14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft has just revealed that The Ezio Collection will be coming to Nintendo Switch next month. The bundle will include three games – Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelation, as well as two short films, Assassin’s Creed Lineage and Assassin’s Creed Embers.
The game will be available on Nintendo Switch starting February 17, and all titles will be fully playable offline and on the move with the handheld console. There are some exclusive features that only Nintendo Switch players will benefit from, such as Handheld Mode, HD Rumble, touchscreen interface, and optimized HUD.
Players who haven’t yet played the older Assassin’s Creed games or none at all, here is a quick rundown of what to expect from the three games included in The Ezio Collections.
In Assassin’s Creed II, players will take the role of Ezio, a new assassin carrying on the deadly lineage of his forebears through Renaissance Italy, including Florence and Venice. You’ll have to hone your art, wielding weapons and instruments designed by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci himself. It’s important to add that all solo DLC is available along the single-player campaign.
Next, we have Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood where Ezio’s saga continues. While struggling to escape from the clutches of the powerful Templar Order, players will journey into Italy’s most renowned city, Rome, centre of power, greed, and corruption. Just like Assassin’s Creed II, all solo DLC is available along the single-player campaign.
Last but not least, Assassin’s Creed Revelations tells the story of Ezio who must leave his life behind in search of answers. Player will walk in the footsteps of their legendary mentor, Altaïr, on a journey of discovery and revelation.
This time around, players will visit Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threaten to destabilize the region. All solo DLC is available along the single-player campaign.
The two films about Ezio included in the collection dive even deeper into the protagonist’s story, so make sure to watch Assassin’s Creed Lineage and Assassin’s Creed Embers after you’ve played the three games.
