Play as Altair in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations

Ubisoft reveal new details for the fourth game in the series, including the first game’s Altair as a playable character.

As IncGamers reported a couple of weeks ago, the fourth in the Assassin’s Creed series is due later this year. The game involves Ezio following in the footsteps of the first game’s protagonist, Altair, “on a journey to recover five ancient seals that hold the keys to the future of the Assassins brotherhood.” The game will take place in Constantinople.

In addition to Altair as a playable character, we’re told to expect new weapons, a new love interest, an ‘exotic’ Constantinople and a “refined and expanded” online component.
