.

6. Having more than your secondary knife, you'll be able to defend yourself with your fists. You are a master of death, so you have to know every way to defend yourself

7. The clothes of Ezio are a mix of noble Italian families from the renaissance (he's a privileged man who's been betrayed by the head families of Italy) and feathers typical of assassins in that time. Unlike the first, you'll be able to blend in with more than just the priests.

8. Big jumps are back from the first, but with your new ability you'll be able to dive right into water.

9. One of Leonardo biggest contribution will be a flying machine helping you getting into normally unaccessible locations. You'll also need it in some of the missions.

10. The criticized ending of the first will not change the way they look at this one. I don't think a direct ending is the best choice because it leaves no place for imagination. One thing is for sure, we will eventually get an AC3.
