The best Assassin's Creed game will be free from next week
Developer Ubisoft is offering Assassin’s Creed II, one of the premier installments of its historical killer-for-hire franchise, to players for free starting next week. With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic forcing people to stay at home for long periods of time, video game companies are offering up top-tier games to download free-of-charge, hoping to give gamers something to pass the time with while in social isolation.
Released in 2009, Assassin’s Creed II continues the modern-day story of Desmond Miles, a seemingly unassuming bartender tasked with unraveling an ancient conspiracy by living through the memories of his distant ancestors. This includes Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a son of a nobleman during the time of the Italian Renaissance who seeks to avenge his father’s murder at the hands of the Templar, a shadowy organization bent on controlling the world. To this end, Ezio allies himself with famous historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Caterina Sforza as he trains in the way of the Assassin and travels across an open-world rendition of Italy in what many consider to be the best game in the Assassin’s Creed series. Now, players will be able to embark on this adventure for free starting next week.
Having a hit title like Assassin’s Creed II available for free will be welcome news to both fans and newcomers, as the sequel made several improvements to the 2007 original’s open-world, stealth killing gameplay in addition to having one of the Assassin Creed series’ most well-liked protagonists and plotlines. Also, with several hours of runtime to its name, Assassin’s Creed II is a great way to pass the long days stuck at home during a pandemic. Players will be able to strap on the signature wrist-blades of Ezio Auditore da Firenze for themselves when Assassin’s Creed II becomes free-to-download this Tuesday.
