This image of the main character from Assassin’s Creed 2 was found on the official Ubisoft forums before it was taken down by the Ubi Ninjas. This guy is also featured on the cover of the next Game Informer, where they’ll do an official reveal of Assassin’s Creed II.
He looks a lot like Altair from the first game mainly because of the hood and capes. I wonder if these guys have eyes.
According to leaked copies of Game Informer, the main characters name is Ezio Auditore de Frenze, a nobleman from Florence, Italy in 1476. This time around, you’ll supposedly be able to swim and have access to a gliding machine at Leonardo DaVinci’s workshop. There will be more mission types as well.
We have a full-sized Ezio render at the gallery. Read on for the cover of the latest GameInformer.
