Assassin's Creed Ascendance



Assassin's Creed Ascendance is a short animated film set after Assassin's Creed II and before Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Ezio Auditore was informed that a new threat is growing in Roma. Pope Rodrigo Borgia's son, Cesare, is brewing up trouble to take control of all of Roma. In the next 13 minutes and 32 seconds, Ezio learns how his would-be nemesis rose to power.

The picture story animation is reminiscent of the artistic style of the Renaissance. The music, voice acting, and scenery will all be familiar to the gamers. There are fewer action scenes than in Assassin's Creed Lineage and mostly just recollection of Cesare's deeds to get to where he is at the start of AC Brotherhood. The picture story might be new to the viewers but it's just as beautiful as the animation in the games.
