Assassin's Creed Fact Sheet
Product Description
Assassin’s Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will
redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with
impressive graphics and physics, Assassin’s Creed merges technology, game
design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a
vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change.
The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You,
Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the
conflict.
You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your
ruthlessness. Your actions can throw your immediate environment into chaos, and
your existence will shape events during this pivotal moment in history.
