Assassin’s Creed is the next-generation game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that redefines the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with stunning graphics and physics, Assassin’s Creed fuses technology, game design, themes and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful agent of change. The setting is 1191 AD The Third Crusade is destroying the Holy Land. You, Altair, intend to stop hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your cruelty. Your actions can cause chaos in your immediate environment and your existence will shape events during this crucial moment in history. Become an Assassin: Master the skills, tactics and weapons of the deadliest and most secretive clan of warriors in history. Plan your attacks, attack mercilessly and fight to escape. Experience PC-exclusive content: Four PC-exclusive investigation missions make the game an even better experience than its console predecessors, including the Rooftop Race Challenge, a race to a specific location, and the Archer Stealth Assassination Challenge, where the player must assassinate all the archers in a given area to help their fellow Assassins. Realistic and responsive environments: Experience a living, breathing world where all your actions have consequences. Crowds react to your movements and will help or hinder your missions. Action with a new dimension: total freedom: eliminate your targets wherever, whenever and however. Stalk your prey through open, richly detailed and historically accurate environments. Climb buildings, ride a horse, mix with the crowd. Do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Relive the epic times of the Crusades: Assassin’s Creed immerses you in the realistic and historical Holy Land of the 12th century, with realistic graphics, atmosphere and the subtle yet detailed nuances of a living world. Intense Reality-Based Action: Experience intense action combined with fluid, precise animations. Use a wide range of medieval weapons and face your enemies in realistic sword duels.
