Sequel to the first title of the saga
The series of video games Assassin's Creed has only needed 10 years to become an adventure and action classic. The first installment was released in 2007 and since then it has gradually landed on PC, macOS, video consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo), as well as smartphones and tablets (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Symbian and even WebOS).
The most ruthless assassin in the Italian Renaissance
The main character of this game is Ezio Auditore, a young nobleman from Florence, and an ancestor of Desmond Miles, to whom he has to connect by means of Animus 2.0 to revive his genetic memories. This is the starting point of an adventure in which we'll travel around Tuscany and Venice to face our enemies.
This second adventure is the direct successor of the first game of the series that has even led to the production of movies, and that in 2016 and 2017 is as present as ever. The gameplay is similar to the first title but it incorporates improvements that makes it much more fluid.
