Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Desmond Miles/Ezio Auditore da Firenze) | Part 1 [Livestream]
First time/blind play-through!
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. The third main installment in the Assassin's Creed series, it is the direct sequel to Assassin's Creed II and was released in November 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and in March 2011 for Windows.
The storyline picks up from the events of Assassin's Creed II and once again features Ezio Auditore da Firenze, now a legendary Master Assassin, as he strives to rebuild the Assassin Brotherhood in Rome by overthrowing the tyrannical Templar family, the Borgia, and bringing the city into the true wealth and wonder of the Renaissance. The modern-day narrative continues the story of Desmond Miles, who together with his team of Assassins, continues to explore Ezio's memories to find the lost technology of the First Civilization and use it to save the world from an upcoming disaster.
A sequel for Brotherhood was announced in May 2011, entitled Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and was released in November of the same year.
A remastered version of the game was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as part of The Ezio Collection in November 2016, and for the Nintendo Switch in February 2022.
Brotherhood retains the same gameplay from its predecessor, with many significant new additions. Combat with the knife, sword and mace is now dual-wielded, paired with throwing knives and the Hidden Gun respectively. This allows Ezio to seamlessly utilize the ranged weapons in the middle of combat. In addition, a new kill-streak feature allows Ezio to continuously move from enemy to enemy and perform multiple takedowns and executions using melee weapons. Utilizing dual-wielded weapons also allow Ezio to perform dual executions that work in conjunction to the kill-streak feature.
Ezio can now carry heavy weapons after upgrading his sheath, and is able to hurl them towards enemies to perform an instant kill, which can also be done with spears and halberds that Ezio picks up. The crossbow has also been added to Ezio's arsenal, allowing silent ranged takedowns. In addition, the poison darts have also been introduced as an extension to the Poison Blade, which can be gained through upgrades from Leonardo da Vinci himself, along with the second Hidden Blade and the Climb Leap Glove. Also, every utility in Ezio's weapon wheel can now be manually assigned to one of the four quick-access buttons, instead of being given a default setup.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a 2010 action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the third major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and the second chapter in the "Ezio Trilogy", as a direct sequel to 2009's Assassin's Creed II. The game was first released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November and December 2010 and was later made available on Microsoft Windows in March and June 2011. A remastered version of Brotherhood, along with Assassins's Creed II and its sequel, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, was released as part of The Ezio Collection compilation for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 15, 2016, and for the Nintendo Switch on February 17, 2022.
The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events and follows the millennia-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight to preserve peace and free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and features series protagonist Desmond Miles who, using a machine known as the Animus, relives the memories of his Assassin ancestor, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, to find a way to avert the 2012 apocalypse. The main story takes place during the Italian Wars, spanning the years 1500–1507, and continues from the events of Assassin's Creed II, as Ezio takes the fight against the Templars (led by the powerful Borgia family) to Rome, where he attempts to rebuild the Assassin Brotherhood in Italy and liberate the city from the Borgias' control.
Brotherhood features an open world and is played from the third-person perspective, with a primary focus on using Desmond's and Ezio's combat, climbing and stealth abilities to eliminate targets and explore the environment. As Ezio, players can freely explore Rome to advance the narrative, or complete a variety of side missions unrelated to the main storyline. The game introduces a multiplayer component to the series, in which players assume the role of Templars in training. A number of downloadable content (DLC) packs were released to support Brotherhood, including The Da Vinci Disappearance, a story expansion set during the events of the single-player campaign.
