Assassin’s Creed 2 Short Movie

To help promote the release of the upcoming game Assassin’s Creed 2, Ubisoft have been creating a short movie. The first part of the movie has now been released onto YouTube.

The movie is titled Assassin’s Creed 2: Lineage and it follows the events that take place before the story of Assassin’s Creed 2. You follow the life of Assassin Giovanni Auditore, the father of Ezio, the character you play as in Assassin’s Creed 2.

Along with the 15 minute clip also comes this description:

“When the Duke of Milan is brutally murdered, the Assassin Giovanni Auditore is dispatched to investigate. The answers he uncovers implicate Italy’s most powerful families reaching all the way back to the Vatican itself. As Giovanni draws closer to the truth, he becomes hunted himself. He must expose the conspirators before he joins their ever growing list of victims.”
