Assassin's Creed Lineage

Set before events in Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed Lineage is narrated from Giovanni Auditore's point of view. Working as an assassin for Lorenzo de' Medici, Giovanni, stumbled onto some conspiracy to bring the Medicis down after the assassination of the Duke of Milano. The loss of the duke meant also a thinning of Lorenzo's allies and a threat to Florence's power. Giovanni has to discover who is behind the conspiracy.

AC Lineage shows the familiar wall climbs and roof runs that fans of the franchise enjoy. It also features characters who will be important in AC II. The fight scenes are awesome and the scenery beautiful. The three-episode short film shows the places Ezio Auditore will later explore in AC II and the possible reason why Giovanni and two of his sons were executed in game.
