(8)Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood



Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the title for the previously code-named "Episodes." The game was announced by Ubisoft and was released on November 16 (USA) and November 19 (UK), 2010.[3] The game is a continuation of Ezio Auditore's story, the Assassin's Creed II protagonist, as he returns to the city of Monteriggioni. After preparing for his sister's surprise birthday party for him, the city is sieged by Cesare Borgia, leaving Ezio to fight off Cesare's troops in the ensuing battle. During the raid, Ezio's uncle Mario gets killed by Cesare who then steals the Apple of Eden, leaving Ezio to escape the city without him. Ezio, wanting to exact justice, and retrieve the Apple, travels to Rome in order to liberate its people from the influence of the Borgia family. In order to do so, Ezio recruits new assassins, as well as form alliances between the various factions of the Roman underground. There are several times that Ezio goes to the Castel Sant'Angelo to assassinate Cesare and Rodrigo Borgia but they escape. When Ezio comes back to the Castel, he sees Cesare kill Rodrigo by forcing him to eat a poisoned apple, an apple which Rodrigo himself had poisoned in an attempt to kill Cesare. Ezio chases Cesare to the Apple of Eden and manages to claim it, and uses the Apple to kill many of Cesare's men. Cesare is arrested but he says that no man can kill him and chains won't hold him for long. Cesare then escapes to Spain and Ezio goes to Viana. After killing Cesare's men he fights Cesare and defeats him, throwing him off the ledge and leaves his life in the hands of destiny.
For the first time in the series, the game features online multiplayer. Players play as Abstergo employees, who, through the use of the Animus, take on the genetic memories of Renaissance Templars in various game modes.[4]
