Yes, as you've probably already heard, it's very much so real, and will be out on November 17th. What are your thoughts on this game?
I think it sounds great. It sounds like they really knew what was wrong with the first, and they really want to improve on it. Not to mention I really want to see how the plot continues.
Basically, on Desmond's end... oh yeah.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
Although it is not confirmed yet, there is a few rumors on Desmond's side. His story takes place a couple of hours after the end of the first game. The other assassin he's associated with, the undercover sceientist for Abstergo, Lucy, takes Desmond and runs from the company. At a nearby werhouse, she reveals to Desmond the Animus 2.0. With this, she plans to look back to another of Desmond's ansestors for whatever reason.
In the Animus, Desmond is reliving the life of Ezio, a nobel teenager in the Italian Renaissance. After his father is killed, Ezio swears revenge for his death, and discovers his family's true colors as assassin's. He takes up this task and becomes an assassin. With his friend Leonardo Da Vinchi creating new tools and inventions for him, and factions in the city like the Prostitutes and Thieves helping him out, his journey for revenge will span for nearly 30 years.
In the gameplay side, more investigation missions have been added, from the 5 in the first to the roughly 16 in the new one, hopefully decreasing the repetitive nature of the first. This one also adds secret catacomb areas for the player to explore, as well as many other areas, and a plethera of side missions to do. Also, assinations have been improved, allowing for new methods, such as the double assassination, the assassination while hiding, water assassinations, the jumping assassinations have been improved, and many others. Lastly, the simple combat has been completely revamped to hopefully fit a brand new style, being much more developed, and allowing disarms and more complex moved with more weapons (Axes, Daggers, spears, exc.)
Looks great! November can't come soon enough.
